NYC mayoral race: who takes the crown? Episode 29

Zohran #Mamdani will face off with Andrew #Cuomo for New York City’s mayor in this week’s NYC election. Washed Up’s Colin Mullaney took a trip to the NYC to “investigate” and contrast the atmosphere of #NYC and #DC. As protests and ICE raids continue in Washington (amid the ongoing government shutdown), Colin describes visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty: symbols of America’s welcoming and open attitude toward immigrants past. Abigail Cavizo and Colin then discuss the many creative forms of protest that they have seen in DC, from No Kings day signs on Oct. 18 to a statue of Donald Trump holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein outside of the US Capitol building. Next, they cover the new White House #ballroom under construction, after Trump ordered the East Wing demolished… and the possibilities of a Trump third term? They conclude the episode with a dramatic recount of the #Louvre #heist, and their Bury the Lede segment, where Colin addresses Western attitudes toward death and dying — anticipating Halloween, Dia de los Muertos and All Souls Day — while Abigail takes on the importance of touching grass and silent time without distraction or noise.
