it disgusts me the national democratic party barely pushes back at this attempt from the right to wind back LGBTQ rights decades after claiming to be the party of LGBTQ rights

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think β€œoh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

the lesson of the election isn’t β€œwe should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

extremely on brand for the atlantic to publish an essay denouncing bds for boycotting a handful of innocent israeli intellectuals, rather than denouncing israel for killing and displacing millions of innocent palestinians

Eric Adams's Budget Cuts Have Set Up New York City's Parks to Burn By cutting the exact people meant to keep the city's parks free from fallen, dead trees and keep the forests healthy, the mayor has set up a tinderbox that's already igniting.

NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

Why did so many New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump?
YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC Why did so many New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump?

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week β€” and even more not vote at all?

I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

It's Really Happening: The City Council Is Going to Stop Tenants From Paying Broker Fees Despite opposition from the real estate lobby and the mayor, we might finally be rid of the scourge of paying broker fees.

i'm trying to be much more intentional about the news sources i share. i just re-shared someone's post with an NYT link but realized a better version of the same story was definitely available on an independent, worker-owned site. so i undid the repost, and sharing the other link here:
