The fact that he’s taken time to post about this and but hasn’t had a single thing to say about everything else going on right now makes me extremely glad he’s not mayor right now.

I would be equally surprised if the 58-year old editor of a progressive magazine had never been to Canada

I’m a little bit surprised that San Francisco based journalist Clara Jeffrey has _never_ been to Portland!

Clara Jeffery @clarajeffery.bsky.social · 1d

Frankly, Portland, which I’ve never been to, sounds like a really fun and creative and less self serious than it’s rap place!

I am strong and will not allow Andrew Cuomo to negatively polarize me into supporting free buses

I actually thought this was satire. There are good, real grounded arguments against free busses.

Cuomo has picked (easily) the most nonsensical one.
