"Kirk's Alleged Shooter is a White Man From A Conservative Family. So, Not a Transgender Leftist Activist." Republicans owe the transgender community, & the rest of us, an apology for trying to incite their base to commit violence against "the left." thelefthook.substack.com/p/charlie-ki...

Congratulations on your new DEI program, Columbia! Who knew it would be a good idea to offer trainings to help folks understand the history of a persecuted people and learn to overcome their deeply rooted prejudices?? 🤣 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/n...

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

F*ck. Another antisemitic attack. 😢 www.denverpost.com/2025/06/01/b...

Pittsburgh is 🔥 www.dailymail.co.uk/real-estate/...

Without due process, we are all undocumented.

The wonderful Louise Mayo, telling it like it is. <3

Barney Oursler shares his experiences with Corey O’Connor and paid sick leave.

Why I'll be voting for Mayor Gainey this Tuesday. @GaineyForMayor.com

This article nails my reasons for supporting Mayor Ed Gainey for reelection. www.facebook.com/share/1BxGMB...

Barb Warwick: "I’m voting for Ed Gainey." "During Corey’s time on Council, playgrounds across my district sat broken, emails and phone calls went unanswered, and when issues arose with non-city agencies, his response was often that ... there was nothing he could do." 1/4

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

Let them eat cake.

He's voting for Mayor Gainey: "In public meetings, O’Connor seemed to stay in the back glad-handing folks, rarely speaking up and never solidly siding with the neighborhood. By contrast, Gainey walked our streets, listened and made terminating the MOC a campaign promise — that he fulfilled."

I worked on product development engineering projects for 30+ years. You need to do root cause analysis to solve problems thoroughly. Under Mayor Gainey, Pittsburgh has been doing that. One pilot project to improve worker safety also saved $10M! pittsburghquarterly.com/articles/see...

Let’s talk about Paid Sick Leave here in Pittsburgh. This act would not have been possible without the hundreds of workers, both union and non-union coming together to demand that everyone in Pittsburgh have the right to paid leave at work. No one person was responsible for it. It was all of us.

Another lying mailer supporting Corey O'Connor and attacking Mayor Ed Gainey's accomplishments. 1. Mailer with image of derelict house saying it's Gainey's legacy. 2. Photo of the restored house -- that restoration is The Ed Gainey Legacy.

I'm watching the Pittsburgh mayoral debate on WPXI. Corey O'Connor just said show me where the affordable units are that Gainey is claiming. Here you go! This interactive map lets you find the projects that include affordable units, either new or refurbished, with all sorts of details!

CommUnity. In 3 years we've made incredible progress building a Pittsburgh for all. We've invested in our children, delivered $600M for downtown, reduced gun violence by 44%, built/preserved more affordable housing than any administration in 20 years, and have the lowest unemployment rate in SWPA.

Pittsburgh Mayor Gainey releases statement amidst ongoing visa revocations of local university students to advocate for due process and calls for solidarity to support the impacted students at this time.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

I was at this protest last week, and I was so glad to see my mayor show up for health care rights! “as mayor, I'm going to use every tool at my disposal to pressure them and to assure the folks that at the end of the day, we want them to do what's right.”

The CMU College Democrats endorse Mayor Ed Gainey for re-election! Mayor Gainey increased the number of young people on boards and commissions by more than 400% to ensure that future leaders of Pittsburgh have seats at the table where decisions are made.

BINGO “I find it hard to believe that they’re acting out of care for Jewish students,” she said. “In the past year, I have felt that Jewish voices on this campus have been treated like a pawn in a political game.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/n...

WHO DID THIS!

Fascism R Us www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

This is legitimately bad for Pittsburgh which is one of the more successful regions at securing NIH research grants. ~$700million last year alone.

Getting the Kavanaugh treatment, I see. They completely failed to follow up on sexual misconduct complaints there, too. After all, why would you sully the reputation of a man on the word of some silly women?

The U.S. Education Department announced on Monday that it had canceled student loans for more than 150,000 borrowers, bringing the tally of Americans whose loans were forgiven under President Biden to over five million.

Musk believes in free speech, huh? 🤣

i think it is very cool that the political press was basically uninterested in the fact that vance is openly adjacent to/pals around with far-right and Nazi-sympathetic maniacs

It’s every bit as bad as we anticipated. www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/p...

Someone should check in with Tulsi. This must come as a terrible blow.
