I love the idea of people downtown looking out the window and seeing the Mayor walking around on the roof of city hall filming a video for social media
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon.
Every. Single. One.
All journalists.
Targeted and assassinated intentionally.
For reporting the truth from the frontlines.
One is reminded of the only sensible thing Thomas Friedman ever wrote: “The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist — McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the builder of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley's technologies is called the United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.”
Israel has now seized a larger percentage of Lebanon's total landmass than Russia has taken from Ukraine since its 2022 invasion. The latter was immediately met with international uproar and unprecedented multi-sectoral sanctions while the former is barely even mentioned.
Philly DA Larry Krasner threatens ICE agents working at the airport with arrest:
"The president cannot pardon you. I will put you in handcuffs. And if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell."

please wait in line in a parking lot for 3 hours to be patted down and maybe kidnapped by ICE
if you make it to your flight on time and unkidnapped, maybe your plane will smash into a fire truck on the tarmac responding to a call about A FIRE ON A DIFFERENT PLANE
HAPPENING NOW Kneecap (@KNEECAPCEOL) performs for the Nuestra América convoy in Havana: "Free Cuba, f*ck Trump, f*ck Netanyahu!"
The Irish rappers came to Cuba as part of the convoy which brought 20 tons of humanitarian aid to the island.
There’s something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death.
