One of the reasons why I keep this blog running is because I feel like I'm recording history in real time. Journalism may be the first draft of history but this blog is sort of like the messily edited, marked up version before the second draft is completed.
So in this Year of Our Lord 2025 in the City of New York in the United States of America, here's the situation that history will have to try to reckon with: the Mayor of New York City is under indictment and under the control of the President of the United States who's a convicted felon.
The Mayor of New York City is under indictment and under the control of the President of the United States who's a convicted felon.
This is dystopian stuff, the abnormal that has become normalized. Right now NYC is under complete control by criminals. I never thought, never imagined, we'd be in such a situation and that apparently this is what the people of this city and this country want!
And it's having terrible side-effects: the mayor's top deputies are resigning, the people we need to keep the city running are bailing out, fleeing this profoundly messed up situation. I can't blame them but we need them!
And to make it worse: the hot gossip is that the corrupt former governor of New York State might be the criminal mayor's replacement!
What the hell is going on? We must, as a city, demand better -- and vote for it!
