NYC Mayor Eric Adams is a xenophobic bigot: “[Migrants] will destroy NYC. How many of you are organized to stop what they’re doing to us? It’s going to come to your neighborhoods. All of us are going to be impacted. The city we knew we’re about to lose.”

Imagine being such a corrupt politician that you pretend that the victim is the "law enforcement officer" that wrote a ticket to an innocent person for something that he knew they didn't do.

There’s the assumption that this was a conservative victory, but understand this, a lot of progressive, liberal, vote blue majority culture folks have long been irked/angered/annoyed about Affirmative Action. Just ask POC (parents, students, counselors) with experience at PWIs

.@ElieNYC on Supreme Court striking down affirmative action in college admissions: "It was a terrible decision on the law, but we all know the real reason why people like John Roberts did it." #TheReidOut

Columbus circle still filled with illegally parked vehicles. @ebottcher
Most of the non-TLC vehicles are regulars every day. A confirmation that 100% of enforcement here happens in the morning.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The 13th cyclist of the year has been killed, this time on dangerous Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn. Adam Uster was a supporter of @transalt and other safe streets groups. His loss is the entire city's loss. nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/05/…

.@NYCMayor "takes offense" to people calling out his scapegoating of asylum seekers, who he's been blaming for HIS harmful budget cuts. But NYC has a budget surplus & NYPD spends ~$1B on OT & lawsuits; DOC spends $200M+ on funding CO sick outs. Math ain't mathing 🤔#CareNotCuts

This is shocking and totalitarian.
And does the mayor think that the NYPD is so fragile that it cannot bear criticism?

We surrounded the Rent Guidelines Board.
It’s a hearing, right? I bet they hear us now.

Taxing the rich isn’t radical. It isn’t even new.
The current top-bracket tax rate is 37%.
But in 1965, it was 70%.
In the 1950s, it was over 90%.
NOT taxing the rich is what’s new.
