Do You Hear the People Sing?Not really, a lot of them quit. The Trumps and the Vances are dreaming a dream of attending the opening night of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on June 11. And while the current administration tends to look down on artists, at the end of the day, they have a heart full of love for the stars of Les Mis. A total of 10 cast members have withdrawn from Les Mis figuring if they stay silent they are condemned, if they speak out they are damned.

Over the weekend, a man used a makeshift flamethrower to attack a "Run for Their Lives" group that was drawing attention to Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Eight people, including a Holocaust survivor, were hospitalized. The details are stark: The attacker, a 45-year-old Egyptian national who had overstayed a tourist visa, shouted "Free Palestine!" before attacking the walkers with flames. He has since been charged with murder.

The fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder passed, mostly, without drama. No mass vigils, no police chiefs marching in kente cloth. A few muted segments on the evening news. Maybe a tweet. If the summer of 2020 was a reckoning, this spring was a shoulder shrug. Still, something curious is happening—not on the streets, but in the minds of citizens. Gallup reports that Black Americans’ confidence in their local police forces has risen for three consecutive years.

Imagine a week ago Dog and Mike going through neighborhoods one by one. Sunnyside? Win, Bayone? Thats a Loss...Park Slope; Win. Uppa West ?- uhhh I'll give it to Cuomo - YOU GOT THE STUDENTS MIKEY! --yeahhh, Dawg, but Cuomo knows how to get the Zabahhs crowd out, thats a
This is not anti Italian bc if you know Matt Liebs work you know he has affection for Italians, bc they are so good to make fun of and that is pro-Italian. Then there's Andrew Cuomo who he hates, but not BECAUSE he's Italian, though he always makes fun of him for being Italian,
Andrew Cuomo’s concession speech made me kind of emotional. Congrats Zohran. https://t.co/hZwaWxjPOn
Eric Adam is at 13% for re-elect, he can't win. Cuomo won't win and I think he won't run. He was rejected and he's reluctant to mix it up with media asking him all the questions he doesn't want to answer.
Cuomo is getting blown out so badly I don’t see why he would even try to run in the general. He has no base besides some Democrats and those Democrats just vote party line. Eric Adams would have a better chance than Cuomo, for real.
