<NY Post for the next 2 months> Mayor Commdani, who 1,019,870 real New Yorkers voted against, is to blame for _______.

Looks like a terrible night for unlikable billionaires and/or sex offenders!!! Here's a thread of what today's election across the country means for housing. (1)

My politics are the joy of solidarity around Marathon Sunday.

Really great to see Sandy Nurse, her City Council colleagues, and the Court address the futility doctrine and other loopholes that promote illegal lockouts.

This is the deciding factor for when I’m voting

Is there a website where I can put bets on Eric Adams & Andrew Cuomo leaving the city again before the end of 2026?

It is that time of year where New Yorkers find out that more of our neighbors are students who are homeless. This year tally comes out to 154,000 or nearly 1 in 7 students. There are more homeless students in NYC than total students in Philly, Denver, or San Diego. www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/20/1...

Thinking about what lead to a 2017 graduation cap with Mickey Mouse ears being put into my trash can during a nor’easter.

Today’s unwanted text is from Eric Adams PAC. I would love to know how he’s corrected course.

I need people to understand: 1. Every US state already evicts more people annually than all of the EU combined 2. In most states, having a disability, health emergency, or a financial hardship is not a defense to an eviction suit 3. In most states, there is no right to counsel in eviction cases

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps. A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:

Research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows that federal government's sweep of homelessness in DC & other cities is a fool's errand. Criminalization & forced relocation: —Are an ineffective deterrent —Disrupt resources access —Prolong homelessness —Cost a lot of $ What solves homelessness? Housing.

Here are 10 reasons why Andrew Cuomo's rent stabilization plan is an incredibly stupid political stunt that makes no sense as public policy and would cause immense harm if ever enacted.

“People who need it”, I’ve got friends who have moved to Jersey City because everything that isn’t stabilized in the city and is within like five express stops of Manhattan is now like $4k/m. Everyone needs more housing and now. What an unserious conversation.

-Cut Medicaid & SNAP -Push to cut rental assistance -Push states & cities to criminalize and forcibly institutionalize homeless (which don’t have resources other than police and jails primarily) = absolute nightmare

Most of the ideas mentioned in this article—higher minimum wage, free tuition at public colleges, higher taxes on the rich—are not only popular now but were realities in the past, including in NYC, during the booming postwar years, when America was “great.”/1 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...

Excuse me while I spend the next hour looking at vote totals on this map. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/24/m...

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Heath Ledger, Elliott Smith, The Notorious B.I.G., Michael Jackson, and Ed Koch all lived in New York City more recently than Cuomo.

When can I go vote for Brad Landers? So refreshing to see someone put their values over their ego or ambition.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Five months is a long time for the Bill Ackmans, Larry Summers, AIPAC, Trumps, and Rupert Murdochs of the world to distort and deceive. Primary elections are not the finish line.

Excellent news for the NYC left: There were 10 city council members of the Progressive Caucus who faced primary challengers today, some of them very ideologically polarized primaries. All 10 incumbents are leading *by a lot.*

Thank you to everyone doing GOTV to make sure NYC is led by a competent leader without a history of sexual harassment and corruption!

I don’t like to swear. And I have many friends at the New York Times, who I love. But with all my heart: fuck the @nytimes.com editorial board for their idiotic, tortured, uniformed, fear-mongering, mealy-mouthed, bullshit mayor’s race op-ed. First, let’s talk politics. What’s it doing? (1/5)

In honor of today’s clueless editorial by The NY Times Board.

And here’s what she said weeks ago to me:

since Cuomo is painting himself as the candidate who "knows how to get things done, let's take a trip down memory lane and look at 50 of his most notable "accomplishments," big and small..... nygroove.nyc/a-list-of-50...

NEW: The biggest single donor in the mayoral race is now the New York Apartment Association, which wants to make sure Cuomo defeats Mamdani. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳 To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

Homicide rates: NY 4.5, FL 7.2 Life expectancy: NY 79, FL 76.1 Uninsured rate: NY 4.8, FL 10.7

Great stuff that cuts through the simplistic “courts won’t save us”/“yay rule of law” discourse. Legal resistance to injustice is essential, but won’t be effective without the democratic power of a political movement behind it—and it should be used to build movement power.

🚨INVESTIGATION: Donors from a real estate/tech giant facing rent-gouging lawsuits funneled campaign cash to GOP lawmakers. GOP lawmakers then slipped a line into their new tax bill that would block regulators from cracking down on the company. www.levernews.com/republicans-...

A new report finds the bottom 60% of U.S. households—or *two-thirds* of the population—can't afford a “minimal quality of life": housing, health care, and other necessities. "Indicators like GDP and unemployment tell us the economy is thriving. But they don’t reflect the reality of most Americans."

SCOOP: A DOGE operative has been tasked with using AI to propose rewrites to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s regulations—an effort sources are told will roll out across government. @davidgilbert.bsky.social @wired.com www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Secretary Scott Turner promises he is "protecting American suburbs and neighborhood integrity." That segregationist language takes us right back to 1920s racial and economic zoning. The desire to preserve segregation is the key reason we don't have affordable housing.

Happy May Day!

Russel Vought wants to cut housing subsidies as it causes "dependency" as he sleeps in a $1.1 million four-bedroom home paid for by his tax payer funded salary and billionaires who subsidized his do-nothing non-profit. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

Just a reminder on this #TaxDay only 1 in 4 eligible people receive housing assistance. The federal housing budget is 1% of federal spending and is dwarfed by housing subsidies and tax credits to the wealthy.

Tariffs are cost shocks. Last time around, across the board cost shocks coordinated price hikes and triggered sellers' inflation (see paper below). Get ready for the next inflation bout! This time courtesy of MAGA. peri.umass.edu/wp-content/u...

Instead of investing in housing or addressing record homelessness, Sec. Turner is helping terrorize immigrant communities while spreading misinformation about his own agency’s programs.

Hot off the presses! NY Court of Appeals overturns Burrows & hopefully ends the Regina's footnote 7 debate when it comes to rent overcharges & the fraud exception to the statue of limitations. Great news to all the people who unfortunately understand I just said. www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/Decis...

With how #kubball has been playing this might be the bracket I’m most emotionally invested in.

Proud to stand with Ms. Henderson in her fight to keep her rent-controlled home of 32 years. Family isn’t just legal paperwork. Landlords exploit loopholes to erase affordability & displace tenants. Glad to co-counsel with @lamort.bsky.social. Thanks to @gothamist.com for the great reporting.

The US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) focuses on preventing & ending homelessness. Dissolving it (and devastating cuts to HUD, SAMHSA etc) will hamper efforts to address homelessness—as the these policies dramatically worsen an existing catastrophe. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Chris Bergquist worked in HUD’s Fair Housing office. One of his first cases: a disabled woman who couldn’t shower because her landlord refused to make her unit wheelchair accessible. His team forced compliance. Now he’s been fired in Trump’s purge—as Fair Housing staff face 76.5% cuts nationwide.
