Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

This change is for the disabled New Yorkers whose elevators have been out of service all summer. For the parents who fear for their children because there is lead paint in the living room and black mold in the bathroom. For the tenants with cockroaches crawling in through the floorboards.

Good to see NYPD headcount not grow, but we actually need it to shrink. Good to see CityFHEPS and Fair Fares expansions, but also let’s fight for public housing and free buses. And we are still going to fight for INCREASED public library (we need 0.5% minimum) and parks funding (1% minimum).

Mamdani promised 0.5% of the total city expense budget would be allocated to our public libraries and he promised 1% would go to our public parks. The Adopted budget dropped today and libraries only got 0.43% ($91 million short of his promise). Parks only got 0.56% ($549.5 million short).

NO NEW COPS
“I am proud to have worked closely with the Mayor and public safety advocates to ensure there was no increase to the NYPD’s headcount in this budget. Every dollar we spend on policing and incarceration means money we can’t spend on housing, mental health care, substance use treatment, and economic stability: the proven policies that actually keep our communities healthy and safe. This budget is an important check on the failed policy of broken windows policing and will allow us to build a public safety infrastructure rooted in care, not punishment and incarceration. And we will keep building on it.”

I think it's important to note that 2.4 million NYers will benefit for freezing the rent. 1000 people actively testified (double the number from last year) but peep that tiny number and understand what it took to double it.

Fascists tear apart every institution that people rely on to survive and start wars without provocation: "Can you pwease send us 25 dollars so we can vote in favor of their bills and appointees?" Socialists win state-level elections on a promise to make life marginally better: "This means war."

Obama and other liberals keep saying that they want a "strong GOP". Well, this is what it looks like: a brazen and gleeful rejection of Black people having anything worth respecting or defending and alignment with an openly white nationalist agenda that holds nonwhiteness in contempt.

FWIW Linda McMahon is very credibly accused of sex trafficking minors & covering up multiple child rapes for >20 years. The reason she hasn’t faced legal consequences for it is not for lack of evidence, but because she was able to delay accountability until she was outside the statute of limitations
