1/ Two polls (one from an anti-Mamdani group) show Zohran Mamdani leading with Jewish NYC voters by 12+ points. The New York Times has not reported this.

@ahjohnson.bsky.social presents the story.

Polling shows mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a commanding lead with Jewish New Yorkers, but you won’t read about it in the paper of record.

Every champion,even the most decorated ones, sometimes needs to be given a strong talk. Swiatek needed a hard reset. Her team obliged. Read me @the2ndserve.bsky.social on how she might have won Wimbledon thanks to a team meeting after Rome, in her team’s own words: www.thesecondserve.com/hard-reset/
Hard Reset - The Second Serve
To regain her championship form at Wimbledon, Iga Swiatek needed a hard reset. Her team gave her one.

When public lands are sold off, it’s not just trees that disappear—we lose clean water, wildlife habitats, and sacred Indigenous sites. Selling off old-growth forests like the Tongass National Forest sets a dangerous precedent and robs future generations of these beloved natural places.
Opinion: Tell our senators — Alaska’s public lands must be protected, not exploited or sold

Props to Madison Keys for talking freely about seeking therapy.

In this fake world of reality TV and influencer culture, it's easy to feel like you are the only person who hasn't figured things out.

Spoiler alert: you may never figure it out. And that's okay.😆
