aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

I'm guessing Cuomo means that if a rich person takes the bus they get it for free, not necessarily that bus riders are rich. Still, he's so sloppy in his messaging and it's no accident. It's a Trumpian kind of plausible deniability to sow division and play off of fake concern for the working class.

Public comment period at our CB6 meeting in the Court Street bike lane. First comment: “I’m in favor of a bike lane on Court Street, just not this design.”

Last week, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social joined Starbucks workers that had unionized and are fighting hard for a fair contract. Meanwhile, Cuomo, claiming that he is finally becoming more "visible," didn't even show up today to the boarded up Starbucks in Harlem his campaign said he would be at 1/

Here's Cuomo's spokesperson retweeting a MAGA influencer who posed for a photo with Cuomo and declared that she "Can't let zohran the terrorist Mamdani win."

This weekend: 35 canvass launches. All five boroughs. Six weeks left. The home stretch starts now. Sign up at zohranfornyc.com/bfcv

Some reps reuniting after their arrests on the 10th floor. Including @jabaribrisport.bsky.social, Marcela Mitaynes, and @emilyassembly.bsky.social. These actions are solemn and tense, but there's also so much fellowship and joy. These folks know who they are and what they're here to do together.

Some more photos from the action today at 26 Federal Plaza. Here NYC and NYS reps including @bradlander.bsky.social show the citations they received after being arrested for demanding to be shown the ICE holding cells in the building.

Always remember that sick, twisted people find camaraderie in their shared love for hurting others. Woody Allen's actions, in particular, deeply disgust me. Story time 🧵/ I grew up in New Milford, Connecticut. Mia Farrow, Woody Allen, and their children were seen around a lot when I was young.

"President got a late night TV show canceled" seems like one of those stories that penetrates the public consciousnesses better than stuff like "president threatens the independence of the Federal Reserve"

New from me: The NY Attorney General’s Office is investigating politically influential law firm Abrams Fensterman over its debt collection practices for nursing homes. (The firm says there is “no fraud or illegality to investigate.”) www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

On "Mainstream," the app set up by "Fix the City" (the Bloomberg/Doordash PAC) there are many pre-written, terribly misleading, and evil posts sharable directly to Facebook and X. Only a sick campaign would use things like 9/11 this way. I wouldn't expect anything less from Cuomo + his friends.

Join us for our annual picnic on Saturday (9/6) in the Mount Prospect Park lawn area (entrance on Eastern Parkway between the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Public Library). See you there, follow this link for all the details: partiful.com/e/70fA62ooKN...

This would be an outrageous abuse of the Board of Elections role in order to override the democratic process.

There was already a long list of reasons Frank Seddio is unfit to be a BOE commissioner. This sort of backroom dealing with Republicans in order to block voters from having their say is a perfect illustration.

Republicans on NYC's Board of Elections think they can illegally overrule ballot questions—or at least delay for long enough that the questions can't be printed on ballots. Signal boost, send emails, and help us stop them:

regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...

This morning we gathered on McGuinness Blvd. After a beloved Greenpoint teacher was killed in a crash, the local community thought they had won a transformative redesign of this dangerous road — then the work was halted by City Hall corruption. As Mayor, I’ll finish the job.

Zohran Mamdani committed to finishing a slate of street safety projects the Mayor Adams administration either watered down of killed, starting with a full road diet for McGuinness Blvd. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/25/m...

Frank Seddio taught Eric Adams everything he knows about politics. I mean, Adams’ Brooklyn campaign HQ is *in* Seddio’s office!! Adams says, “It was the place that shaped and made me. It was the place that taught me.” ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

In case you’re confused about why everyone is talking about chips… www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/20/w...

"Conservative state leaders appear to be nearly unanimous in their view that big cities should be prevented from governing themselves. In particular, they are committed to denying local governments the freedom to ask their own voters to raise their own taxes" -- humantransit.org/2025/08/the-...

Game on.

NEW: Brooklyn power broker Frank Seddio filed more than 500 “no-fault” auto insurance lawsuits on behalf of a Brooklyn-based physician accused across multiple lawsuits of participating in schemes to obtain money from insurance companies.

Don’t miss our August General Meeting at Kent Ale House—from Zohran’s campaign to County Committee, it’s gonna be a big one. Link in bio to RSVP or register for Zoom.

cycling through my various signs to tap - I think the "we have an elite impunity problem in this country and nothing will get better unless and until we address it" seems like the one for this occasion

you’re telling me the trump administration was lenient toward someone accused of sex crimes against children? crazy

for a rare positive-ish note, I think House Dems are partially salvageable because using Epstein to derail literally every House committee until Johnson was forced to just give up and send members on recess was actually sort of meeting the moment for a bit. the Senate is giving us literally nothing

100,000% endorse this. If you're in NYC and you're tired and rundown from everything, I highly recommend in-person canvassing for Mamdani if you're able. Absolutely rejuvenated me in June. Human connection, baby. Feels great. Also, sometimes you get to pet some great dogs!

Hi, I'm Andrew Cuomo. I'm sorry I groped your mom and killed your grandma, but if you give me a fifteenth chance, I promise to throw you out of your apartment.

I’m very proud of this piece and so appreciative of the NYC DSA friends I have made while organizing against abusers and for the most vulnerable New Yorkers. Thank you @socialists.nyc

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...

You gotta love that while Cuomo is still focused on making sure that people who barely make the median income in NYC get kicked out of their apartments, repealing the "mansion tax" for people who bought a home between $1 million and $2.5 million is still on his stupid policy page.

Apparently helping crypto bros avoid accountability in a court of law for cash is a cause “near and dear” to Andrew Cuomo’s heart. It actually makes all the sense in the world. www.amny.com/news/cuomo-p...

Phantom Zone Yglesias, trapped there since 2011, struggles to escape a prison of mirrored glass upon which he can glimpse what Other Yglesias has become, and feels only horror

That weird combination of actually liking a politician and having hope about the future while also delighting in seeing another politician you despise eat shit is a feeling we all deserve, folks.

why do they all have to be Nazis couldn't there be a craven apparatchik with a stupid face who wants to destroy the government's capacity to collect and transmit objective economic data who rejects the tenets of national socialism

The best to ever do it

Blockbuster story in the @nydailynews.com this weekend. It illustrates many of the reasons we at New Kings Democrats have been fighting for a better Brooklyn Democratic Party and why that fight matters. It’s about Frank Seddio. But it’s about a lot more than him too. 1/🧵

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Hey @andrewcuomo: Is it true that you spoke to Donald Trump about clearing the right-wing lane for you? When? What did you promise him in return? New Yorkers deserve to know. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

"The portrait and the holiday decorations headline a list of some $175,000 in expenditures by Friends of Frank Seddio and the Kings County Democratic County Committee when Seddio was leading it that raise questions" via @nydailynews.com

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

Lmfao

The problem isn't that transphobic parents are being ignored, it's that they're *lying about basic facts.* This is the dynamic on nearly every issue of public interest, from guns to climate change to economics. "The bigots are lying again" is a fucking great message for democrats and it's true.
