news12bk WILLIAMSBURG SCREAMER: Residents say they are concerned about a man's mental health as every night he will scream at the top of his lungs, sometimes for hours. He's become so well known in the area that neighbors are constantly posting on the Williamsburg Reddit page about him.
"It's New York you think there's always a bit of noise, but It's really unnerving to have someone outside your window screaming for extended periods of time," said Councilman Lincoln Restler. Despite the councilman's attempts to get him mental health services, he says nothing has so far stuck.

He was there before yall

it’s really depressing how a certain vaguely woke contrarian anti-social politics has become the standard discourse on Instagram.

the way to fight displacement is build more housing, not valorizing someone with severe mental illness causing a public nuisance

Well, it’s because I think 700k people not having congressional representation is bad.

PUERTO RICO SHOULD BE A STATE.
Puerto Rico deserves respect and representation.
The State of Puerto Rico I would welcome.
I would not welcome statehood for DC.
To me, that's different. We need a federal territory for the capitol, it's in Constitution.

seriously though can someone explain to me why Jack Schlossberg would be the only Democrat to oppose DC statehood?

I would say this guy is gonna be Fetterman 2.0, but even Fetterman supports DC statehood

An Israeli classmate in grad school told us a story about how she was in an exchange program to break bread with Palestinians. she said that while the person she met was very nice, their lifestyles were fundamentally incompatible, “like oil and water”

this person constantly posts anti-Bibi content

Dude literally follows me on instagram plus everyone around him definitely knew but he chose to say absolutely NOTHING. For someone who visited my union in Staten Island a week before I sailed is diabolical. What's worse is that I made American History in the city he governs.

Going back to Bill de Blasio every mayor has mentioned or praised my activism even as trash as Eric Adam's was he invited me to his inauguration. Zohran hasn't done anything not even one tweet he's nothing but another career politician Democrat. Politicians are not our saviors.

Chris smalls (the amazon union guy) always gave me clout-chasing grifter vibes but seeing him criticize zohran for *not tweeting about him* is a new level of narcissism

if you want policy reasons not to vote for Schlossberg beyond the nepo baby cringe:

1. he is trying to NIMBY a NYCHA redevelopment that will bring thousands of homes to Chelsea

2. he opposes DC statehood

3. he has endorsed our local NIMBY Republican-lite crank for city council

Tweet from Katie Porter: 0% state income tax for California families making under $100,000. That’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket where it belongs.

As Governor, I’ll work the issue at both ends—lowering taxes for those who are struggling and raising them on the biggest corporations that can afford to pay.

Personally, I think people who are between the third and fourth quintile of income-earners in California should probably pay some income tax.

if every global transit system switched to two person train operation, it would result in service decreases, more people driving, and increased emissions, driving tons of death all across the globe

it’s baffling when people say this about the MTA, a public agency that operates at a loss and relies on significant amounts of government funding to provide a critical service.

Making the MTA more efficient doesn’t mean additional profit, it means more service within its budgetary constraints

it’s crazy how his entire crowd has just been shitposting about the senate housing bill, completely refusing to address any of the facts or policy tradeoffs.

like, sure, plenty of Abundance folks are annoying but that doesn’t mean “abundance = bad” is a coherent policy vision

its actually crazy that simply saying “New York City does not need to be the only place in the world that legally mandates two person train operation” results in literal death threats
