If Cuomo is talking about strategy, his first "mistake" was not publicly apologizing about how he mistreated people.
On City Watch today on @WBAI, host Jeff Simmons @JackHites talked with @andrewcuomo about housing, immigration and more. soundcloud.com/jeff-simmons-8…

When Grand Union landed @walkerartcenter in 1971, miraculously the individual lights of postmodern dance—Yvonne, @TrishaBrown Steve P, Barbara D, David G & @DunnDance wove their crazy tapestry harmoniously—with wit & irony. walkerart.org/collections/pu…

Jeffries is good on a lot of issues, but he's beholden to AIPAC @TrackAIPAC , which means he had no idea that the younger generation is actually against genocide.
ICYMI — @RepJeffries met with Democratic nominee for NYC mayor @ZohranKMamdani and STILL didn’t endorse him. New York state senator @JabariBrisport has a hunch about why👇🏽🤔
Thx for this wonderful, realistic program about what @ACLU is doing to counteract Rump's cruelty. Thank you Tony & Maria!

You explain it by saying everything out of his mouth is projection. Only scum wd call someone scum. So just call Trump Rump.
HOLY SMOKES! Gavin Newsom unleashes on Donald Trump in a new interview: "It's a weakness masquerading as strength. That's what I don't like about this son of a bitch. And forgive me I know he's the President of the United States. He calls me Newscum. How do I explain that to my…
