@VickiVonD00m @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani getting rid of the nypd is like beating a postgame boss in a video game, the amount of political capital required to do that with minimal consequences is obscene. we can want what we want, but we live in reality and have a long way to go to get to that point

@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani Get rid of the NYPD.

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do.
That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap.
Here’s some of what we found.

@Ewphoriac @DAisadope LA is also a much harder place to execute a ground game than NYC is. There's a lot of low-density areas to cover that NYC doesn't have, making it far less efficient for, optimistically, a similar amount of volunteers to work. the hurdle for Huang is steep, though not unworkable
English
@DAisadope Yes LA DSA is weaker, yes WFP isn’t put together in LA, but zohran was an anti-Zionist running in NYC, his opponent was a former governor. Where did our hope go? Where did our ambition go? Zohran winning was a miracle, are we just going to give up on LA because it seems too hard?
English
People saying she’s polling low act as if zohran wasn’t at 7% in March, people seeing the city council woman throwing her hat in the ring acted as if cuomo didn’t join the election, y’all please show up for her ground game, text banks, phone banks, put her in office

It's time we advocate for Angelenos after dark. As mayor, I'll create LA's first Office of Nightlife. We'll run buses until after last call. We'll mediate disputes between residents and venues so the cops stay out of it. We'll put naloxone in the hands of venue staff and protect people who call for help. Cities that treat nightlife as infrastructure see the returns: more jobs, safer streets, better quality of life for everyone 🌞 Join us at raeforla.com.

If you’re visiting New York City for the first time, where should you go?
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a suggestion for first-time visitors to the nation’s most populous city.
Hear that, plus what he's watching right now and where to find the best pizza slice in the city, during this lightning round of questions with @IAmAmnaNawaz.

Spoke to Freddy Peralta before leaving spring training and he reiterated that he wants to stay with the Mets long-term, if possible. He has family in NY and grew up a Mets/Red Sox fan. "I used to listen to them talk about the Mets, Mets, Mets. No one (rooted for) the Yankees."

@sb41375919 @NYCMayor two things can be true:
1) the IRGC is bad
2) the US and Israel are about the worst possible groups of people you'd want invading your country if your hope is actual liberation

Nowruz Mubarak to all the Iranian Americans who call New York City home!
It was an honor to celebrate Charshanbeh Soori with so many of you in anticipation of spring, renewal, and - now especially - the enduring hope of a new day for the Iranian people.
Nowruz is typically a time of good feeling, but this year is different. I continue to stand in opposition to this war, and I wish as many moments of joy as possible for all Iranians observing this special holiday.

Cal’s Mark Madsen on rumors linking him to ASU: “At this time of the year, there's always going to be outside noise (and) speculation, and our entire focus is on building something truly special here at Cal … Added “think this will be a banner year for retention here at Cal.”

An underappreciated aspect of Kent’s resignation letter is his claim that his wife, Shannon, died “in a war manufactured by Israel.” She was killed in 2019 while serving in Navy intelligence in northeast Syria.
An increasingly common belief in American anti-war discourse is that the GWOT as a whole, not just this latest conflict in Iran, was manufactured by, or fought for, Israel. When the nation’s top counterterrorism official says that openly, he is shattering a longstanding taboo and encouraging more engagement with the idea.
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@NerdeenKiswani @nazzobetweeting he says it has a right to exist *as a nation that gives equal rights to all citizens* which sounds fair enough at first glance but is entirely unworkable with what israel wants to be, and he knows this
English
@nazzobetweeting What’s so difficult to understand? He said he believes Israel has a right to exist, so a Palestinian told him it’s not his land to say that. He had no right to say that.
English
what the hell is zohran mamdani, the mayor of one single city, going to do about palestine ? literally what is the point of all this ?

A Palestinian man calls out Zohran Mamdani over comments about Israel. “It’s not your land to decide whether Israel has the right to exist.”

This combined with Cal Raleigh wearing this distasteful claymore mine t-shirt shows you the mindset of this Team USA; which is a militarized, violence obsessed, and warped sense of sportsmanship mindset. This is a disgrace and is the wrong message but is apt for the Trump era.

Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said that, after losing their starting center Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders, they were interested in pairing together Trey Hendrickson and Maxx Crosby. But Crosby’s medical exam put an end to that discussion.

FINAL: Italy 8, USA 6 One of the biggest upsets in WBC history as the Americans go down. Aaron Judge was up as the tying run with two outs in the ninth. Greg Weissert struck him out, and the Americans’ ability to advance now depends on the Italy-Mexico game Wednesday night.
