Take it from me: You do NOT negotiate with abusers.

So if Trump wants to illegally take New Jersey’s funding, we have to fight back with everything we’ve got.

My idea? Eminent domain Trump’s golf course for affordable housing.

My debut in @nydailynews:
www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/04/t...

Trump took Gateway money, we must take his golf club

Take it from someone who’s spent years as a survivor advocate, working with people hurt by those in power: You do not negotiate with abusers.

Commentary: Like D.C., New Jersey has its own unjust budget newjerseymonitor.com/2025/07/28/l...

Like D.C., New Jersey has its own unjust budget • New Jersey Monitor

Democrats have attacked the GOP budget bill that President Trump signed on July 4 — but New Jersey Dems' budget is also unjust.

When JC and Hoboken banned RealPage, they set an example for others to follow. Now cities across the country are taking similar action.

But we can’t leave this fight to individual cities. We need a statewide ban on rent-fixing algorithms across *all* of NJ www.nj.com/hudson/2025/...

These N.J. cities are joining a national fight against secret software driving up your rent

Jersey City became the first municipality in New Jersey to ban these algorithms, followed by Hoboken, which recently passed a similar ordinance.

I have so much more to say on this, but that’s a conversation for another day. Until then…

Congratulations, Zohran! And thank you for standing up for what’s right - even when that brings you all the way across the Hudson into New Jersey!

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdami on a truly historic win last night!

People are ready for change - and for candidates who believe in the “radical” notions that a better world is possible, and that government should work for working people instead of special interests.

On that note, many thanks to @katiebrennan.bsky.social

Eric Allen Conner @eaconner.bsky.social · Jun 2

@talyaschwartz.bsky.social is too kind here. A large portion of the lobbyists' comments were actually focused on buttering up Chairman O'Connor and attacking politicians speaking out on the project as "opportunists." All while the same lobbyists' clients were busy donating to buy HCDO support...
