Joining me today is Lindsey Boylan, who in 2021 was the first of several women to accuse former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment. Cuomo would eventually resign, under collective pressure from Democrats at the state and national levels. Now, Cuomo is running for mayor of New York, where he’s leading in most polls. This might seem a shocking turn of events in a reality where Donald Trump — a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist — hadn’t just returned to the White House, but Lindsey isn’t sitting silently while Cuomo stages a comeback. She’s doing everything she can to stop it.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why is was less surprising for Cuomo to stage a political comeback than where he chose to make that comeback, as he spent most of his career taking resources away from New York City by leveraging it’s politicians and attempting to take power away from its mayor
• The cowardice within the Democratic party where party leaders who once called for his resignation are now backing away with a “let the people decide” attitude, rather than addressing the horrific actions people have taken
• Why it is so important for Lindsey and others like her to stand up against people who abuse their power, especially in today’s political climate
• Ranked choice voting — how it works and the 5 Good Apples
• And more!

You can find Lindsey at Instagram (@lindseyboylanny) and Bluesky (@lindseyboylan.bsky.social). Her video testimony against Andrew Cuomo is devastating but important to watch, especially if you are a New York City voter.
