One immensely satisfying thing about today is that Elon Musk can crash out, Donald Trump can be pissed off, Michael Bloomberg can burn another $5 million dollars, and none of that will stop Zohran from becoming the next mayor of New York City.

It’s about to get ugly. Odds are millions are about to go hungry, starting at the end of this week. Our duty is not just to feed as many people as we can, but to organize, transform underlying conditions, beat fascism, and not allow this travesty to continue.

"Palestinians are still being routinely murdered and displaced in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank. The theft of Palestinian land via settlement and colonization remains ongoing. ... [I]t is safe to assume that these changes in public opinion [against supporting Israel] will only continue."
Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.
What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

As a wise commenter said, still go vote and end Cuomo’s political career 🥳
Zohran is easily going to clear 50%. In addition to everything else Cuomo’s name is hard to find on the ballot because he’s running under some random party lol
