Israel is deliberately starving millions in Gaza, blocking food, baby formula, and aid. They are putting civilians and children at the brink of death. This man-made famine and genocide must end. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Alcatraz won’t reopen. But it’s the rhetorical point: prisons should be cruel and punitive and—importantly—isolating. All things we know, from piles of work, don’t actually promote safety. But it’s example #1963 of how “tough on crime” is never abt safety, but abt performative cruelty.

Under the leadership of Mayor Gainey the city has made huge investments into the safety of city workers and residents. A pilot program in the department of public works saw a 59% decrease in workplace injuries and saved $10 million in the process. Read more: pittsburghquarterly.com/articles/see...
Worker Safety – The goal is zero harm for city workers.  In just two years the worker harm rates have gone down by a staggering 59 percent in the pilot department (DPW) and 31 percent across the entire City workforce.  This means roughly 100 fewer City workers are being hurt each year, respecting their humanity, leaving more people to perform vital city services, and saving pain and cost for all. Money is not the object, but driving safety also saved the City almost $10 million over two years in paid claims, resources that can be used to better meet resident needs.Safe Transit – Before 2022 the City literally had no way to ensure important sections of sidewalk were walkable because individual property owners own their own sidewalks.  In just three months five City departments collaborated on a process to work with property owners to repair whole sections of sidewalk. This process has led to 4 miles of sidewalk repair in the last two years around schools and public transit that have led to measurable improvements in safety and student absenteeism. This is part of a much larger “Vision Zero” initiative for traffic harm.

In all of 2024 Pittsburgh didn’t lose a single teenager (age 13-17) to gun violence. Truly a remarkable bit of work that is largely under reported in conversations around public safety in the city.

My goal as Mayor is to make Pittsburgh affordable for all. We're building and preserving more affordable housing than any Mayor in 20 years. We're holding landlords accountable. We created 150 new homeowners. We moved 150 land bank properties. And we're just getting started.

If you only listened to the campaign against Mayor Gainey you’d think no new housing was happening in Pittsburgh — and you’d be wrong.
Census data for Allegheny County showing Building Permits for New Privately Owned Housing Unit Authorizations — and the chart skyrockets during the Gainey administration.

Team Gainey isn't shy about being less accessible to developers. Deputy Mayor Jake Pawlak: “What they are talking about is ... calling in political favors to get preferred treatment. That’s something that’s been done a lot in the past that we absolutely don’t do.”

That’s right. I answer to the People of Pittsburgh — not the predatory landlords and developers who only care about their profit margins, raising rents, keeping our neighbors from being able to buy a home, and pricing our friends and family out.

If Corey understood his old council district, the mayor’s zoning legislation, or even the existing zoning code, he would know that Greenfield and Lincoln Place are almost entirely R1 and R2, so wouldn't be impacted by IZ hardly any, if at all. www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...
O’Connor said he voted for inclusionary zoning to apply to Lawrenceville when he was a council member. “But Lawrenceville’s market is different than Lincoln Place’s market, and West End’s market is different than Greenfield’s market.”

Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism. Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

Hard to imagine a more objectively evil scenario than “the richest person on the planet intentionally chooses to prevent poor children from starving to death.” if a comic book supervillain did it you’d think it was implausibly evil. The sort of thing every religion agrees results in Going To Hell

Tiktok ban is in effect and Biden could have saved it…now we got the app shouting out trump for possibly bringing it back. What a massive miscalculation for dems that will cost them young voters 🫠
Tiktok pop up stating the app is unavailable, but they are “fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office”
