Oxfam reports 49% of children in the United States are growing up in poverty.

Nearly HALF of American kids.

Meanwhile, millions of families rely on SNAP (food stamps) just to eat — while the federal government pours money into war and tax cuts for billionaires.

Oxfam reports 49% of children in the United States are growing up in poverty. Nearly HALF of American kids. Meanwhile, millions of families rely on SNAP (food stamps) just to eat — while the federal government pours money into war and tax cuts for billionaires. The US likes to lecture the world about “human rights.” But this is what an oligarchy looks like:

A few news orgs are starting to call it for Mamdani, with just over 60% of precincts in and him leading Cuomo by about 9%

With about 70% of the vote in, Mamdani is currently over 50%. If that holds, it means that even without Cuomo and Sliwa splitting the opposition, Mamdani would still have won.

Pretty much everyone now calling it for Mamdani at this point. Sliwa has conceded. I don't think Cuomo has yet, however.

Incumbent mayor Eric Adams, who withdrew from the race but still appeared on the ballot (he withdrew too late to be removed) is currently showing a whopping 0.3% of the vote. That has to sting a bit.

.....something like six thousand people voted for him and I am vaguely reminded of that thing where about 2% of the population will, for any given survey, go with the lizardpeople from another planet option instead of anything actually connected with reality.

I don't think his own voters actually like him enough to storm anything. But maybe the centrist establishment dems who endorsed Cuomo after the primaries can throw something together? 🤷‍♀️

Krasner defeated Pat Dugan, whom he already beat in May’s Democratic primary before Dugan decided to run in the general on the GOP line. Bolts reported on Krasner’s win at the time.

#3GoodThings (the Moby-Dick edition)

1. All 14 students finished the novel, & I will gift them w/#MobyDick t-shirts.

2. Great discussion of the interdependence of stories: Ishmael needing Ahab (the hunt provides Ishmael w/the material for the amazing chapters where he discusses the whale's body); Ahab needing the whale; Melville needing Ahab (to write the Shakespearian voice).

3. The novel as absurd (& yet we believe): Ahab finding this one whale in the Pacific sans GPS!
