The ‘She’s Not My Type’ Defense, Deconstructed.
Democratic Socialist Next Queens DA? Probably. Tiffany Caban leads by 1100 votes with 3400 absentee ballots left to count. With six candidates on the ballot, her lead will likely hold. AOC and Liz and Bernie supported her.
Armed And Misogynistic: The link between toxic masculinity and mass shootings. BTW, Mother Jones is doing great investigative reporting. Donate to them, please.
Toxic Tax Breaks: How New Jersey’s politically-connected insiders steered big taxpayer bucks to a rogue company. Does anybody think this is not going on in Delaware? New Jersey’s governor is trying to put an end to it, John Carney is enabling it. BTW, Pro Publica is doing great investigative reporting. Donate to them, please. Before the end of the Fiscal Year.
Residents Of ‘Cancer Town’ Confront Owners Of Toxic Plant. If you guessed that the plant was built and owned by the DuPont Company until 2015, you’d be correct.
Jeez, lots of ‘toxicity’ today.
What do you want to talk about?
As an ex New Yorker I say Go Queens Go! The generational change is coming, and hopefully a better Democratic party as well. We all like to say we need more and better Dems and I could not agree more. But how to do it in the corporatocracy we call Delaware?
Tiffany Cabán was also endorsed by Philly DA Larry Krasner. He was in Queen all weekend canvassing & speaking on her behalf.

Solidarity.
N.B. This was a borough-wide election & Queens has more people than we do in Delaware. And also New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, DeSouth Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, Vermont or Wyoming.
So, yeah, we have the people. When organized properly it’s game over.
Socialism will win.
It’s a good example of why the Electoral College sucks. Queens has a population of 2.36 million.
Imagine if Queens had 2 US Senators
