Today is my great aunt’s 104th birthday but actually she’s my grandfather’s first cousin and I never realized I did that because it’s annoying to describe the nuance in our familial relationship every time! Justice for Aunties Justice for Zohran

"Hitching your hopes to a single politician is always a fool’s errand; but the night was full of joy for an optimistic, pluralistic, ecumenical vision of the city that celebrates its diversity, and all the weird and wonderful reasons we all live here despite the rent." nygroove.nyc/nyc-mayoral-...

Oh no... bsky.app/profile/did:...

I hate this man

We are so back

Anticipatory compliance is how we descend into this faster

i keep getting texts from a poll group that is obviously working for Cuomo and they keep asking me stuff like "Do you support Mamdani's DANGEROUS PLAN to enact NEPO BABY GAY SPACE COMMUNISM in New York??!!" and of course i answer STRONGLY SUPPORT

Hearing @katiehonan.bsky.social in the background of this Adams presser is the kind of energy we're about.

I have a work call scheduled precisely during Eric Adams’ press conference because I am back in corporate America baby and can no longer multitask relevant to my interests

"I'm turning New York into the Riyadh of America"

"New York is the Riyadh of America"

Mayor Adams to the feds:

if he listened to voters concerns he’d have resigned by now

Bob Clark, VP of marketing for Herr Foods, Inc., said the company was surprised to see it was mentioned in the press. “While we can’t speak to the details of the story,” he said, “we can confirm that our Sour Cream & Onion flavor is money.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/21/w...

The present lawless occupation of Washington, DC by a range of Federal and local police forces is a good time for us all to reflect upon the lawless occupation of our own cities by local police forces. What are the laws that they break routinely, that you have accommodated yourself to?

I don’t think Jeffries refusing to endorse Mamdani hurts Mamdani because he’s running against two Batman villains that everyone hates but it does tell us that they really wish they could hurt him

Mamdani has as much as Cuomo, Adams, and Sliwa COMBINED.

Hot take, people who hate cities shouldn’t be in charge of cities

So many of us can't defend Palestinians or trans people or homeless people or immigrants because we're too busy defending the most marginalized community of all, elected Democratic politicians facing criticism

@stephennessen.bsky.social the Bedford bike lane section at issue is in Bed-Stuy! Plz keep that in mind when you’re on @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social today!

The bike lane is in Bed-Stuy! The distinction matters for more than just semantics!

! Actually it’s Bed-Stuy ! Not a predominantly Hasidic neighborhood as the lede of this article says ! It’s two blocks from the Bed-Stuy Home Depot! Other communities have and will live there for generations ! @gothamist.com @wnyc.org Stop calling it Williamsburg!

“Team Gentrifier”?!?! He’s the landlord’s lackey. Why is he getting so much money from them. THAT’S who makes NYC so expensive - and he’s their guy. Get stuffed, Hakeem. /fin

and DSA incumbent Jabari Brisport whose district overlaps NY-8 almost exactly is also born in Bed-Stuy & raised in Prospect Heights!!

Merch idea for the New York Liberty: Libubus @wnba.com plz advise!!!

Margaret Lyons is one of the best in the TV critic game & I'm v dismayed. Also these rash changes IMO will end in more NYT nonsense. Mgmt wants people with big/growing followings on social/platforms--but also they'll never want any controversy. Those conflicting goals = set people up for failure 👎

"ACTUALLY IT'S BED-STUY" she yelled to anyone who would listen! These three blocks are in Bed-Stuy, the cyclists who use the bike lane are in Bed-Stuy, other communities are affected, and the Hasidic community act like none of that is true. Adams' spox calling it Wburg here is a reflection of that.

I know an Allie Ryan subtweet when I see it

finally canceled my sub after this. sick of big elite media institutions doing all they can to obstruct democratic processes and upholding violent, fascist states

I’m sorry, “yes we sourced a story using stolen personal data about a nonwhite politician brokered by a neonazi BUT the story illuminates the complex nature of racial identity” does not pass the laugh test

Has anyone checked on Jessica Ramos

@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social hi y'all! it seems your graphics are showing everyone in 3rd place at 0.0% (noticed it for manhattan bp but happening in every race you've shown since) errol just said it out loud but you should fix the gfx!

New York and national Democrats should think long and hard about baselessly attacking a 33 year old who just got 545k votes in a primary.

ok NYC there are no easy choices here, every mayoral candidate has serious character questions that should give anyone pause: one guy is a serial sexual harasser who killed your grandma one guy is a literal criminal who is cutting deals to sell out the city for pardons one guy moved a table

Today is a great day to... yell at Kirsten Gillibrand's voicemail (it's cathartic!)

Every time someone says the business community I am transported to when Moira Rose is addressing a room full of lesbians in Schitt’s Creek and honestly? It’s the only way I will endure this discourse

When I'm not exclusively posting about New York City politics™ I am also a music supervisor! So! Seeking a film composer based in, or from, Flatbush BK! Share with your networks if you know cool talented folks (which we all do this is NYC baby)

voters love it when you don't show active disdain for them, it turns out nygroove.nyc/the-secret-t...

The lesson here is that if you hate NYC and you have utter contempt for New Yorkers and you can't even hide it you probably shouldn't run for mayor, because we will get your ass

I am distressed by how much I know about the New York mayoral race.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social has shared this graphic and instructed us to use this to report any issues (esp if BOE is missing and not returning)

on* line

Saw this happen today, the poll workers were politely resistant, saying the voter needed to go to a different location, but they persisted and got an affidavit ballot ⬇️

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.

Yeah, that's why we're like this rn

👇👇👇 we'll be streaming this live from our election night party at Honey's, come through! (and consider this a worker-owned-local-media cross-endorsement 🤝 )

To treat Zohran Mamdani as the kind of “dangerous” force that requires pulling out every dirty trick, agèd reprobate, and millions of dollars while handling Trump’s constitutional demolition derby with kid gloves is simply unforgivable.

Updating these with a Southeast Queens folder too! Making a few quick edits! Plz share with your networks if they want to circulate IRL!
