Another great one, and gets at the Bloomberg/Lasher charter school legacy. A lot of these schools are actually a mess, fudge testing numbers, siphon resources from conventional public schools. De Blasio and Mamdani can't undo that.
This morning, I make the case against Micah Lasher. I also argue that he's a NY-12 progressive's best option.

Eli is great, I second this!
I've been following @ghostrunnerblog this cycle and was so impressed with his writing on #NY12 that I invited him to visit the morning Zoom I co-host 3 mornings a week. Read his last 2 Substacks and follow him. The most recent is about @micahlasher open.substack.com/pub/ghostr…

NEW in the Judge Street Journal:
Antonio Reynoso has been an outspoken critic of Israel.
But that hasn't scared away AIPAC donors.

Cait Conley's supporters have completely taken over the local fb group of 25K and wont let people post Judge Street Journal articles.
Conley has lots of experience "combatting misinformation."
And her supporters frame their censorship as such, dismissing articles as fiction.

Majority Dems and the Bench run blocking on the national scale
Then local supporters somehow manage to completely capture the local facebook group to stifle dissent.
It's a remarkable operation.

This is the intended effect of the posts and they seem to be working on at least some people:
You see what's happening: Donald Trump weighed in on Effie. She's the real threat to the status quo.
