Politics, voting rights, bike lanes. Building @abundance_ny; previously Co-ED @SwingLeft, CEO & Co-Founder @Flippable_org. She/her, views my own.

I’m excited to introduce a project I’ve been working on with @ryderkessler: Abundance New York. We are a political community building a New York with more: more than enough homes, public transit, green space, clean energy. More than enough for everyone. https://t.co/WHkCfsKcD8

Excited to share my latest in @Searchlight_NY about why @abundance_ny is endorsing Gov Hochul. Hochul has repeatedly done the hard parts of abundance, standing up to entrenched interests to make it easier for NY to build. Her next big challenge: making it easier for NY to hire.

There is no perfect or acceptable rape victim because there will literally be court documents showing a man was indicted for sexually assaulting his stepdaughter from age 9-12, and people will still get up on a public stage and call her a liar for speaking about it.

[Abundance NY @abundance_ny]

Writing in @Searchlight_NY, ANY co-founder @CV0 breaks down @GovKathyHochul’s strong record—and why we’re backing her in November.

Plus, the agenda item we’d most like to see in her second term: permanent civil service reform. Link ⬇️

[Rob Flaherty @Rob_Flaherty]

A Scaramucci was a measure of time.

A Zacharia is more ethereal; a measure of being, a disconnect between one’s story and one's purpose, the distance between what you’ve lived and what you're doing at present.

Beautiful really.

Plot twist, the store owner/magician with no media training is also the author of Dragons Love Tacos!? This revelation might divide my household

[Mary-Lyn Buckley @Ml_buckley1010]

Hi @kellyclarkson I talked to Art Of Play co-owner Adam Rubin who wants to send you this message in part “We hold no ill will against Kelly Clarkson, we invite her to come back and enjoy the store. But, we find her gross abuse of power completely reprehensible, and she should face social consequences.” @1010WINS let us know if we can interview you to follow-up.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows

[Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐 @TrueSlazac]

I’m not the first one to say it, but it is notable that the people who constantly talk about the Third Worldification of America are the doing brazen corruption and nepotism, gaudy golden decorations and public executions

What do you mean the the issey miyake Montessori kindergarten made a statement addressing their outfits

1/ Every law the NYC Council passes is public. Reading them means digging through Legistar's PDFs and Word files. So I built trackers that read every local law since 2014 for you, and they now include a third: the powers the Council gives city agencies. https://t.co/I4Q0DhfYKS

[Robert Gordon @robertmgordon]

Terrific to see the mayor prioritize civil service reform. No one can say it's just about the videos. If he and his partners show real flexibility, they can move toward the public excellence New York deserves. More in the links.

[Ryder Kessler @ryderkessler]

Perfect timing to revisit last week's @abundance_ny Substack piece by @CV0 about civil service, digging into the real harms to New Yorkers caused by understaffing.

She shares lessons from what we've been able to do right in emergencies. Now we need better rules for every day 👇

[Shabazz Stuart @ShabazzStuart]

I fully support BIDs (I'm an alum of @DowntownBklyn) and I do agree that the Northside is probably overdue for one.

But the solution for every dirty street can't be a BID, at some point baseline city services have to catch up to reality.

BIDs are for *supplemental* services.

[Abundance NY @abundance_ny]

Why have emergency response times risen for 4 straight years while SNAP and cash assistance processing lagged? A key reason: understaffing.

On Substack, @CV0 explains how civil service reform can help NYC prevent crises before they happen.

I really think this sickening system of shoving children in front of a judge in a courtroom, assisted legally by nobody else, to be told that they are to be wrenched away from their families and ejected from the U.S., is a form of child torture and torment. No other way to see it

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

Amazing stuff here

you're obsessed with the lesbian bar's mask policy because of woke.

i'm obsessed with the lesbian bar's mask policy because it reveals the psychotic levels of entitlement bred by stakeholder-veto culture and participatory democracy.
