Andrew Cuomo’s going back to the Hamptons this weekend. It’ll be, at least, his fourth trip there since losing the primary.

andrew cuomo believes new yorkers are soo stupid lmao
Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it. We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don’t need it. Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

The moment when IDF troops ambush a convoy of clearly marked Red Crescent medics. We're all getting tired of seeing these IDF splatter clips, but that's what the IDF is counting on. It's not a good reason to stop posting them. x.com/nytimes/status/1908327…

Video showed that before 15 aid workers were killed by Israeli forces, they had their emergency signal lights on, contradicting Israel’s claims. nyti.ms/43C8G7j

There aren’t words strong enough to describe the cowardice and depravity of a “military” that will methodically execute medical workers, bury them in mass graves, and tell the NYT the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without lights on. These soldiers and their superiors are utterly depraved and a threat to all humanity. Before hiding the bodies in a mass grave, they forgot to grab the cell phone of one of the medics who recorded his own assassination for the world to see — if it cares. As the “soldiers” are nearing their vehicle, and the medic knows they will murder him, you can hear him saying: “Forgive us, everyone. Oh God, accept me as a martyr and accept my repentance. Oh mother, forgive me, this is the path I have chosen to help people.” x.com/farnazfassihi/status/1…

People have forgotten it, but this was the Biden campaign attacking Sanders for the Rogan endorsement.

Let’s be clear: Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.

WGA members at PBS stations @GBH, @ThirteenWNET, and @PBSSoCal have authorized a STRIKE if management doesn’t reach a fair contract before expiration at 11:59pm ET on Nov 21. The unit voted 100% in favor, with 83% participation. Tick tock, @PBS.

Two aid trucks entered the starvation zone in northern Gaza for the first time in a month and a half, reaching a school-turned-shelter. Israeli soldiers prevented Gazans from reaching the food then set the shelter on fire, burning the aid down with it. haaretz.com/middle-east-news…

Pretty wild that the American response to COVID has just been the rejection of the concept of public health.

There’s basically a media blackout on this story. Genocide isn’t newsworthy?
