Nooooooope.
"Gui Zhu Chen says her 'whole body is falling apart' after years spent as a 'live-in' home care aide, often working more than 90 straight hrs without sleep or meal breaks. In that time, she says, she was compensated for only a fraction of the hours she worked."
How is she even walking.

The No More 24 bill currently has 12 sponsors in the NYC Council. A majority in the Council is 26; a veto-proof super-majority, 34.
Please contact your Council member this week, and tell them: "I ask that you sponsor the No More 24 bill, Council Intro 303."

Home care workers do some of the hardest & most essential work in NYC, yet the system has forced them to endure 24-hour shifts without fair pay or rest. That’s not care, it’s exploitation. This legislation is about dignity for workers & safety for seniors/disabled New Yorkers who rely on them.
Imagine what could be done with that tax revenue? Maybe properly fund CUNY!!!

#ShareGoodNewsToo: The "No More 24" bill will soon get a vote in the NYC Council!
Bravo to the organizers at NoMore24.org for leading this very long fight to end 24-hour shifts for home care workers.
And thanks to @chrismartenyc.bsky.social for leading this fight within the Council.
I went to the first Rental Rip-off Hearing of the Mamdani administration.
Lots of stories about tough situations. What struck me was that so many people showed up not just for themselves, but for their neighbors and for strangers elsewhere with the same landlords.

this just in from new york city: we’re hearing that mayor mamdani just signed an executive order making it illegal to NOT stand at your window and fold your arms and say “wow, it’s really coming down out there”
NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.
The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."
hell yeah
Given the outsize importance that library service and potential cuts played during previous budget negotiations – not to mention Mamdani's own campaign promises to increase library funding – it is absolutely political malpractice to propose cutting library funding. gothamist.com/news/taking-...
If Instacart can bankroll a 30 sec Superbowl ad for $7mil - or $230,000 a second - they can pay workers a $21/hr min wage.
NEW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani will be able to appoint six members to the Rent Guidelines Board, giving him a majority of appointees to deliver his signature campaign proposal of a rent freeze for rent-stabilized apartments.

NYC's new affordable housing is increasingly found in mixed-income bldgs
But affordable hsg tenants tell me @citylimitsnews.bsky.social they can't use all of their buildings b/c of exorbitant amenity fees
"My first thought was that it was making a two-tiered system"

A dresser in the Merchant's House Museum, built in 1832, has been discovered as a secret link to the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.
