At a rally in Union Square right now, Council member @chiosse.bsky.social tells the crowd, “We certainly need to abolish ICE, but that’s not enough—we need Nuremberg trials.”

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

“Show we your papers” used to an easy shorthand novelists and filmmakers would use to show the audience that the setting was totalitarian. These people are fucking Nazis and it would be nice if the Democratic Party would start acting like it.

I’ll take a small victory lap here and say that this is because transit advocates (including environmentalists like NYLCV) ran extremely strong campaigns for increased federal funding, more stable state funding, and congestion pricing at critical points in the last five years to save the subway!

They’re giving you quite the compliment!

This is an appalling misuse of government resources by the City Council. These mailers are illegal electioneering and are also straight up lying about the ballot proposals (which are good, by the way).

This was an incredibly fun concert and exactly what I needed.

My wife bought me a tank top of this image for my birthday a few years ago and it’s one of my prized possessions. Born too walk indeed.

Yes. My 6 year old is endlessly curious and would love something like this.

There’s a lot of work to do to fill the gap left by repeal of the IRA but not a lot of leeway to do it given that we also need to deal with cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs. Tackling NY’s insane permitting rules for renewable energy is a must-do for Gov. Hochul and the legislature.

I’m going to amend my will to add that if you let a tech company use my online profile to create a chatbot that pretends to be me after I die I’m going to come back as a ghost to haunt you specifically over this one thing.

RFK JR: Wind is the most expensive energy. They have killed 160 whales in the last two years. They’re wiping out the population. You are going to save the whales on the east coast because of this

The numbskull who campaigned to close Indian Point, and then fought against the replacement transmission lines for years, causing pollution in New York City to soar… has thoughts.

Brad Lander sponsored the bill that made that happen when he was in the City Council!

New York City has the strongest campaign finance laws and best public funding program in the country and it really, really bothers me to see that system undermined by super PAC spending, not just in the mayor’s race but in several Council races as well.

Has a single NY politician who wanted to ban public mask-wearing in this year’s budget commented on ICE and other brownshirts wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves?

I am very very proud to know Brad and to be ranking him first on my ballot for mayor.

My dad had open heart surgery last fall; it was super scary and he is still not back to 100% (it’s a long road to recovery) but I’m glad I was able to be there for him and I’m sure your mom will appreciate you being there for her. Your family is in my thoughts.

I am thrilled that NYLCV is endorsing Brad for mayor! I have known Brad since his first campaign for office in 2009 and I will be enthusiastically ranking him #1 on my ballot in June.

Absolutely- I adored the first two seasons of The Bear but couldn’t even finish S3 because I found it so boring and repetitive. Hopefully S4 is a return to form.

Not ideal that on the day the Brooklyn half marathon floods Windsor Terrace and Kensington with both visitors (welcome!) and diverted traffic (very much not welcome!) the G isn’t running at all and the F is running with massive planned disruptions. Doesn’t seem that hard to coordinate better?

Oh man, the closet I’ve ever come to getting in serious trouble at an airport was when the TSA swabbed down my toddler’s hands and sippy cup for gunpowder residue.

“Gasoline is more important than strollers” is such a perfect summation of the warped, self-destructive thinking pushed by fossil fuel and car companies.

I’ve been a lapsed Catholic for a long time but I find garbage like this and JD Vance’s heretical takes on Catholic doctrine to be genuinely offensive.

A beautiful spring afternoon like this when the Financial District is flooded with both office workers and tourists really highlights the absurdity of allowing thru traffic in this neighborhood. What are we doing here?

I gave Governor Hochul a real hard time last year over the congestion pricing pause so it’s only fair that I give her well-deserved props for showing so much leadership and fortitude now in the face of the Trump administration’s illegal efforts to end the program.
