I don't get it. How can anyone look at Mamdani-- his appearance, biography, campaign, supporters, and voters--and conclude that to win we must "Forget Woke!." But I suppose that's possible if you're the New York Times and consequently far away from New Yorkers and their concerns.

I rode the bus in NYC all the time and have literally only heard anyone playing a song or video on the bus in the last couple of weeks. And only two people.

My uncle Morris's number was 1066-M. To remember it, my sister called it Battle of Hastings Morris.

Our number was 146-M, and it was a party line. One time the Breeses didn't hang up their phone correctly and we could listen to them listening to the Cisco Kid on the radio.

Using "on" would suggest that you think a petard is a giant hook of some sort and not a boobytrap or bomb.

I can't read the piece since I cancelled my wapo sub, but based on this headline the conclusion must be that if genocide is what it will take, so be it.

The Harris campaign slighted the left in favor of courting mythical Liz Cheney Republicans. That worked out so well, it's clearly a model for the future.

I don't buy the premise that "Mamdani is part of a cultural shift to destroy the Jewish state " or even that there's inarguably such a thing. It distresses me to see commenters take that as a given

This is not new. Remember when every Black leader was pushed to condemn the words of Minister Farrakhan? Just as offensive and demeaning.

This is by no means original to Cuomo. Decades ago I was on the Upper West Side on election eve, and saw flyers everywhere accusing David Dinkins of antisemitism. The UWS is a heavily Jewish neighborhood. I think I know who the opponent was but won't say in case I'm wrong.
