The rich and powerful have simply gone insane at the concept of criticism www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...

🚨 URGENT 🚨 I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t so incredibly important... Can you contribute ANY amount right now to help my campaign reach the maximum spending limit? There are mere hours left before the Campaign Finance Board disclosure deadline.

This is bad, bad news.

Thanks to @marklevinenyc.bsky.social for doing great work here - and to everyone who gives their time to community boards to make New York a better, more affordable place to live

So pleased and proud to endorse @bradlander.bsky.social for mayor! I’ve known Brad for years. He's a dedicated public servant whose effective, bold, smart leadership delivers results. In the face of Trump and the never-ending corruption of Eric Adams & Andrew Cuomo, it's time for competence.

Someone should be polling a four way general election with four scenarios: Cuomo as Dem/Zohran on WFP/Adams/Silwa Cuomo as Dem/Lander on WFP/Adams/Silwa Zohran as Dem/Cuomo as Independent/Adams/Silwa Lander as Dem/Cuomo on Independent/Adams/Silwa Seems like all are possible!

Some #nycmayor content! I went to the @hellgatenyc.com and @nysfocus.bsky.social mayoral forum last night. It was unfortunate that Adrienne Adams couldn't be there. Totally unsurprising that Cuomo wasn't there (though helpfully the moderators had his photo as a prop). Here's some takeaways:

Hey look it's me! (very blurry)

Two big names from the de Blasio admin—former Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen and former Planning Chair Carl Weisbrod—just put out an incredible op-ed on the housing betrayal happening at Elizabeth Street Garden. 🧵

As a avid reader/subscriber/donor to @thecity.nyc as well as a pro-housing advocate, it's deeply disappointing to me to see that there is virtually zero contrast drawn between the candidates on the most important issue in this election!

This honestly gives me some hope that Cuomo's support is super soft, but I think Stringer and Myrie need to drop out and endorse the Adams/Lander/Mamdani ticket. There's just too many names out there and it's too close.

It seem like there's an important difference between being yelled at for bad opinions and using state sanctioned violence against people for their opinions

This has to be the single uncompromising demand from the Democratic base and activist class: prosecutions and consequences. Democrats may talk a big game, but many WILL try to wiggle their way out of it if they are returned to power. But there cannot be any loss of resolve on this.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

After Passing Legislation That Decimated Outdoor Dining, NYC Council Demands to Know What Killed Outdoor Dining

I am once again asking Gotham social media to stop using marketing jargon in their marketing. Am I, as a fan, really supposed to look at this and say "activations! awesome!"?!

Once again financial elites show they have negative alpha

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It's a eugenicist death cult

I hit the mean streets of the Upper East Side with @dreamfornyc.bsky.social to see how voters in Cuomo Country really feel about Trump, Musk, harassing women (allegedly), and how many politicians it takes to fail New York's public schools.
