Every month I look at the MTA Board's Capital Program agenda for the upcoming 12 months and am just shocked at the paucity of oversight for a multi-billion-dollar capital program.

In an administration of very racist things, the treatment of the refugee program is perhaps the most racist thing Trump and Co. have done. The depths of this depravity haven't really broken through to the mainstream as far as I can tell.

I think this is a good demonstration of how Brett’s “friends” represent a constituency that is semi-common among NYC elites and basically nonexistent elsewhere: we people who would be Republicans but are nominally Dems for social reasons and because the GOP cannot compete there

this is a stupid decision by Hasan if he actually cares about getting the people he supports elected you can think this is true and you can still consider optics enough not to go on “the Axios show” and make sure AES gets to spend the whole next week being asked about it at every event

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

There some amazing responses in the mentions. You all realize if the Lower Manhattan Expressway had been built, it would be considered an Important Freight Corridor and vital for (checks notes) low income New Yorkers who own a car (???) and need to drive everywhere

The BQE reaction is a good look into just how much uncritical Mamdani fawning there actually is, even down to thinking that invoking The Power Broker makes this an anti-Robert Moses action.

This is the kind of anti-democratic, autocratic maneuvering that we're used to seeing from the party of Mitch McConnell. It should have absolutely no place in the Democratic Party and will only serve to further erode voters' (already low) trust in the party and in government in general.

Another point to make- she’s calling “settled law” a law that *current Republican Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed.* How does the current Republican Governor have a better position on this than the Dem nominee?? ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/01/24/o...

Ohio Senate overrides DeWine vetoes on trans youth gender-affirming care and local tobacco bans • Ohio Capital Journal
The Ohio Senate voted to override two of Gov. Mike DeWine’s vetoes Wednesday — one blocking gender-affirming care for trans youth and the other lets the state have the final say on tobacco laws.

Obama stood ON his party's 2008 consensus... civil unions was the default Dem position. Acton is breaking DOWNWARD from hers: only 2 House Dems voted for the sports ban. Zero senators. No state party endorses them. He taught the party nothing new. A win for her teaches Dems transphobia works.

Even if Amy Acton wins, she'll be dealing with a Supermajority R legislature. Republicans will still do what they want. The upside for trans people across the US is low with an Amy Acton victory. The downside, allowing this cancer of using transphobia to win, is WAY worse IMO.

We know what happens when the left of center party embraces transphobia. Look at Labour UK. Trans rights are lost there for a generation. They've got nobody left to fight for them. We cannot let that same cancer spread in the US in the Democratic Party.

Whats worse... A single Democratic loss in a statewide race to a right-wing governor? Or a Democratic Party win in Ohio that uses transphobia to get there, teaching dems across the country that this is a new acceptable tactic? The latter results in no party left to fight for us.

It’s becoming an increasingly unavoidable conclusion that a portion of mostly establishment Democrat electeds/pundits/consultants don’t like Democratic voters much and would much prefer to have Republican voters instead, and view their voters’ insistence on being represented as an annoying betrayal.

Sure is weird that Amy Acton basically told not only trans people but also the entire Ohio LGBTQ+ community and explicitly progressive party "allies" to pound sand in a single stroke. But haha I'm sure that's just isolated fuckery and in no way a pattern borne out by every round of polling.

"The Council is pushing..." Great. The Council, against the loud advice of advocates, created this problem in the first place and can fix it by simply passing a law rather than doing whatever pushing is going on here. Pass the law. Fix it.

Much like with Greenland, a true opposition party would be screaming bloody murder over this inhumane practice. Instead of returning immigrants to their home country, they are being rendered to a foreign country and thrown in jail for committing no recognizable crime. It's horrific.

It's great to see the City and MTA come together and plan for "faster buses, better service." But if bus drivers and dispatchers are allowed to continue their IDGAF attitude towards day-to-day operations (terminal departure times, bus bunching) then I'm not sure any of this actually matters.

Politicians who believe in a social safety net are getting elected by Dem voters, in many cases by large margins, so other Dems should join with the fascists to stop it. Incredible take from a TWU official. Embarrassing Albany gives these guys the time of day. That anti-OPTO should’ve been DOA.
