People who live outside your city do not get to pick your mayor. Not in New York City. Not in Jersey City. No cuomo. No mcgreevey. No resigned in disgrace comebacks during fascism.

In 2 months, New Jersey has the most consequential election in modern history - our gubernatorial primary.

We shouldn’t still be hearing elevator pitches on who makes the best governor- we need to build power in working class neighborhoods!

KCMO issues response to allegations raised by former employee in civil lawsuit A lawsuit alleges that KCMO City Manager Brian Platt wanted to "lie to the media," and when a former employee pressed Platt about, he was demoted.

"Platt then allegedly replied, 'Why not? In Jersey, we had a mayor who would just make up numbers on the fly from the podium, and no reporters ever called him on it.'"

The mayor in question? @stevenfulop.bsky.social

LETTER: ICE doesn't belong in Jersey City, join us in a rally for immigrants - Hudson County View LETTER: Jersey City resident Adrian Ghainda reacts to ICE detaining someone in the Heights yesterday, highlighting a rally for immigrants.

I’m distraught that ICE is ramping up efforts in Jersey City.

However, it’s time to act- this Thursday at 5:30pm at Jersey City Hall come stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.

Come one, come all! No action is too small!

Some of our earliest supporters at JCMAS were the pro transit/cyclist community in JC. Help us return the favor with @hudcostreets.org campaign for more frequent off peak PATH trains by signing their petition. We are always stronger when we take action TOGETHER! hudcostreets.org/panynj/action

Hudson County’s Democratic machine still reigns. How long will its dynasty last? Fractures among its members, the end of the β€œcounty line” ballot design and continued progressive pushback have threatened the HCDO's stability and strength.

As we bid a sad farewell to the Jersey Journal, I was honored to be able to speak with journalist Teri West on the state of machine politics and the progressive movement in Hudson County as part of their β€œFinal Words” series: www.nj.com/hudson/2025/...

Tomorrow I’ll be joining @studentsforsci.bsky.social in talking to Sen Booker’s Office to vote no on RFK Jr’s nomination.

We can’t have someone so inherently inept on vaccines and medical sciences be in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services!

Newark mayor condemns ICE raid as 'egregious act' β€’ New Jersey Monitor The Newark mayor said residents are being "unlawfully terrorized." The Trump administration has pledged to crack down on illegal immigration.

We stand by anyone targeted by these warrantless raids made possible by the Trump administration's xenophobic and racist policies, and applaud Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social who noted that among the detainees was a military veteran.

Starting my own business became a reality for me since this year reminded me that I’ve worked too hard for others and not enough on my own dreams.

Having said that, we’ve got a few more projects brewing that I can’t wait to share with y’all soon so stay tuned!
