.@Biaggi4Ny says she's experienced firsthand toxicity "at every level of the Cuomo administration. A berating, a belittling, screaming at people. It's very much normalized." She adds: "It's like the worst-kept secret in New York politics, except it's really not a secret."

Why are ice cream gurus Ben & Jerry fighting “qualified immunity” for cops? “They need to be held more accountable, not less,” says @YoBenCohen. Too often, when cops kill, “they're not issues of split-second decision making, they're not issues of life or death for the cop.”
