But for who? Rich people like you? Hardworking, working class New Yorkers are being pushed from their neighborhoods. Letโs build affordable housing that helps the people who need it. Under Zohranโs law, landlords can no longer rent vacant rent-controlled units to the wealthy. You are a rich person stealing affordable housing from the poor. And youโre not the only one. Itโs past time we address this injustice. Letโs build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.
Run him the fuck out of town. Now.

Screenshot post, Andy Humm: Not that any more is needed to put NYC Mayor Eric Adams out to pasture, but I was looking up Herman Badillo, a former Bronx Borough President and Congressman who later worked for Koch and Giuliani, and came across this on Wiki: "In 1993 Eric Adams, while President of the Grand Council of Guardians, accused Badillo of betraying his Hispanic heritage by having as his wife a white, Jewish woman (Irma, to whom Badillo had been married for 32 years, and who had Alzheimer's), instead of a Latina. Badillo responded that 'Voting based on race is the definition of racism, and has no place in a civilized multiracial society..' Badillo added: 'I don't apologize to anyone for the fact that my wife is Jewish.'" Surprised this hasn't surfaced during the current mayoral campaign--though it did in 2021. (with photos of Herman Badillo and Adams)
What a schmuck.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.
Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYCโs program helping people move out of shelter.
Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. ๐งต

This is deeply troubling and we all know there is no basis for any investigation. I stand with AG James who has been a leader in NY and across the country for holding Trump accountable to the tune of $450 million for his record of corporate fraud.

Singer Carsie Blanton performed at NYC SummerStage this weekend after Eric Adams canceled Kehlaniโs concert for fear that she would speak up in support of a free Palestine. Carsie made sure that Kehlaniโs message was distributed loud and clear during her set.
