*reading dmesg* me: why is this critical process no longer running? my server: that's oom 😭😭😭😭

When the moon sings your doom Like "In Paradisum" That's a Fauré!

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

*youth pastor voice* Hey kids, let me tell you about another creator who also streamed from afar....

let's take a moment to appreciate what this goofy city council mailer is really saying: we can't get transit upgrades, parks, school upgrades etc unless a condo developer is involved.

Love to have an early voting electorate bigger than the population of Denver (h/t @ldpreload.com)

It's true! Many DSA members and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social supporters *also* support questions 2-4! At the 41-minute mark in this segment, you can hear me and @aschierenbeck.bsky.social on the Brian Lehrer show on @wnyc.org discussing why these are pro-labor proposals: www.wnyc.org/story/the-ho...

You couldn't ask for a better endorsement of Ballot Props 2-5 than Sliwa going on an unhinged rant about them. Is Adrienne Adams still sure she wants to hitch her wagon to that sinking ship?

You can only upzone one region of NYC for the rest of your life. Which one are you choosing?

New York City calls itself a refuge for queer and trans Americans, but that promise is at risk if we don't take on the housing crisis head on. Read my op-ed about the need to build more housing to reduce rents, in this case, via the OneLIC project: gaycitynews.com/new-york-rem...

Apparently London has both a “Mayor of London” (does normal mayor stuff) and a “Lord Mayor of London” (does civic events in costumes) and like, not to hand it to England, but I think I’ve figured out what we can do with Eric Adams

A zine is like a magazine, but without the MAGA.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

Too long have I had to live among the enemies of peace. I am on the side of peace, but when I speak of it, they are for war.

When Trump's attacked our city, I’ve fought back and won. With Brooklyn families being priced out of our homes & neighborhoods, I know we've got more work to do. This is my community. I’m in this fight for you. VOTE BY TUESDAY. Confirm your poll site: FindMyPollSite.Vote.NYC

This is the primary reason I’m a YIMBY and want to see more housing (of all kinds) in California.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

We need a Democratic Party that fights before we can have a liberalism that builds. If we don’t get one, it’s easy to imagine rightists co-opting “abundance,” like they once co-opted “freedom,” to drag us back to the Lochner era. www.offmessage.net/p/abundance-...

Interesting that I’m not seeing any reports of the “He’s An Asshole But The City Needs An Asshole To Stand Up To Trump” mayoral candidate doing any standing up to Trump re: the unjustified arrest of the sitting Comptroller

"So far as I know he has no lawyer... the other gentleman who I walked out with, whose native language is Yoruba, and who only got a translator in French... I will be fine, but Edgardo is not going to be fine, and the rule of law is not fine, and our constitutional democracy is not fine."

Comptroller Brad Lander was just wrongfully arrested by ICE for standing up for an immigrant also wrongfully detained. This is fascism—plain and simple. Enabled by a spineless Mayor and a lawless President. I’m on my way to immigration court. Release Brad now. Release them all.

The arrest of @nyccomptroller.bsky.social and continued attacks on New Yorkers by ICE are unacceptable and an abuse of power. Comptroller Lander should be released and ICE should stop undermining public safety in our city by targeting New Yorkers going about their lives.

Impromptu presser outside 26 Federal Plaza as elected officials gather, calling for Lander's release.

Here's shortly video of his detention, full video coming.

Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

Mayor Adams' plan is unwarranted, illegal, and reckless. Protected bike lanes make streets safer for everyone, reducing speeding, crashes, and the number of people killed or seriously injured by 29% for all pedestrians and 39% for senior pedestrians.

YES @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: "The answer to the housing crisis is not more vacancies... To me, it is building more housing, such that we keep people in their home, have a rapid expansion of housing production that is BOTH private-sector AND public-sector-driven." youtu.be/rqVQlALRqaE?...

And as a progressive leader, Mamdani has exemplified the consensus that supporting new homes is the progressive position.

The morning that Mayor Adams was indicted, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social joined us at a rally to end parking mandates in City of Yes. It would’ve been easy to bail on the rally, but Zohran didn’t. Instead, he stood alongside housing and transportation champions. bsky.app/profile/open...

First, go read about our endorsees for @Council.nyc.gov! Our members have spent the last 2 months working to support these candidates on the ground, while our IE @AbundantNewYork has already spent over $400,000 supporting those in the most competitive races. bsky.app/profile/open...

As we near the start of early voting, this primary season offers a range of great candidates for housing at every level. Though we’re only focusing on endorsements for City Council this year, we wanted to highlight housing leaders running for other offices who we’ve worked with directly.

Here's one for my Python-writing friends: >>> class Chance: ... def __rmod__(self, other): ... return other / 100 ... >>> chance = Chance() >>> >>> 50% chance 0.5

"Following publication, the NYPD press office reached out to @theonion.com to request that our headline be clarified. The below headline more accurately reflects the NYPD's new policy. We regret the error."

Did the Federal DOT just accidentally file a letter containing legal advice from the DOJ, instead of a letter addressed to the Judge, in the MTA v Duffy case?

I've been biking in Brooklyn for a few years now! It's hard for me to believe it, but I'm one of the people other bicyclists ask questions to now. Bike Brooklyn! is a zine I made that touches on everything I wish I knew when I started biking in Brooklyn: lizdenys.com/bikebk/

Looking forward to the @council.nyc.gov hearing on Monday on "universal daylighting" intro.nyc/1138-2024+, and quite pleased (though not surprised!) to see @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social is already a cosponsor of this important safety measure.

This is why I'm knocking doors to get @shahanafrombk.bsky.social reelected. At a time when Elon Musk is specifically promising to fund "moderate" Democratic primary challengers against successful progressives, a newcomer who suddenly has money from the GOP's donors is not what my district needs.

It is always a special day when there is salsa on Vanderbilt Avenue. This incredible gathering brings out a community of NYers that come from all walks of life. Want to see Salsa Salsa back on Vanderbilt this season? Help us make it happen: www.gofundme.com/f/vanderbilt...

Our campaign, along with @tabk.bsky.social and CM Rita Joseph, sent a letter to @nyc-dot.bsky.social and the Mayor urging them to protect bicyclists and all users of the streets in our neighborhoods, calling out almost a decade of inaction from the city: flatbushstreetsforpeople.com/uploads/flat...

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!
