@palan57 @Forbes Good time to recall that MI GOP was key to Milliken v Bradley, the SCOTUS decision by a court packed by Nixon that rolled back Brown & desegregation in Northern school districts.

EXCELLENT @NY1 mayoral debate. Sharp questions and the candidates are ALL on a roll. Cuomo & Sliwa especially have upped their game. Kudos to @errollouis for trying to pin @ZorhanMadmani down over his repeated refusal to state a position on NYC’s 3 ballot measures re housing!

Today, @ZohranKMamdani canceled a town hall with ABC following their decision to cave to Trump and pull Kimmel off the air. Just hours later, Kimmel is back on ABC. Resistance against Trump works. Cowardice doesn’t.

PLS NEVER ask me to complete a customer satisfaction survey @optimum . The problem is never your live humans. But your mind-numbing automated interface, the muzak & awful ads while you keep us on hold for ages…

A sad commentary on the priorities of administrators at many colleges. Save $$ by increasing class size (also by packing them into online classes.) Butts in seats! @jennfrey nytimes.com/2025/07/17/opi…

Very disappointing @SenSanders & @AOC . You had an opportunity to endorse a stellar progressive w broad experience actually governing in NYC—@bradlander . What do you think will happen to Dems w/ another failed inexperienced mayor in a big Blue city? nytimes.com/2025/06/17/nyr…

🚨🚨 BREAKING: @nytopinion: BRAD LANDER TOP CHOICE FOR MAYOR!!! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

In lieu of an Editorial Board endorsement, New York Times opinion (@nytopinion) is out with a special project, The Choice, on the Democratic mayoral primary. It asked 15 civic leaders & experts to weigh in on the field. 7 chose @bradlander; no other candidate got more than 2…

@TweetBenMax Wasn’t Ramos the first pol to turn on Stringer last time around—before there was a shred of evidence of any sexual impropriety??

Will be interesting to see what this deal entails, other than Ramos’ very high disregard for Mamdani. (And looks like the WFP will need to revise the fifth spot on its anti-Cuomo slate.)

Wow: Ramos endorsing Cuomo nytimes.com/2025/06/06/nyr…

@SusanBEdelman Wasn’t Ramos the first pol to turn on Stringer last time around—before there was a shred of evidence of any sexual impropriety?? What a hypocrite…

If Cuomo wins, Ramos is guaranteed a deputy mayor or commissioner post, a shrewd observer speculates.

@palan57 @Slate Unable to read the whole article despite having signed up for @Slate but writer is onto something. Even in college, many kids get through “liberal arts” without ever having read a complete work of fiction. Bring back the classics—broadly drawn! bloomberg.com/view/articles/…

I’ve published 4 books—all reasonably successful by a range of measures. Still, I wish @SamuelGFreedman had started teaching this class just a tad earlier so I could have taken it… Kudos on a fab teaching career ⁦@columbiajourn⁩ nytimes.com/2025/05/25/boo… via @NYTimes

“By the time of his August 2021 resignation, Cuomo had cut about 770 beds in OMH psych centers statewide, a 19% reduction, and 275 beds in NYC a 17% reduction.” nydailynews.com/2025/05/25/cuo…

A flawed messenger, but a vital message @dianeravitch ⁦@palan57⁩ nytimes.com/2025/05/25/opi…

I am grateful to this man. He rebuilt our reputation overseas; brought us the CHIPS act to rebuild our chip/critical minerals deficits v China; the IRA; bolstered Ukraine etc As my hubby who worked 4 the admin says: “If this is dementia, bring it on!” nytimes.com/2025/05/18/us/…
