With a sane politician, they would submit to public opinion and resign. With MAGA, Eric Adams says he is going nowhere. He doesn’t care if the city falls apart, he is going to stay until the bitter end, to keep his power.
If you're a NYC resident/voter can you think of any reason to keep him?
Has he made any improvements in NY?
Has he made himself indispensable in any way, has he reformed anything for the better?
Well, maybe.
I note that they did not resign over the ethics charges themselves, but I do agree that organized gov't cruelty toward the powerless IS a more compelling moral case.
Upside down planes, unelected officials and billionaires pilfering money from our government, a FELON and INSURRECTIONIST in our White House… and you think this guy WON the election? Hell NO! @diretalks.bsky.social with @electiontruth.bsky.social

I wondered that too, but someone else pointed out how this *is* a way to get important news televised. Not sure if it's better, but I think it might be.
I understand the perspective, but by resigning en masse it will push to resolve the matter — as can be seen with the rising calls for Adams to resign and Gov Hochul’s outreach today with significant City figures. The four will stay on for some time to ensure that the City functions.
Governor Hochel needs to kick Adams to the curb. NOW. Before he starts cooperating with the raids. Then, the charges will come back because there will no longer be a quid-pro-quo.
Every trump cheerleader, sycophant, and devoted cult member will be infamously remembered throughout history like the devoted nazis were after the end of WWII.
The people refusing to cooperate with this criminality and corruption have read history, and they know they're on the right side of it.
For those calling for Hochul to remove him it isn’t happening any time soon. She’s going to get as much cover as she can first because FOX NEWS is already trying to lay the narrative that he’ll be removed because he was tough on illegal immigrants. And the media will run with that.
That's fantastic An honest person doesn't wanna have anything to do with that. Administration, because no good is going to come out of what's getting ready to happen in New York.. THE GOVERNOR NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION😳😡
Well there goes the logic for Adam’s charges being dismissed! These people have said no! We will not protect a criminal who is promising loyalty to another criminal! No quid pro quo! Republicans are terrible people!
If people with integrity must leave rather than work with/for one specific person, that person should be restricted to cosmetic rolls only. “Just smile and wave Mr. Mayor. No, that’s all you have on your schedule today. The deputies will escort you to the cabin once we’re done here.” Right?
Ethics?
Nah, self-preservation.
Ethics is speaking up before the surgeon removes organs to sell to the highest bidder.
They handed him the scalpel and now want to slip out before we see the blood dripping from their hands.
Can we stop looking for heroes, please.
Better to be known as a martyr, than a collaborator. They will at least have a clean conscience, a good referral, and a good future when this passing regime has been upended.
This is a time when ordinary Americans become heroes for not giving in to fascism and fighting it as their fathers and grandfathers did on the shores of the Normandy and Iwo Jima.
"Help! A bomb is falling on freedom & democracy!!"
"Ok, we're going to show OUR support by getting 200 miles+ away from it."
If you're not burning bridges & salting the earth on the way out, you might as well be one of them b/c "just walking away" is impotent complacence to their fascism.
They love this ! Getting rid of all the liberals is what these magats love!
Terrible position for these ppl and Drumpf and his mob cronies continue with their immunity !!
Wouldn't count on the military to save the country. Military will fall in line with whoever is in the white house. That's just the nature of an "apolitical" military tradition, which is a very good thing.
That's true, right up until it isn't. We've been doing a good job of keeping it that way. I agree it has always been a very good thing (for us, not necessarily for countries where our military has done hideous things). But apolitical loyalty to country may be why they step up to save the nation.
It is either resign, be fired, sue, or stand your ground and occupy your office, to protect the integrity of the Federal Government from these fascist, trespassers from "DOGE." Arrest Musk, abolish, dismember and destroy "DOGE" NOW!
Kathy Hochul - given how many people around Adams have lost their jobs - either by resignations or indictments - it’s not right that he’s the only One that’s left standing. Time to cut him loose.
Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer is actually the real deal when it comes working for New Yorkers with a strong resume of service to prove it. I am proud of her and her colleagues for standing up for the citizens of NYC ahead of self-interest, coercion, and corruption.
“[Democrats] desperately need a Left Wing Media System that rivals what they have on the right. And we desperately need our politicians and thought leaders to embrace that idea.” BTC https://youtu.be/-XGlZcV26-8?si=kzjxT3NgtXvJ3vAC
Brian ask warren buffet or Bloomberg to join with mark Cuban and buy one. But wit now. We need good cops to stand up and create a resistance force to go after musk and trump. We must impeach them both.
I salute them and throw virtual rotten tomatoes at Adams for placing his on job criminality above their jobs, their security, their hopes and ambitions.
It’s alarming when officials prioritize loyalty to a political figure over their commitment to the public. Ethics should guide decision-making, and resignations like these highlight the tension between personal values and political affiliations. Ultimately, serving the community should come first.
#wethepeople demand action from our representatives!
Call your representatives and demand that they do not attend Trump's State of the Coup on March 4th and instead hear the testimony of the 7 senior members of the Department of Justice who resigned!
They could have tried fighting from the inside; and now they've left the door wide open for one of their loyal goons to fill the position, and do major damage, with no accountability. I know this isn't what they intended, and it's infuriating either way.
But them resigning means Adams doesn't have to fire them when they step up and declare his office a sewer. They made it easier for Adams to take #TheUndertowFromThetrumpCesspool to fill his office.
Ethics do matter. I'm afraid these resignations and the others that will follow are a double-edged sword, though. While I applaud them for this display of courage, I know it leaves holes to be plugged. #Oppositioncoalition
I floated this idea one other time. I think we ALL need to mail postcards to OUR Representatives. Emails are too easy to delete, postcards take up space, time, and they might even be looked at. Overwhelm them! If half the country voted for this fool, the other half should bombard them with cards.
All the years of hard work and study, sacrificing family time. They are an example of the sacrifice our politicians need to make. Hard things hurt. Good people sacrifice.
Disgraced NYC Mayor, Eric Adams should be recalled by the voters now. Is there a process for getting rid of him now and not having to wait for the results of the next scheduled mayoral election?
I mean, isn’t that exactly the point? You don’t just move over and let them implement swastika armbands. You resist in whatever small ways you can, instead of let them roll uninhibited across everything. No?
“Meanwhile, Adams invoked "Mein Kampf" to push back at one of his biggest critics, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.
"If you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, people will believe it's true. And that is what you are seeing right now - a modern-day mein kampf," Adams said. “

