I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.
A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers

This is the “I love this city” answer
it's absolutely fucking crazy that "retroactively legalize Watergate" and "exclude Black people from literally every area of public life" are the two primary a objectives of the chief justice and yet he is never reported on like the vicious gutter racist he is.
if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe
The pro-Mamdani anti-Mamdani split is another one of those that’s not really left vs center but rather more like on the level of having principles or not
Things are looking pretty bad for the New York City grid next week.
There is a nonzero chance of rolling brownouts on Election Day.
And remember: CUOMO DID THIS. He shut down Indian Point nuclear plant, which provided 2 gigawatts of clean power to the city.
Don’t rank Cuomo.
I wrote about this back in April: Places like NYC becoming unaffordable is a *huge* problem for Democrats nationally. If Cuomo wins the mayoral race, it's much likelier the electoral college becomes nearly unwinnable for Democrats in 2032. amandalitman.substack.com/i/160446970/...
I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.
"Idk on the one hand you have Cuomo who trashed the subways, killed old people and lied about it, and also was an extreme creep towards so, so many women but on the other Mamdani is kinda young don't you think? like, i mean he's young and has a lot of ideas? vote cuomo to be safe" - the nyt, prob
We feed you.
They hunt us.
You know, I try to stay away from this kind of analysis but in this case I think that this is a clear case of the powerful seeing a center-left alliance against their candidate growing and freaking out about it.
Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home.
Free Mahmoud.
"I am saying it clear and loud to President Trump: I am not afraid of you." PALESTINIAN COLUMBIA STUDENT ACTIVIST MOHSEN MAHDAWI UPON WALKING OUT OF ICE DETENTION PALESTINE LEGAL
Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident who was detained by ICE two weeks ago, was released today on bail while his habeas case proceeds in federal court. He immediately talked about how what our people are going through in Palestine continues to motivate him to speak out
My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.
Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST.
When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.
where are all the newspaper columnists calling for the cops to violently crack down on CPAC like they do on college kids? go bust some heads and ruin some lives for these scumbags like you do for kids protesting the killing of innocents?
if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground
Cuomo made lethal mistakes in his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that he's never apologized for. But he did get to keep that $5 million advance for a memoir no one read.
I stand with the families of nursing home victims demanding accountability.
reading about how the company that stole 100% of its data is big mad that someone stole all of their data
FIRST IN HELL GATE:
Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has had an extremely good fundraising haul.

NEW:
Is every life valued equally in New York City, or did the NYPD expend exponentially more resources chasing the killer of a corporate CEO than it did the killer of a migrant teen?
Asked by Hell Gate, the mayor says that the NYPD focused more on the CEO.

as long as your victim doesn’t matter to those in power, you can commit whatever wrongdoing you want (deny life-saving care to people who can’t afford it, choke a homeless man to death, commit a genocide)
Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.
