As a candidate for NYC public advocate, Polanco vowed to expand the number of charter schools and work with ICE.

This is who Bari Weiss’ CBS goes to for an expert take on NYC politics.

The “expert” cited in this CBS piece is a Republican former NYC public advocate candidate who complained “The far left have a monopoly on the conversation in New York City.”

Surprise, he thinks Cuomo won on substance and Mamdani is all flash.

The Bari Weiss effect.

Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa were on the attack Thursday night in their first mayoral debate​.

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Step 1: Make an inflammatory, racist claim.

Step 2: When rebutted, throw out misinformation at rapid speed and ask bad faith question.

Step 3: When answered, make unrelated straw man about what liberals supposedly believe and knock it down.

Step 4: Take billionaire money.

A recent study by the RAND Corporation found that $79 trillion was pilfered from the bottom 90% of income earners.

The problem isn’t that America lacks abundance.

It’s that America’s abundance is being hoarded by a tiny handful of rich people. www.levernews.com/abundance-is...

...and many of those rich people fund the Abundance Movement, which doesn't want anyone to focus on that hoarding

Thank you @uftnyc.bsky.social for having me at today’s forum.

As Mayor, I will protect our schools from Donald Trump’s attacks and work to fix Tier 6 so teachers can retire on their own terms.

As Gov., Andrew Cuomo created Tier 6 and cut public school funding.

People lie. Records don’t.

In your article "Rampant COVID Poses New Challenges in the Fifth Year of the Pandemic" you use the term "endemic phase"

the word "endemic" is not on the WHO's webpage titled:
"Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic"

After distributing in two places, then getting kicked out of WonderCon, then going mobile haunting the perimeter with enthusiasm and friendliness (and free swag), we asked around enough times and ended up with our own temporary table at the con. A Clean Air Win!

Andrew Cuomo gave nursing home CEOs legal immunity from lawsuits amid the COVID massacre, as he raked in cash from health care industry donors.

Now that thousands of New York City residents are dead, he’s asking voters to reward him with the mayoralty. www.levernews.com/investigatio...
