The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

You can't support fascism and claim to follow Christ's teachings. It's one or the other. They are entirely incompatible.

This is another post breaking down our last post.
The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason

When the world rushed “back to normal” & abandoned Covid mitigations, we saw how much ableism & eugenics is ingrained in society.
Disabled people warned you it would give rise to fascism, mass death & disability.
You can’t abandon entire groups & keep your moral compass

Given this administration’s actions in the Eric Adams case, it would seem to me that New Yorkers would want a mayor that’s not corruptible. I am not a New Yorker, but if I were, I would not rank Cuomo.
