Met Council On Housing endorses Lindsey Boylan
Honored to have Met Council standing beside me in this race as we fight for deeply affordable housing for everyone in District 3️⃣
📣Housing for people, not for profit!
One way to look at tonight's events: The Raiders spent $281.5M in free agency to build up their team... and just acquired one of the best pass-rushers of the last decade in Maxx Crosby.
Matthew Yglesias is poking fun at the White House finally realizing its policy is too unpopular to run on? The guy who spent all of 2025 and until circa February of 2026 arguing Democrats shouldn’t even talk about Trump’s immigration/deportation policy? That Matthew Yglesias?
83 POINTS!
Heat star Bam Adebayo has passed Kobe Bryant for the second-most points in a game in NBA history.

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.
In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.

The Safer Homes Act already has a veto-proof super-majority of sponsors, but its passage isn't currently likely. Why not?
Because Speaker Julie Menin, aligned with landlord interests, may prevent it from being put on the floor for a vote.

Between now and June 23, I'll say this often: we have little chance of taxing the rich this year, for Hochul isn't facing a primary.
The best thing we can do now is prioritize our primary races in the Assembly, where the Left is weaker than in the Senate. (For which races to plug into, see below ⬇️)
Hello followers. If anyone here is an advisor for a universiy publication and/or knows about the organization called Copytrack, could you please ping me? I have a couple of questions. Thanks.
There's no messaging without organizing. Unless you have a task for message to do - bring people together to contest for power & take on billionaires poisoning us - you can't craft let alone evaluate message.
And there's no organizing without messaging. Directing action take words & images.
The very deep thoughts of the Intellectual Dark Web's supposedly token "lefty"
“If it is wrong to tear families apart by deporting the parents of U.S. citizens—& it really is wrong, in case you were wondering—we ought to establish that only the children of those who are living in the United States as citizens or lawful permanent residents will be granted citizenship at birth.”
wait, the guy who employs rufo is against chauvinism, extremism, misogyny and racism?
It’s up to moderates like the guy we've repeatedly labeled a radical to root out the radicals in their midst. But honestly, do moderates even exist?
“Zohran Mamdani is the most prominent observant Muslim in American life. He has made his religious identity a central part of his political identity, and he has vowed to stop ‘biting his tongue’ in the face of Islamophobic attacks,” Reihan Salam, a Muslim who is the president of the conservative Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, wrote in an email. “That gives him unique credibility and authority to speak out against the chauvinism, extremism, misogyny and racism that exists within Muslim communities and that has spilled over into violence again and again.”
why isn't the Muslim mayor taking this opportunity to talk about how all Muslims are bad?
???
GOP congressman from Tennessee Andy Ogles posted on Ex-Twitter on March 9: “Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.”
“Pluralism is a lie”
That really is the consensus on the Right: It’s all a lie, no one actually wants it, it’s all just a conspiracy orchestrated by globalist elites, it destroys the nation.
It’s the one thing that unites all the factions on the MAGA right: A rabid disdain of pluralism.
Each @chactivist.bsky.social labor-strategy piece is a jewel, and this one's no exception.
Here, Chris argues that new unions should consider seeking first contracts that don't turn into all-or-nothing fights but rather help—
• Sustain their existence and
• Improve their power to scale.
Four children crowd around Mayor Mamdani in a classroom setting. He leans down to listen to one child who is pointing her finger at his face and speaking passionately.
When New Yorkers talk, we listen.

Inside Iran, a strong current of political thought rejects both domestic tyranny and foreign intervention. It demands self-determination through nonviolent civic struggle. https://bit.ly/402IgbS
It was immediately obvious to anyone who was not living under a rock for the last 25 years that bombing Iran was a mistake.
How many times are we going to get a headline that reads "Suozzi: 'I failed'" before he finally stops collaborating with the Trump regime?
Curtis Yarvin * @curtis_yarvin X.com The Iranian Revolution was a diplomatic crime of the American left. The Islamic Republic, like its proxy Hamas, is a client power of the American left. Trump is only bombing Tehran because he can't bomb Brooklyn Kyle Orton @ @KyleWOrton • 20h The Shah's dream was to bring Iran up to a level with European States: the economic policies were in place, many social reforms done, and the political piece—an elected government with a constitutional Monarchy—was set for late 1979.

Today I learned from JD Vance’s muse that Iran’s Islamic, fundamentalist regime is a manifestation of the same leftist political energies as those which animate Brooklyn leftism. Ok dude, sure, whatever
How to battle the normalisation of neo-fascist populism | LSE Research youtu.be/Z5J7J1mvYtc?...
Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.
Bar graph showing responses to question "Would you support or oppose abolishing ICE?" from The Economist/You Gov from June 2025 and late Feb-early March 2026. Total support for abolishing rose 23 points, among Dems 30 points, among independents 23 points, among Republicans 14 points.
Public opinion is not fixed.
And it's the job of a campaign to move people.
I cannot tell you how terrifying the last few days have been. If you have loved ones in the region they are at risk.

@reaDonald Trump Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP
LBJ: Many of the issues of civil rights are very complex and most difficult. But about this there can and should be no argument: every American citizen must have an equal right to vote.
Trump: Everything stops until you pass the Voter Reduction Act.

That's literally the job of a candidate running for office. Motivating people to vote for you. That's why you campaign. That's the whole thing
