The only explanation I can imagine for the entirety of Cuomo’s campaign is that he has some kind of humiliation fetish. If true, I want to congratulate him on what I assume will be an epic nut tonight

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

Rather than just say “blue no matter who,” let’s take the time now to not only find someone whom we think could win but who also will not compromise on the rights of our citizens and who will not continue to fund and arm a genocide. There’s time!
First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.
Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.
Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

Newsom believes in Newsom, and that's about it.
He's a haircut with ambition but no purpose. A hollow wooden boy who will sacrifice whomever is most politically expedient.
We already have better candidates, ones who care about trans folks, care about unhoused folks...
We can do better.

At some point in the next 730 days I could be a Jeopardy! contestant. Or not at all. Anyway, here's the podcast I do every week about the show
Week of June 2: Everybody in the Pool. It's another week of musical chairs as we say hi and bye to several new champs. We discuss the big streaming news, Dance Hall Crashers, and dive deep on the CN Tower (oo OOO). Oh, and John's in the contestant pool.

time for an unfortunate media rite of passage: after 9 years at The Ringer, I was laid off this week. I’m gutted to leave, but grateful for my time there, the many wonderful folks I worked with over the years, and all the stories I got to tell
