Just got home from the Eric Adams scavenger hunt. We had to find 300 children’s teeth hidden in the alley behind Zero Bond, and use them to build “an electric chair for rats.” The winners got to keep the teeth. I hate this city.

Tell everyone you know — DON’T RANK CANDIDATES YOU DON’T WANT
New York City voters: we are four months from a ranked choice mayoral primary! That means you get to list candidates you like for mayor in the order in which you like them. Crucially, if you don’t want someone to become mayor, you *shouldn’t rank them at all*
A rank is effectively a vote for them

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

there is such a pathological fear among dem electeds of backlash that it leads them to basically do nothing
As the unofficial Dem strategy explainer on here I can't really tell you why Jeffries had such a wimpy response to the Eric Adams quid pro quo. At some point this just becomes a timid resistance to doing anything.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

this post shows the importance of lawyers. jamelle believes he can properly interpret the constitution, but he can’t because he hasn’t had the requisite brain lobe surgically removed in law school.
no offense to my lawyer friends but this to me has always been the danger of letting lawyers claim the constitution for themselves. "ah but if we define this word that way and refer to this precedent here then it could mean this instead." yeah, it could. but it doesn't!
