This month, @karenhao.bsky.social spoke with more than a dozen federal workers who described how the Trump administration is pushing a new ideology and stoking paranoia. “People are terrified,” one source said, “not for losing their jobs but for losing democracy.”

wth He doesn't serve TRUMP. He serves US, the people of NYC. Making a "deal" not to criticize TRUMP is a betrayal of his responsibilities to NYC. I just called Gov. Hochul to ask her to finally use her powers to kick Adams out of office. If you'd agree, her number is 518-474-8390. #DidThisToday
