I am tired of the phrase “quiet part out loud” not least because the quiet part hasn’t been quiet since 2017.

Why is New York so hamstrung when it comes to countering the Texas GOP's new gerrymandering efforts? One name: Andrew Cuomo.
We warned about the unholy deal he struck with Republicans all the way back in 2012. Now the true cost has revealed itself.

Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social. Now that I am state president of NAACP, I am putting our litigation work to use and we are activating to comfort voters this Tuesday
I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

Andrew Cuomo is a bully, a sexual abuser, & has a record of bad governance & repeatedly undermining the Democratic Party in ways that reverberated far beyond New York.
He’s a completely unacceptable choice to lead America’s largest city, especially when it already has a mayor who is a crook

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.