I get what they are doing. It is commendable and they should be proud... but... who do we think these folks will be "replaced" with?
Has he made any improvements in NY?
Has he made himself indispensable in any way, has he reformed anything for the better?
THESE are fine people.

People resigning over ethics makes the news.
#FuckMAGA
I mean I think it’s was obvious earlier, but this is glaringly obvious now
Let them fix this
Why not stay and fight until he’s forced to out you?
There's got to be a better way to take your stand without giving up your power.
The people refusing to cooperate with this criminality and corruption have read history, and they know they're on the right side of it.
I doubt I've encountered any in years, sad to say.
Nah, self-preservation.

Courage is contagious.
I thank them for theirs.
Maybe others will disagree.
Good people are showing their great values!
But we really need to stop giving them holes to fill!
These people have courage and integrity.

America fucking sucks under Trump
Maybe one day.
New Yorkers you must do better 😉
Leak and usurp.

FIRE ADAMS!!!
She should have removed Adams weeks ago.
Remove.Adams.NOW.
It’s at least eleven if my memory serves.
Many Ass’t So District of
NY Attorneys have resigned as well?
👏🏼 Bravo!
Decency and ethics are still around and they do still
Matter.
Now they get to stock the place with fedsoc goons.
What happens as a long-term result other than making room for unprincipled shills who’ll just let Adams/crooks get away with whatever they want?
Let’s say we’re asked to do something unconscionable. IF we can’t obstruct, and they won’t fire us, THEN we resign. No?
In advance of any ask, resignations seem like pre-capitulation.
By E-mail. On a Friday evening.
Promote and support the corrupt and the incompetent, and the worthy and moral will self-purge from their positions.
I'm not blaming them, but this is not the win some might think it is.
