Hey @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social, the CRC spokesperson said that the mayor only appoints 1 person on the Planning commission, but the website says the mayor appoints 6 members and the chair of the commission, while BPs/Public Advocate each appoint 1 person. Can you mention on air to clarify?

The city needs to rebrand new-build "affordable housing" as "rent-stabilized housing" because I'm tired of politicians using "affordable for who?" as an applause line at forums! And if you're going to talk about a lower AMI, you should have to explain how to fund the difference!

The single most important thing you can do, by a parsec, is show up at a town hall w/ your GOP member and talk to them face to face.
Heroes like @indivisible.org helped organize last time. People drove for hours to spend just a few minutes talking to their members. But we saved lives because of it.

The next most important thing you can do is call your GOP member's office every single day. When I worked in the Senate, in every single weekly all-staff meeting, we went over the phone calls we'd received.

A handful of artists—from established celebrity artists AND independent—are protesting the current admin by declining invitations and scheduled performances at the Kennedy Center. With that, I now question the values of artists who do not reconsider and reschedule their events there.

Calling Hochul back to say this voter has decided, and as a NYC resident I don't want a known compromised mayor in office. The attendant who answered said the office has also been receiving a lot of messages in support of firing Adams. Hochul's office #: (518) 474-8390
Eight Black state legislators ask Hochul not to remove Adams - “our communities will never forget it” if she does and she should leave it up to voters.

This should come directly out of the existing NYPD budget. Taxpayers (which includes undocu folkx btw!) should not be responsible for this. Unacceptable.
Do we need to draft a law in the city charter to make this happen? State bill?
