I had the honor of meeting Alice a few times through my incredible friends in disability advocacy. She was kind and whip smart and fierce. Relentless in the best way. Heartbreaking.

We are showing up for the #RedCupRebellion because Starbucks still refuses to bargain a contract with their workers in good faith. Pittsburgh is a Union Town and we won’t back down ✊🏼 #NoContractNoCoffee

I was a campaign staffer on the 2021 mayoral and this entire election is the dream of those endeavors back then

I “Know Ball” and I’m telling you: this race is unfortunately not over. we need to move and act like we’re 10 points down!!! I feel like… kind of good but also VERY BAD AND SCARED. Knock doors! Talk to your friends about their early vote plans!!!

Democrats have run Pennsylvania's supreme court since 2015, a streak that has proved consequential; the court has struck down a GOP gerrymander, upheld a state law allowing mail-in voting, and rejected Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his loss in 2020.

unironically would really prefer to live in barbieland where we all have jobs and healthcare and run the supreme court and also there are dance parties

If you click the power button on your iPhone 5 times in succession it also turns off Face ID

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting. Last night, we were uplifted to see a new sign adorning the Pittsburgh skyline...

I have absolutely no trouble believing the swifties are clean on OPSEC.

also signal, bc the political swiftie group chats have better opsec than the us military

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

*rubs eyes* this can’t be real

let your drop-outs be your cop-outs at the table of failure

"Democrats need to stop sounding 'like you’ve been put through 17 rounds of approvals with consultants who haven’t knocked a door in 20 years,' strategist April Glick Pulito told me." Great piece from @michaelkruse.bsky.social + I don't just say that bc I'm in it (also more baseball candidates plz)

Ain’t no Labor Day like a Pittsburgh Labor Day. Solidarity forever ✊🏼

the Mamdani campaign is successful because it’s the first lefty campaign in fucking years that makes people heard. LISTENING IS THE SKILL AND THE JUICE

Dems have spent too many cycles parachuting college kids into swing communities, ignoring the kids’ feedback, and burning them out into cynical husks. fund year round organizing, fund deep canvassing, take feedback and follow the message because it is THERE and it’s NOT ABANDONING OUR COMMUNITIES

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.

there are recession indicators all around for those with eyes to see

I need you to understand how deadly serious I am when I say that I am currently in Taylor Swift groupchats that have better infosec than this administration's group chats.

Gonna hold everyone’s hand when I say this. It’s not just a distraction. It’s both. All of it is maximalism. It’s flooding the zone. He is a fascist AND a pedophile. It’s both.

This is what’s possible when you listen instead of lecture and run a campaign focused on working people.

No justice. No peace. No ICE in these streets. Pittsburgh will always protect our neighbors and fight fascism ✊🏼

do you know what fictional character that I wish is real would be having a hell of a night right now her

Judge: And so given all those factual findings, I'm going to exercise the discretion I have to ORDER THE RELEASE of Mahmoud Khalil

A reporter from The City had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/17/b...

One of the 3 leading contenders to be the next Mayor of New York City was just arrested… for asking a question. This is what a fascist, authoritarian regime looks like. Stand up. Fight back.

Today, in Pittsburgh and across this country, we came together to join hands for the #NoKings protest and stand in solidarity with everyone who wants freedom for all. No to ICE. No to Kings. No to bigots. The people demand a just, free, and equal America. It’s time to stand up.

Pittsburgh is a City of Solidarity — we will never accept a King, the terror of ICE, or bigotry of any kind. We will continue to rise up and fight for our communities, fight for our neighbors, and fight for a future built on justice and liberation for all ✊🏼 #NoKings

NO KINGS IN PITTSBURGH 🚫👑

How is it possible that Andrew Cuomo is somehow all the worst traits of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden rolled into one person

Thank you @32bjseiu.bsky.social , @seiuhcpa.org, @seiu.org for organizing today’s rally in support of David Huerta and an end to the terror being caused by ICE. If you want to help fight back locally, sign up to volunteer with Casa San José here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

From Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, we demand an end to ICE raids and to free David Huerta! Don’t ignore what’s happening. There is no reason why we should be sicking ICE on ANYBODY. We don’t stand with terror, we stand in solidarity to build a nation that is free for all!

No way lmao

CommUnity. Thank you to Jamie Younger, Vernard Alexander, and Young Brothers Bar for hosting an incredible City of Pittsburgh Employee Appreciation Day. Our workers are dedicated to serving the people of Pittsburgh, and I’m grateful for them every single day. We

In my first term we’ve made incredible progress building a Pittsburgh for all! Together, we’ve reduced gun violence by 45%, delivered 1600 affordable housing units, and made historic investments in our youth — and I’m just getting started. Read More: www.cityandstatepa.com/politics/202...

After decades of neglect, our collaboration between the City, Rising Tide Partners, Homewood Community Development Collaborative, and the Land Bank is transforming 93 blighted properties into housing Together we are turning these properties into units of prosperity for the people who will live here

Thank you to everyone who’s out knocking doors to get out the vote for Tuesday’s primary! Together we are reducing gun violence, delivering affordable housing, and investing in opportunities for our children to thrive. This is what it looks like to build a city for all! Let’s get it done!

I am proud to share the endorsement of @everytown.bsky.social for Gun Safety Action Fund for my re-election campaign. This is a testament to the incredible progress we have made to reduce gun violence by 45% through increased investments in citywide violence prevention. Let's go get it!

Together, we are building a Pittsburgh for all, but I need 4 more years to finish the job! In my first term, we delivered 1600 affordable housing units, decreased homicides by 33%, and are standing up to defend our residents against Trump’s attacks on our progress in Pittsburgh. Let's get it done!

I'm voting to re-elect Mayor Ed Gainey for a _lot_ of reasons -- lower crime, more affordable housing, etc! One of them is because he's willing to make hard decisions, and not kick the can down the road the way the former mayor and City Council did. @gaineyformayor.com

Tuesday, make sure you vote to reelect @gaineyformayor.com of Pittburgh.

CommUnity Good Morning 🌞 I want to thank the New Pittsburgh Courier for their endorsement of my campaign. “Get out and vote for the man who's always accessible, who cares about us like no other, and whose drive is relentless.” Let’s go get it!

Thank you to everyone who joined me in support of my re-election campaign last night. Together we are building a Pittsburgh for All, but in order to continue our progress we need to win on Election Day. Join us in these final days to get out the vote: Go.GaineyForMayor.com/GOTV
