Rent stabilized apartments in New York don’t come with income caps. Andrew Cuomo doesn’t know this because he doesn’t live here
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

"voters are why I lost" is the funniest possible thing for a politician to say.

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.
The Most Relevant Movie in Theaters Is Poised to Make Oscar History. It Would Be a Shameful First.
It swept the critics’ awards and seems like an Oscars lock, yet it still doesn’t have a distributor.

The Times ed board argument here, seemingly “against” Trump’s attacks on trans people, is mostly concerned with rhetorical defenses of trans people in the military as patriots (and so deserving of rights), with mentions of bans on medical transition framed as “debate”
Does the Times regret its contributions to those attacks?

Hospitals that are cutting off care to trans people under nineteen are the very definition of "complying in advance"—some, as I report in this story, even claiming, incorrectly, that Trump has "prohibited" gender-affirming care. He has not. They are caving. More here: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Some of the best parenting advice I’ve found is: you don’t need to always know what to do, you need a guiding framework. Democrats have no guiding framework. They are making up every script as they go and they are absolutely terrified of appearing to have values.

my not-unprofessional opinion is this trans youth care ban would not be before the Supreme Court at all if not for Alliance Defending Freedom (aka the people who brought you Dobbs) and would not be treated as a "tough" issue for "even liberals" if not for the New York Times
