Sign of the day…

Spending $ to convince us they are paying their workers when they should just pay their workers. 🙄

Completely compromised and utterly vile. We need way better leadership than this. BTW, Cuomo aint it. #DontRankCuomo

Public testimony about Intro 1138 is beginning NOW in the City Council! Dozens of New Yorkers are signed up to testify in support of universal daylighting. Follow along in this thread for updates from the bill's hearing this afternoon:

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for Tr*mp. It's really simple.

Empasizing a point made by @levin.bsky.social, there are actually excellent choices for mayor this time around, any one of whom would be an order of magnitude better than any mayor we've had before. Brad Lander is my number one pick and Zohran Mamdani is my number two. YMMV, but spread the word.

Let’s go! 👏👏👏

"Victory if landlords" is a great slogan for the Cuomo campaign

Actually insane. How will @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @repdangoldman.bsky.social @velazquez.house.gov @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social be fighting against the total collapse of our constitution?

We're just a week away from @council.nyc.gov's hearing on Intro 1138 to make universal daylighting the law in NYC. Thank you council member @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social for sponsoring this bill — NYC needs universal daylighting!

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

Unless you're very very rich, I don't understand people who think they'll escape an economic collapse unscathed.

Petitioning is a difficult step in the NYC election process — candidates must collect hundreds or thousands of signatures in order to make it on to the primary ballot this year. Congrats to all of the people-powered candidates we’ve endorsed for successfully filing this week! On to the primary!

The line I'm seeing most clearly right now are people who think "I hope things can go back to normal" and those who know that there's no going back and also that back was not in fact "normal."

Comrades, it's ok to take delight in an outcome that you played a small role in ensuring. Some joy doesn't mean that you are ignoring the terrible. It means that you might have a better chance of surviving the terrible and remaining committed to bringing about some good. Have a good day.

Democrats, listened to Booker's speech, thought "that's nice," and immediately went on to continue confirming Trump's nominees.

I did not have Conor Lamb joining the resistance on my bingo card. But I’m here for it.

As a Jewish constituent of this district, I’m beyond annoyed. Hanif is a great leader and this primary is a colossal waste of time and money being funded by people who don’t live here.

In case you thought maybe RFK Jr won’t kill anybody, don’t doubt it he absolutely will.

"Only NYers may call the subway a shithole! That is the right of anyone who has waited for the G on a Saturday night, or who has gazed at the ooze seeping out of the ceiling of the Bowery J train stop, not some Wisconsin-ass reality TV has-been now overseeing transportation policy in this country."

Q: Who wants Andrew Cuomo to be mayor? A:

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

I don't want to raise false hopes, but I don't think this is over. If you haven't called your Dem Senators yet today, now's the time.

The ride on the B/D over the Manhattan Bridge is good for the soul.

That's my mayor. I'm not even Catholic anymore, but showing up with the Ash Wednesday cross and nursing baby is such a Boston b*tch power move that sometimes I forget she's originally from Chicago. (This is how people from Boston do compliments.)
