Ok. Kimmel’s back. But let me be clear, that's not because principle won. It’s because profit and optics lined up. That’s why we can’t rely on corporate benevolence to defend our rights. Only working-class solidarity can do that.

There is still time to weigh in on the City's Downtown Revitalization Initiative appliance! communityfeedback.opengov.com/portals/itha...

I'm heartbroken by the tragic killing of Edward J. Warren, an Ithaca resident who lost his life Thursday night on Elmira Road. My deepest condolences go out to his loved ones.

Change condo building rules to help fill in housing's "missing middle" The current system makes it unnecessarily difficult to build condominiums outside of New York City. Some straightforward changes could boost middle-density homeownership. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: The time for progressive governance is now Let’s build a real partnership among New York’s progressive leaders – from the Hudson Valley to Harlem, from the Finger Lakes to Flatbush. @cityandstateny.bsky.social www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

Happy Fourth of July, Ithaca! 🇺🇸 Today we honor the promise of democracy—and remember it’s up to us to defend it. In the face of rising threats, let’s recommit to freedom, justice, and community for all. Stay safe and celebrate boldly.

You don’t have to agree with your mayor on everything. But it helps when he’s a hopeless policy nerd who thinks spreadsheets are fun and would literally rather be drafting legislation than doing almost anything else.

So grateful for my friend @delgadoforny.bsky.social's leadership and advocacy on behalf of New Yorkers. I am excited to see what the next chapter holds for him.

Just a friendly reminder that your elected leaders should prioritize sustainability, prosperity, affordability, and liveability, not popularity and likeability. Leave the world a better place than you found it.

I'm really touched to have been nominated and been awarded the Centennial Under 40 Impact Award from the National League of Cities. Serving my home is the greatest professional privilege of my life.

ITHACA, NY - At today’s rally on the commons, local leaders @rgc.bsky.social, Assemblywoman Anna Kelles and more called for action to stand up for democracy and support working class families. Reporting for @ithacatimes.bsky.social

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Major announcement today as @govkathyhochul.bsky.social announced major investments in Pro-Housing Communities across New York. Glad to have a partner in Albany who is committed to bringing affordability to the working people of our great State!

The federal administration has just announced its intention to freeze several trillion dollars of grant funding to recipients around the world. This dangerous and reckless decision will materially harm the American people, our economy, and US interests around the world.

At a time when New Yorkers need relief, @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social continues to demonstrate her commitment to working families & affordability. This plan to sustain increased AIM funding is a crucial element of keeping local governments operating & property taxes reasonable.

Hello Friends & Neighbors, I'm excited to announce the launch of my campaign to represent the First Ward on the Ithaca Common Council! Join us Thursday, 6 PM, at the Tompkins County Public Library to kick off our campaign for a more affordable & stable Ithaca! actionnetwork.org/events/jorge...

Another strong SotS from @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social ! Universal childcare, cost of living relief for working families, and - of course - building more housing. Ithaca stands ready to work hand in glove with the administration to deliver for all New Yorkers!

Thank you for your service to our community Kayla! We're going to get a lot done this year 💪

Rest in Peace President Carter. Thank you for your service and being a model citizen and statesman.

Happy Kwanzaa to those who celebrate!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating!

Welcome to the club Rochester! Congratulations 💪

Now I want to read a story about Tolkienesque Dwarves in the modern world.

In case anyone's wondering, there's at least one New York mayor with no interest in an inaugural invitation.

This is a huge win for New Yorkers. We have all felt the economic pressure of inflation and this will put the real money in the pockets of working families trying to get by. Thank you @GovKathyHochul!

How Syria changed in just 11 days.

التحرير السورية. الان السلام بالناس أن شاء الله!

Common Council dedicated $50,000 to fund a study into reparations for Black Ithacans. What could that look like?

I'm a man of my word. Great Cortaca game and congrats again to the Red Dragons on their victory. Looking forward to seeing you wear a Bombers jersey next year Mayor Steve!

Pay attention folks! We have odd-even parking tonight.

Explaining opportunity costs to my 5 year old as he tries to negotiate a second pre-bedtime activity.

Every job should pay enough that working full-time earns you enough for: - a place to live - nutritious food - healthcare - enjoying life - saving for the future

This is the coolest thing I've seen today.

After passing nation-leading #climatejustice spending policy in May, City of Ithaca (pop. 30K)meets & exceeds capital investment goals by investing in most marginalized communities. Press release 👇 @rgc.bsky.social @ducsonnguyen.com

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Good afternoon Ithaca. For what type of new housing are you most excited? Single Family? Infill? Condos? Duplexes? Apartments?

Let's do it now, but taller.

I'm so grateful our community has leaders like Rebecca who are pioneers for local climate adaptation and resilience.

Good morning Ithaca! I'll be using this profile as my primary microblogging social media account going forward.
