We’re going to look with a fresh pair of eyes at city government — and what powers we have to deliver for New Yorkers. And that’s one of many reasons I’m excited to have Lina as one of our transition’s Co-chairs.

Gavin Newsom is jumping on the affordability bandwagon. Only one problem: He hasn’t made it any cheaper to live in California

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to: 1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies 2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Quite a headline.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

*cut to campaign logo* "I'm [insert name here], Democrat for Congress, and I approve this message."

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

Quite literally the opposite of a windshield view taking power at City Hall. Finally.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

You can't make this up.

I’m crying www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

Turns out the man who had concepts of a healthcare plan never came up with a good one.

so many people tweeting "how are 40 million Americans on food stamps" the supplemental poverty rate is ~12% and there are ~350 million people here, do the math why does nobody google even the most basic facts about reality man

People should also remember that SNAP is mostly a transfer to nonworkers—children, retirees, the unemployed, people with disabilities, etc—higher wages alone will not solve food insecurity in this country!

At least 50% of the ballroom should be Affordable

This is what LA politicians would rather be doing instead of building housing near transit. Just a disgraceful failure of leadership.

They’re now explicitly taking the position that state & local elected officials are committing crimes when they attempt to protect their communities from the ICE secret police.

It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco! I’ll fight for our city – against Trump’s takeover, for our values, & for real progress. I’ve delivered on housing, healthcare, clean energy, & civil rights – & I’ll do it again. Let’s build the future our city & country deserve.

1/ The president has a revenge committee*,and its name is, amazingly, “The Interagency Weaponization Working Group.” *small group?

What a self-report. Editor at the NYT admits to reading the world through the lense of his X feed, which makes sense of so much that comes from the NYT and other legacy media outlets (where I assume this is also a problem).

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent. I love kids but I can barely afford my pets. Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

Scott Wiener is done waiting on Nancy Pelosi. He’s running in 2026, sources say San Francisco’s state senator previously said he would wait for Pelosi to retire from Congress, but polling and a progressive challenger changed the game. sfstandard.com/2025/10/16/s...

TIL: markets don’t work – only price controls work.

NJ Transit is advancing plans to develop land next to transit hubs, potentially 8,000 acres, with a goal of raising up to $1.9 billion for the agency. The program is called "Leveraging Assets for Non-farebox Dollars" or LAND. Gov. Murphy has been promising this for a while. Very good news, imho.

Anyways, this passed! In a purple city in a county that Trump won in 2024, they will enforce laws requiring ICE agents to unmask.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

Today a neighbor who street-parks his blacked-out F150 told me that parking tickets are a poor tax. Guy driving a $60,000 vehicle thinks that the poor are more likely to drive in this city than the rich 🙄

Just saw six SFPD officers respond to a single homeless person. Seems a bit excessive.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson calls Sunday's naked bike ride in protest of the Portland ICE facility and and Trump troop deployment "the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet" www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

groyper occupied government

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Remember Prop 36? Which promised to "help everyone come indoors" through longer prison sentences and drug treatments? Guess how many people completed the drug treatment in the first 6 months! Did you guess... 25? calmatters.org/justice/2025...

Just the most stunning open corruption imaginable.

Fuck the New York Post

This video is AI.

An inspired article. The Guardian understands how to highlight hypocrisy.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
