Today’s activist politicians could learn a lot from the unforgettable Bella Abzug. My latest in @nymag.com

From the 'good night and good luck' to including laid-off veteran war correspondent Debora Patta twice in the highlight reel, this is a giant middle finger to the new management. And deservedly so.

NYCPS Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos discusses the benefits of paid, yearlong apprenticeships for aspiring teachers with @errollouis.bsky.social @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social — an idea championed by #BankStreet president Shael Polakow-Suransky in his @nydailynews.com op-ed ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

All across the walls of City Hall, you'll see portraits of Black women who made our city and nation a better place. As the first Black speaker, their stories hold a special place in my heart, and I spoke with Errol Louis about the importance of lifting up our shared history.

Hearing about the historic legacy of the progressive political powerhouse #BellaAbzug on @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social show was what the world needs right. @errollouis.bsky.social thank for reporting about Mount Vernon, NY’s unique place in Rep. Abzug’s and Dr. Betty Shabazz’s life.

turns out it’s hard to have a real job

The Manhattan Institute's City Journal today published a piece anchored in a favorite chestnut of both the landlord lobby and the leftists no-development types: That ~50,000 rent stabilized apartments are sitting empty. Except, that's not true. www.ibo.nyc.ny.us/iboreports/m...

Hey! We’re at it again. This year, we’re telling the story of Bella Abzug: native New Yorker, civil rights lawyer, peace activist, women’s rights champion, and U.S. congresswoman. Happy Holidays! @errollouis.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

For my final interview with Errol Louis as Speaker, we sat down inside City Hall to discuss what our historic women-majority New York City Council has delivered for New Yorkers, advice for the incoming Mayor and Speaker, and much more. 📺 Tune in tonight to Spectrum News NY1 at 7:15 PM!

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

"New York taxpayers shelled out another $1.3 million since late May to defend former Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state police from a sexual discrimination case" Total for all cases now stands at $21 million -- www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/15/t...

Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

The City Council has only a few days left to finally break down the wall of secrecy that enables New York’s co-op boards to discriminate against would-be buyers with impunity. They must not skip over a problem that should have been solved decades ago. My latest in @nymag.com

NYC City Council, and specifically @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social Speaker Adrienne Adams by allowing a vote, has something they can fix in long term NYC housing discrimination this week. @errollouis.bsky.social in @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

"Experts theorized 'Canto' was an example of the disconnect between media elites and consumers." Sounds about right.

It’s 2025 and children of color are still having the same experience. Even worse, they have to fear being picked up and separated from their parents.

To be clear, billions of our tax dollars are going to bailout the same farmers who overwhelmingly voted to harm themselves and their own livelihoods.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

"From birth to 3 years old is a time when young children's brains are developing the fastest.”—#BankStreet President @shaelsuransky.bsky.social discusses mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's #ECE proposals to help support #NewYorkCity's youngest learners @errollouis.bsky.social @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social

Great to stop by Keepers of the City, hosted by NY1’s own @errollouis.bsky.social who was portrayed on SNL recently, a true New York milestone. This annual award presented in partnership with @dc37nyc.bsky.social and Straus Media—honors the New Yorkers who keep our city running day in and day out.

From the @wsj.com chief foreign correspondent

“Tax lawyers and accountants said that an audit was almost guaranteed for any former New Yorker who made more than $1 million in a year in which they claim to have moved. At $10 million, the odds are 100 percent, they said.”

😡The always reactionary Archdiocese of Boston has condemned a local church's Nativity scene showing a sign that reads "ICE was here” in place of where Mary, Joseph & baby Jesus should be. Apparently the prelates think it's bad for a church to side with the frightened migrants who fill their parish.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

#BankStreet President @shaelsuransky.bsky.social, GSE '00, discusses how #NewYorkCity mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani can address challenges facing the nation’s largest public school system through yearlong paid teacher residencies @errollouis.bsky.social @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

Thank you, Errol Louis and New York Magazine for including Citymeals among your list of nonprofits to support on #GivingTuesday! 💙 https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/giving-tuesday-2025-12-nyc-charities-worth-supporting.html#GivingTuesday

Errol Louis highlights 12 New York City charities that work tirelessly to help New Yorkers and where even a small donation this Giving Tuesday can make a difference.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

“The center issued a report after studying 6,669 public social media posts about Mamdani in a 17-day window during the campaign and found that just under 2,000 of the, “frame Islam itself, not any policy detail, as a public threat.” Thank you @errollouis.bsky.social for writing this piece.

These are the charities I'm donating money to this year. Chip in if you can!

Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..” @adamwren.bsky.social #redistrict dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

Mamdani Won, But Our Battle Against Islamophobia Isn't Over by @errollouis.bsky.social via @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

Zohran Mamdani won, but the impact of the hate speech used against him in this year’s mayoral campaign will linger and could lead to real-world harm, writes Errol Louis.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

Oh my. When you've lost the Babylon Bee …

“A tally by Reuters reveals the scale: At least 470 people, organizations and institutions have been targeted for retribution since Trump took office – an average of more than one a day. Some were singled out for punishment; others swept up in broader purges” — www.reuters.com/investigates...
