BREAKING: Hochul just did Trumpâs bidding by approving the massive Williams fracked gas pipeline. Hochulâs dirty deal with Trump will jack up our utility bills, pollute our air & water, and cook the climate. Join us at 3:30 outside her office 919 3rd Avenue to protest TODAY.

Funny how Bloomberg flushed 13+ million dollars down the toilet to make NYC worse at the same time his Bloomberg Philanthropies and spinoffs like C40 Cities purport to know whatâs best for cities.

Cuomo Backers Burned $65 Per Vote, Including $13.3 Million From Bloomberg
A blizzard of outside spending on ads, including a spot that linked Zohran Mamdani to 9/11, failed to move voters and may have even backfired.

Cuomo says Mamdani canât fulfill his promises and heâs still fear-mongering about the dangerous road we are heading down. Pretending he didnât run one of the most racist, divisive campaigns ever. What a sore LOSER.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

This is sadly standard operating procedure. The Federal prison where I was held (for nvcd) has a butcher OB/GYN overseeing âhealth dept.â who routinely harms women internally and withholds medication. Women are locked in 120 degree basement as mass punishment. Etc.

Fav moment in Zohran meet & greet with New Yorkers on the street (via @laydayallday on insta) is that he is extremely observant and attuned to the needs of others like when he notices his crowd is blocking an accessibility ramp and helps clears a path for this lady. How lovely, truly.
