Got my new @qplnyc.bsky.social library card!

This is a picture of my new library card from Queens Public Library. The new card contains an image of a diverse group of kids. The kids are all sitting on the bench of a New York City MTA 7-Train subway car, reading a giant library book that is laid across their laps.

I watched the footage of what she said and I think Cheryl Reeve did the right thing by speaking up - she's protecting the health and safety of her players. Everyone deserves to feel safe at work.

In my neighborhood, kids just walk up to the Citi Bikes without an account & jiggle them back & forth until they unlock from the rack, allowing them to ride for free. They also don't put the bikes back in the rack when they're done, opting to keep them instead. So age verification is meaningless.

That shot at Cuomo without ever mentioning his name, and the genuine boom of the shared cackle that followed—from someone who first endorsed him, THIS is how you crush the souls of your enemies.

Little Haiti is vibrant. And it’s facing the same cost of living crisis as neighborhoods across the city.

That's why Brooklyn Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and I are bringing the Democratic Party together around a shared vision for an affordable New York. I am grateful for her endorsement!

Eric Adams has enabled the nuclear action to dump retirees into an inferior Medicare Advantage plan. Thanks for nothing, Michael Mulgrew and Unity.

Ahhh there it is.

“One of those people familiar with her finances told Playbook [the Jessica Ramos] campaign is over $250,000 in debt. A large chunk of that is in dispute with a single vendor who has retained a lawyer and is threatening to sue Ramos.”

Ramos for… Cuomo?!

The OMNY card contains an NFC chip (from China). If cards can't be produced b/c of tariffs, the MTA won't be able to fully get rid of metrocards yet. Otherwise they risk creating a situation where you can only ride the train if you have a credit card or smart phone, which is economic discrimination.
