I don’t want to hear any more media reports about the strait or gasoline prices until we get an answer to why we bombed that girls’ school

It’s unreal how bad NYC condo vs. house property tax disparity is. $2.15 million house in Bed-Stuy, taxes are $490/mo.: streeteasy.com/sale/1811884... $1.16 million 2BR/2BA condo in FiDi, taxes are $2,099/mo.: streeteasy.com/sale/1811603...

Lee Jae Myung gets it

Liz Krueger gets it. If we had invested in renewables and electrification as required by the CLCPA we wouldn’t be so dependent on expensive and volatile fossil fuels

A way better use of your money than donating a congressional candidate *and* we wont text you incessantly after!

Some NYC problems are difficult; this one is simple. The city’s EMS workers are horribly underpaid, leading to high turnover and increased response time on ambulances. @mayor.nyc.gov needs to include a raise for these heroes in the budget.

WOKE POPE

He’s doing an excellent job highlighting an issue that most politicians try to avoid, how inequitable our property tax system is

On the plus side, we all learned a lot about inertia

They renamed it the department of war, it was only a matter of time before they started a war

Big year for hockey

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

It was possible to see this coming - and any politician who voted for it either did or should have

Batteries. Batteries, batteries, batteries. Furthermore, batteries. In conclusion: batteries!

Suozzi is awful, but also isn't Hakeem Jeffries' entire job to dispatch a little man with a baseball bat to wavering members of his caucus to explain to to them that the vote is a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE

Love for the grid to rely on a fuel that does this every time it gets cold:

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

Today I'm remembering Philando Castile, shot in 2016 by police in the Minneapolis suburbs after being pulled over for a broken brake light. "Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me," he said. Ten seconds later one of the cops had shot him five times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

ICE OUT of USA

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Might be good and another way for Democrats to point out how weak Trump is by constantly asking 'Who is the actual president right now? Stephen Miller? Russ Vought? Because it sure isn't Donald Trump."

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say

Maybe it’s because I recently watched Oh, Mary! but the former confederate states sending troops to DC does not sit well with me

Negative anecdotal economic indicator alert: I got an email from my alumni finance club stating that many summer finance interns did not get return offers, and asking for assistance to place these students. I’m sure they’ll be fine, but it’s not a good sign for the job market…

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...

Electricity bill crisis in NYC - “In the past five years, more than 40% of New Yorkers have fallen into arrears, and 23% of households were disconnected at least once” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“What those woke Quakers seem to forget is that we live in a free country. If I can no longer decapitate whales to harvest their cranial fluid for candlewax, then democracy is dead.”

20yo Purdue student from Korea with valid visa, detained by ICE at visa renewal hearing then transfered to Louisiana, released after protests. “It’s not [just] Soo in this situation,” Rev. Kim, her mother, said. “There are more, maybe, those in need of support.” pix11.com/news/local-n...

Wish more US journalists shared this spirit.

= chaos for planners. With 4 GW of OWF cancellations + delayed transmission planning, DPS and NYISO must reassess short- to mid-term adequacy risks. NYISO’s 2024 Reliability Needs Assessment flagged downstate shortages as early as 2026–2027. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Interior issues new memo in response to anti-wind/solar Executive Order that requires any of 69 types of decisions/actions to go to the Office of the Secretary. This is the way you stall and kill projects. Intentionally red-tape projects to death.

The Israel-Iran war was mostly a political distraction in Israel and the U.S., but it’s been devastating for Iran’s 4-6 million Afghans, the world’s largest refugee population. More than half a million have been deported just since the war, scapegoated as being Israeli collaborators. Gift link:

Via Tom Donlon, former NYPD commissioner: “A coordinated criminal conspiracy has taken root at the highest levels of City government…This enterprise - the NYPD - was criminal to its core.” Note that this is a different lawsuit from the one filed last week! bsky.app/profile/noah...

This is so strange for a meeting about business in NYC. “The topic of Israel was a focal point for several of the business leaders…Albert Bourla, the chief executive of Pfizer, pushed Mr. Mamdani about the meaning of genocide and defended Israel’s war in Gaza” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/b...

Exciting changes coming to Montague St in Brooklyn! Will “calm traffic, improve visibility and safety for vehicles and pedestrians, better manage commercial loading and delivery needs, and expand and improve public space for pedestrians and cyclists” per the BHA. Hurrah! www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t pretending to try. There isn’t even the veneer of law.

In April, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility that held Ethiopian migrants in Yemen, crushing bodies and shredding limbs. Few answers have emerged, and the U.S. has not claimed responsibility. Amid official silence, the survivors are left wondering why.

Grok blaming “Jewish executives” for pervasive propaganda in Hollywood. Yikes. Did an antisemite train that model? Who owns that website anyway?
