NYC residents, please help us to demand that the City Council increase and stabilize public library funding. It takes 30 seconds to send a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/city... - we also need people to follow up with a phone call to your member.

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

You can support @nycplan.org in our campaign to increase and stabilize public library funding in NYC by sending a letter to your City Council member. It takes 30 seconds: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

Zohran Mamdani is going to implement Maria Law in NYC because the hills are alive with the sound of music.

My "radical" agenda? Make this city affordable, keep New York safe and turn the page on the billionaire-backed politics of Andrew Cuomo. New ad now running on Fox News.

Women started fandom. Women started fanfic. Women started star Trek cons. Women invented beer, and the novel, while we're at it. Stop trying to erase women from spaces, you stupid, lazy, misogynistic fucks.

👋 Hi Bluesky! We’re New York City Public Library Action Network (NYC PLAN) 📚 Our mission is to amplify, strengthen, and progress the futures of New York City’s three public library systems through community-led organizing, action, and increased funding. Learn more about us at nycplan.org

Every Wednesday we’re calling our city council members to demand a baseline of at least %.5 of the city budget be used to fund NYC libraries. Join us in calling! Here’s a script with instructions bit.ly/3KM9Eq9 , and you can look up your city council member here : council.nyc.gov/districts/

If you live in NYC and you would like to plug into public library organizing, you can join NYC Public Library Action Network @nycplan.org. Information is here: nycplan.org We're kicking off a City Council focused campaign this month so it's a good time to join in and do some work.

@birdietam.art Months ago you posted your corduroy seagull hat on here and I immediately knew my friend had to own it. Finally got to gift it to them a week ago and it was indeed very well received. Thank you for making good art!

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Any NYC library workers on here potentially available to join a panel organized by @nycplan.org happening tomorrow??? We'd need you from 1:30 to 3 pm. Holler at me if this is you or someone you know.

one factor in Mamdani's appeal is "what if I had an elected official who didn't hate my guts?"

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Can’t wait to never have to look at Andrew Cuomo’s face or hear his voice ever again.

Waiting for Zohran Mamdani to be announced as mayor, like a person dying of thirst waits for a glass of water. I love NYC so much and we deserve a mayor who will fight for working class and poor folks who are and have always been the backbone of this city and everything that has ever made it great.🙏

Henry Kissinger has endorsed Cuomo from hell.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

again, don't rank cuomo. just the shittiest, pettiest, laziest person.

The thing about Cuomo is that it doesn't even seem like he actually wants to be mayor of New York, y'know? He wants a job, he wants prestige, he wants a stepping stone, he wants power, he wants "redemption". But you don't get any sense that he has any actual interest in running the city.

If I was a New Yorker… #1: Brad Lander #2: Zohran Mamdani #3: Zellnor Myrie #4: Adrienne Adams #5: Michael Blake But most importantly, Andrew Cuomo would not be in my ballot. He shouldn’t be on yours either.

It’s important to know how your civic services are governed and funded and championed — and that’s (part of) what were discussing today!

there is no word intellectuals like better than “palimpsest.” They will use it on the barest of pretexts, no matter the theme they will find a way to say it. It is simply their favorite word

Women and girls are literally under attack and the narrative that men and boys are struggling in comparison to them is part of that attack. Their “struggle” as it’s so often harped on is that women and girls aren’t just bending the knee to them in all spheres of life
