If you’re wondering how a mayor Cuomo would respond to the situation that’s unfolding in LA, this is what he had to say as governor in 2020

Best big city mayor right now and it's not even close

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

This is why as a New Yorker, we MUST elect a mayor who will fight for us and protest the most vulnerable. Rank: Zohran Mamdani Brad Lander Zellnor Myrie Adrienne Adams and Michael Blake In whatever order you choose to get a good progessive mayor in this town!! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

What is the city but the people?

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Having been at a press conference where some of these people showed up, it's hard to get across how scary they can be. Disagreeing speech is one thing, but constant screaming, goading anyone who will pay attention, and constant looking for fights is... something else.

I've been to meetings crashed by these guys, and they make me feel physically unsafe every time. And I'm a fairly tall man! They're really aggressive and shameless

Updated my yard sign.

Jessica Ramos’ deranged endorsement of Cuomo is great news for everyone who was interested in ranking Michael Blake but didn’t know who to bump from their top 5.

Amending this: You should not, under any circumstances, hand your vote to Jessica Ramos. I'm voting Blake #5 instead. (The WFP made the same update to their recommendations.)

Every new bit of news about Cuomo and his campaign is about how he’s a fraud and a liar and none of it is about his vision for a better NYC because we he doesn’t have one.

This Pride Month, Rebecca Black speaks for us all

Help: Local Fruit Can't Stop Listening To Rebecca Black

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

here's the clip

I ride the B41 a lot, so I'm very excited about this! A similar bus lane configuration on Van Ness Avenue in SF improved bus speeds by about a third

Not sharing the stupid CNN article so I'll simply opine that I hated Andrew Cuomo pre-COVID for mismanaging the subways and I hate him even more now for killing my grandfather and thousands more in nursing homes across the state in 2020

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments

Andrew Cuomo knows: moving to New York City can be hard. But voting here shouldn’t be. 🏠 Already registered here? Update your address by June 9th 🧳 New or never registered? You must register by June 14th Head to zohranfornyc.com/vote. We’ve got an affordable city to win.

Some decent news from the San Jose BART extension: the consultants are preparing an option for a smaller (34') tunnel bore with cut-and-cover stations at 28th and Diridon and a sequential excavation method (SEM) station downtown, ostensibly to save money (see p. 143, not p. 134)

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

this pride month let's celebrate gays who are boring and a little lame

This is why, in the @etany.org regional rail plan, the first line to get through-running is the Port Washington Branch, LIRR's shortest and most urban line

I'm still deciding my final order, but I will be ranking the entire WFP slate (now featuring Ramos), and you should too! #DontRankCuomo

NEW: The Working Families Party chose Andrew Cuomo’s leading rival, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, as its top choice among its slate of ranked candidates, followed by Brad Lander, the city comptroller; Adrienne Adams, the speaker of the City Council; and Zellnor Myrie, a state senator from Brooklyn.

We’re fixing Atlantic Avenue! This is what a comprehensive community-led rezoning looks like 🏠

I think this was extremely smart of Zohran because now 1) there is an undeniably viable Cuomo alternative who may have the pull in Black Queens needed to cost Cuomo in RCV (probably Black Brooklyn too for that matter) and 2) said Cuomo alternative now owes Zohran for helping her achieve viability

Illegal right on red. Common suburban driver mistake.

Although this is only a partial deinterline, moving the merge from Rogers Junction (33tph) to Utica (16tph in the IRT Capacity Study) would improve reliability a lot. Operations at Flatbush Av would be simpler too, since 2/5 trains currently have to wait for their specific terminal track

The MTA has been granted a TRO preventing the federal government from taking retaliatory measures to force the agency to turn off congestion pricing

When anti-livable streets groups tell us very loudly who they are, we should listen.

The Del Mar Tunnel CEQA comment process is now open, but NIMBYs want to shut down the US's #2 rail corridor instead of saving it from falling into the sea. Tell SANDAG by June 30th to support the fast Crest Canyon alignment and #LeaveRoomForCatenary! @ridesd.org docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Penn Station is critical to the future of regional and intercity rail travel in New York. Our executive director, @thefoxandthecity.com, will join @hsrail.bsky.social's Rick Harnish to discuss the current situation, the capacity issue, and how to move forward. us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

While it is great the MTA is going to order at least some open gangway cars for its R262 order, there is absolutely no reason not to order only open gangway trains. They are a proven technology all over the world. www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/15/s...

I sincerely love that the other NYC mayoral candidates have joined together to openly talk shit about Andrew Cuomo.

I thought Martha Stewart owned Martha's Vineyard until I was a teenager
