Every time nycfc doesn't lose I do a little "we didn't lose" dance

I know #NYCFC is disappointed getting so close to a W only to end in another draw 😭😭😭

Thank you for your clarity, intention, and urgency, @ewarren. We need it now more than ever.

Man, shut the fuck up

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

The time to do it is now. We have a Democratic President a Democratic Congress & Democratic Senate.If not now, when?

Too many people have died for politicians to say,“well we tried”

We don’t elect people to try. We elect people to do

Stop making excuses&start making progress

Huge story today. @latinojustice used the FOIL laws to drop a bomb on the NYPD. They got every report showing officers found to have lied to CCRB and tracked the discipline and court records. This 🧵 explains how wildly important this is. JOURNOS! For you

Additionally, the assemblywoman whose been in that office *my entire life* announced her retirement, and the seat is up for grabs. I don't hate politics. I hate how *quiet* local politics is and how much homework it creates for us who want to pay attention and be well informed.

Amidst the news out of bklyn today, I've also learned that my assemblyman is dropping his reelection bid, and that it doesn't effect my vote anyway because apparently the lines were redrawn earlier this year and I'm now in AD37. I wasn't aware those maps were finalized but okay.

“It is cruel to say, ‘I will give you housing, but only in jail, I will treat your mental health, but only in jail, I will feed you, but only in jail’. Pretrial incarceration is NOT the answer. I want public safety, but NOT at the expense of our civil rights.” - @TheRealLatriceW

Shame and morality have no say when profit making is automated. The logic of the machine is the pure expression of the logic of capitalism: the libertarian dream of supply and demand without human intervention.

We need collective action to exert human agency over these systems.

this morning has been completely overwhelming. Our city's response to violence in Brooklyn and yet another attack on Sikh uncles in #RichmondHill is the same: more police presence. Time to hear the same list of responses recycled over and over again hoping something will stick.

New Yorkers are not still heading to work because we are built different. We’re still heading to work because the cost of living here is so expensive that we cannot afford to miss days. Including when a mass shooting happens at our transit services.

Good morning, New York City! We’re officially live on @tiktok_us. Follow along for the fun: https://t.co/6zvvBJjwkO

@adamtotscomix Both things can be true

[BodegaDiscourse @BodegaDiscourse]

I'm genuinely surprised those buildings lasted this long.

[Astoria/LIC Patch @AstoriaPatch]

The auto shop and taxicab parking that cover a block of Broadway near Socrates Sculpture Park may soon be displaced by a new building. https://t.co/IGI4vfjF5O

I sincerely believe in the #NewDeal4CUNY and the work that organizers and electeds like @ZohranKMamdani are doing towards improving conditions and access, but the harassment @valderie is experiencing is proof of the extra burden on disabled students and faculty. @PSC_CUNY

[Rose Movement 🌹 @Rosemvmt]

Actually, the answer is to abolish the police ❌🐷

@EffinBirds Congrats on the win Aaron!

Update: while the ads aren’t completely gone, the ones that remain now lead to a “not found” page while we wait for Google to catch up.

Shout out to the “public shaming doesn’t work” commenters, congrats on on your continued commitment to being dumb and wrong.
