Thrilled to hear @nynurses.bsky.social reached a deal with Mt. Sinai & Montefiore for safe staffing ratios, benefits, & stronger workplace protections, after nearly a month on the picket line. Shameful that NY-Presbyterian still has them freezing out in the cold. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/n...

Wow, this is big news. @sengianaris.bsky.social has been a real champion for safer streets and better public transit. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

🚨Tentative agreements at Mount Sinai and Montefiore 🚨 The deal is pending ratification by the members, who will return to work Feb. 14 at the earliest. Still no deal at NYP. Details here ---> www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/m...

“Imagine wrangling 20 babies out the back to get safe,” she said.

New York City nurses reached a tentative deal to end strikes at two major hospital systems while a walkout continues at another.

They’re putting menstruating women in diapers.

I took down Andrew Cuomo, now I'm running for City Council to take on the cost of living crisis.

Moms told me there were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide. Kids lost their appetites after finding worms in their food and were constantly sick. Recently, there were also measles cases at the center. 7/

My research colleague Gabriel Sandoval obtained 911 logs from Dilley that had calls about toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman passing out and a girl with seizures. Three calls were about alleged sexual assault between detainees. 8/

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

15k NYSNA nurses continue to hold the line on the largest & longest nurse strike in NYC history and demand that employers settle fair contracts. Please consider making a contribution so our braves nurses can hold the line one day longer, one day stronger. www.nysna.org/news/support...

Zohran go on the Muppets

lol, why?

More training, body cameras, and rules about masks won't fix this. Abolish ICE.

For anyone interested, Sarah Gerard wrote a book about Caroline’s murder that includes a section on how Botstein’s indifference enabled violence against women at Bard. It includes a discussion of his one book, on the education of adolescents, which includes his thoughts on girls’ “menarche.”

Sex between faculty and undergraduates was permitted and tacitly encouraged. He berated a consent activist. Title IX proceedings were known to have his scorn. He personally intervened on behalf of male students accused of violence against women, including the man who murdered my friend Caroline.

Hard to overstate the extent to which Leon Botstein’s personal scorn for feminist anti-rape politics permeated Bard College’s culture while I was there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

She's legit, y'all.

Q: Why will football be featured during the Bad Bunny concert?* A: The Bad Bunny concert is fantastic exposure for the NFL and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put the game of American football in front of fans of the biggest musical artist in the world.

We're traumatizing thousands of kids for life. The people behind this are monsters.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

NEW: 10 years ago, Astoria had no democratic socialist elected officials. Now, the People’s Republic is the only neighborhood in the United States with socialist representatives at the city, state, and federal levels of government. How did we get here? open.substack.com/pub/michaell...

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

City Councilman @chiosse.bsky.social says he "respectfully disagrees" with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about whether @socialists.nyc should run a candidate against @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this year.

This fight pisses me off so much. The system is broken and awful. I’m not even asking Harvard to fix that. But MY GOD can you pay the workers, even if just for the PR and noblesse oblige vibes! Getting a custodial job at Harvard should feel like hitting the lottery. This is just disgusting.

This is the correct frame—SRG as the specific organizational unit is not the issue, it’s the people in the unit and their actions that are the issue

kind of encouraged by Hochul, that such a hapless buffoon--couldn't get a state judge nominee past her own party in the NY Senate!!!--could still get it together to pass congestion pricing (eventually) and make nice with Zohran

He's effectively the senior partner. If he can keep her feeling like she is - as apparently he has done so far - money is going to flow to the city like it hasn't in years.

Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse "told Hell Gate she was invited and went to Wednesday's [Zoom] meeting, but left ...as soon as Bichotte Hermelyn began talking about Hochul, Adams, and voting to rescind the county party's endorsement." Incredible scenes -- hellgatenyc.com/bk-dems-unen...

good for her, I guess?

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night. I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.

PS: @dianaforqueens.com received a little over *48%* of her votes on the Working Families line. Just the latest piece of evidence that the state of the Republic of Astoria is strong. @workingfamilies.org | @nywfp.bsky.social

Honored to have the support of State Senators @juliasalazar.bsky.social & Gustavo Rivera. Julia & Gustavo are two progressive powerhouses fighting for universal healthcare, expanded tenant protections, & a New York that works for all of us.

Thank you, Queens! Today, Astoria and Long Island City voted to send a socialist immigrant mom to the New York State Assembly. Our movement is headed to Albany. I’m ready to make you proud.

“One young girl who kept coming up to me, a little girl who was hugging my leg, asking us to help get her out of there.” - Rep. Joaquin Castro

This goes to my longstanding soapbox: everything is a disability policy from housing to health care to urban planning to mass transit.

Roughly half a million women in the US exited the workforce in 2025, and 42% of those who voluntarily left cited their caregiving responsibilities as the main reason, according to a recent survey from Catalyst. www.hr-brew.com/stories/2026...

Oh my god. Please read this essay. We have got to get people out of these camps.
