Today I'm so honored to earn the endorsement of @drichardsqns.bsky.social, who fights for the world's borough every day. We recently rode the Q4 in Jamaica, one of the five bus lines made free in our fare free bus pilot. Ridership jumped 30%, and everyone's commute got a little bit easier.

Here's the press release: 19 new stations with connections to 17 subway lines and a runtime of 32 minutes across 14 miles. This truly is a game-changer. No word on estimated completion date. We are probably looking at 2032ish. www.governor.ny.gov/news/governo...

For Eric Adams, the law is simply a suggestion—especially when it comes to funding his campaigns. Thankfully Donald Trump can't bail him out of this one. From the CFB meeting earlier today:

Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through. An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, Bernie Sanders.

After mismanaging the MTA for 10+ years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo would now like to mismanage it as Mayor.

Good morning! On today's show: - @susankang.bsky.social on DSA & the mayoral election - @ayeletsheffey.bsky.social on coming student loan changes - @nj.com's Tom Martello on the NJ gov race - @amnh.org astrophysicist Jackie Faherty on meteor showers Listen now, 93.9FM, AM820 & wnyc.org

Susan Kang offers analysis of how the Democratic Socialists of America's New York chapter figured into Zohran Mamdani's win in the Democratic mayoral primary and how DSA will be involved in the general election. www.wnyc.org/story/the-ds...

Can someone make a "Middle aged women who still look good for Zohran" shirt for me?

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is the greatest comedic genius of our time

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

We had a great version of this discussion for an hour with @atgenevieve.bsky.social and a solid conclusion at the end - the answer is not individual feelings-based interventions! It's a class war to win open.spotify.com/episode/5Sor...

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

As of January 2025, the Cambridge University Press journal @globcon.bsky.social (Global Constitutionalism) will be based at the University of Edinburgh, supported by a fruitful partnership between University of Edinburgh Law School & University of Edinburgh, School of Social and Political Science.

New Yorkers with children under six are leaving at double the rate of all others. The investment we make in universal, no cost childcare will make this city stronger, healthier and more prosperous for all.

New York City is under its first drought warning in decades — and these kids from 1980 have some good advice.

Really wonder why Elon felt so compelled to buy the White House—other than driving more federal contracts to himself and his billionaire buddies. Could there have been another catalyst for him and Bezos to do what they did? 🧐 #UnionsForAll

just found out who won AL Rookie of the Year

What this place needs is A LOT more dunking on F*******n

had a great time in Sunset Park supporting the incredible Alexa Avilés’ re-election kickoff!

finally milf messenger has fallen

Just did this for Garfield. Bluesky now a good place

cool to know that that was on the table apparently

one of the most persistent myths in punditry is that you can pull a coherent rationale out of the american voter. swing voters are, by and large, doing a surface level assessment of their current situation and giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

New York Governor Kathy Hochul should stand up to Trump, not collaborate. ✅create programs ✅pass laws ✅set regulations Do what her constituents need, not fear the Fox News crowd.

the big bad wolf, writing for the Atlantic: building brick houses might be popular with insular academics afraid of intellectual debate, but in practice they are a stifling barrier to free speech

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

It’s worth emphasizing that even bad websites for public services are the result of privatization. NY State has almost no full time tech staff to work on UI. CUNY spent $600 million (!!) on a custom software system from Oracle that everyone hated pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny...

I don't care how MLB votes. This is my MVP. #Mets

For everyone missing the #Mets right now…

NEWS: Early this morning, our campaign surpassed $250,000 raised since we launched three weeks ago — making it the fastest to reach that milestone of any mayoral campaign this year. ✅ 2,465 unique donors ✅ 1,805 NYC donors (73%) ✅ $180,702 from NYC residents

someone tell me who are the Mets people to follow on bluesky

Eric Adams Is Playing a Dangerous Game With Migrants by CWK member @susankang.bsky.social jacobin.com/2023/09/eric...

Beautiful @nycdsa.bsky.social members at the budget justice rally today, City Hall

OK now I am a bluesky person

A lot of ppl addicted to talking about how nothing good is possible - cheers to @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social for interviewing cool ppl like @susankang.bsky.social Lizzie & Brandon about how we actually won a Green New Deal in New York & why you can in your state too hammerandhope.org/article/clim...

Everyone at the Brooklyn Cyclones game just booed ConEd when they were announced as a sponsor. Greatest city in da world

2023 me is going to mope more frequently

Not my kids walking to the sprayers by the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows park and seeing this. Thanks for nothing, Eric Adams!

2003: (buying reusable water bottle) I’m lowering my carbon footprint through my individualized consumption 2023: (meditating in sun) Im building my body’s tolerance to heat through my individualized suffering 2043: (walking up volcano) the rains will reappear through my individualized sacrifice

when all the mattel cinematic universe movies flop really hard it's going to make me feral when executives blame audiences and not the people who badly misunderstood the appeal of an indie director-driven, mildly camp spectacle and thought america was instead clamoring for a polly pocket vehicle

Is Maine… nationalizing the power industry?

Sad but true: the only thing my 10 year old finds impressive about me is that I can do an OK (to his ears) English accent. Curious? Check out Left on Red's "Your best British accent" with @stylianosk.bsky.social and BS free Jonathan Havercroft https://www.spreaker.com/user/14957478/lor-ep-38

day 69 of the writers strike. nice. (say it back)

Thanks mom and dad for having the 7 o'clock news on, where they featured the Long Island shark sightings, and thus my younger, braver child announced "We're not going to the beach for a long time" (I hope this means for a week or two) 🦈🦈🙄🙄

Fighting with my MSNBC loving parents about the value of unions. I pointed out that my mom gets a guaranteed payout from her time working at a hospital in the NYC metro for a few years back in 1986-1988, and she was like "well that's not the union!" Ah the '80s, where employers just gave pensions!
