Today I'm so honored to earn the endorsement of @drichardsqns.bsky.social, who fights for the world's borough every day. We recently rode the Q4 in Jamaica, one of the five bus lines made free in our fare free bus pilot. Ridership jumped 30%, and everyone's commute got a little bit easier.

Here's the press release: 19 new stations with connections to 17 subway lines and a runtime of 32 minutes across 14 miles. This truly is a game-changer. No word on estimated completion date. We are probably looking at 2032ish. www.governor.ny.gov/news/governo...

For Eric Adams, the law is simply a suggestion—especially when it comes to funding his campaigns. Thankfully Donald Trump can't bail him out of this one. From the CFB meeting earlier today:

Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through. An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, Bernie Sanders.

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

one of the most persistent myths in punditry is that you can pull a coherent rationale out of the american voter. swing voters are, by and large, doing a surface level assessment of their current situation and giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

It’s worth emphasizing that even bad websites for public services are the result of privatization. NY State has almost no full time tech staff to work on UI. CUNY spent $600 million (!!) on a custom software system from Oracle that everyone hated pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny...

Is Maine… nationalizing the power industry?
If Mainers vote yes, they’d make history – endorsing a first-of-its-kind plan to create a state-level public power company through a hostile takeover. Supporters want to buy out the assets of Central Maine Power and Versant Power – which distribute 97% of the state’s electricity – and replace them with Pine Tree Power, a new not-for-profit distribution utility.

Fighting with my MSNBC loving parents about the value of unions. I pointed out that my mom gets a guaranteed payout from her time working at a hospital in the NYC metro for a few years back in 1986-1988, and she was like "well that's not the union!" Ah the '80s, where employers just gave pensions!
