When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:

Landlords Commit $2.5 Million to Help Cuomo's Mayoral Campaign
The money, the largest example of outside spending by a single donor in the New York City mayor's race, will go toward campaign ads on Andrew M. Cuomo's behalf.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation

Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.

This shouldn’t need to be said but hospitals are supposed to be safe places. Sanctuaries. Free from judgement.

Healthcare workers should not be calling ICE on their patients.

They shouldn’t be calling the police on pregnant women who miscarry.

Their job is to help. Their oath is to do no harm.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

The Trump admin is moving from denying climate change to rewriting it. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a longtime oil industry executive, announced plans to “update” past National Climate Assessments, the gold-standard, peer-reviewed reports that lay out the risks of the climate crisis in detail.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.

RFK Jr is not just a deeply evil and cynical man endangering the lives of public health workers with his constant anti-vaccine, anti-public health rhetoric, he is also going to be responsible for the goddess knows how much global suffering it boggles the mind.

As the leaders spoke, dozens of staffers posted messages in the meeting chat, many naming Kennedy, who oversees the CDC at the Department of Health and Human Services, citing his years of spreading misinformation about vaccines and vilifying the health agencies he now leads.

One employee described the shooting as “the culmination of ongoing animosity toward CDC and the work that we do — not a one-off incident.” Another named Kennedy in a comment that drew dozens of supportive emoji reactions, writing: “We need them to stop fanning the flames of hatred against us, stop spreading misinformation. We will not be safe until they stop their attacks against us.”
