For a publication absolutely obsessed with Zohran, the Free Press has barely made any effort to learn about NYC politics in any real way.
Beginning a column musing about Tish James running for mayor, which is not a thing she has ever considered, betrays a deep lack of sourcing and knowledge.

It is absurd how many supposedly serious columns and editorials compare Zohran Mamdani's platform to Soviet Russia. I linked to a slew of them in this piece. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/nyc-may...

I limit interactions on any post about Daylight Savings Time specifically to avoid this type of asshole. Sometimes, they are such assholes they see I am not doing replies and write a whole new one anyway. It's the most emphatic block from me.

The take on Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo from the publication run by CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss is that the "the left has now painted itself into a corner with Nazi iconography." Their supposed logic for this is histrionic insane garbage that the left does not oppose "killing Jews."

The protesters are back on the march from 26 Federal Plaza. They are now gathering at Tweed Courthouse. I wonder whether this is headed for the Brooklyn Bridge, which has provoked crackdowns at other demonstrations
