In the country's richest city, more than 140,000 kids don't have stable or permanent housing.

"Every Child and Family Is Known" — a small pilot program that pairs school staff with students and families in shelters — has shown real promise. I will double its funding and scope.

Great info on the ballot questions here from @thecity.nyc.

NKD members voted to endorse YES on all five of the city charter commission proposals (proposals 2-6 on the ballot).

yes, us! here you go:

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

for decades the only way to win a Surrogate's Court judgeship in Brooklyn was through the Brooklyn Democratic Party, to which Abrams provides ~unlimited legal work on an informal / IOU basis

so every judge making these health care surrogate decisions would be in their pocket already

WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT ABRAMS FENSTERMAN WITH ME TODAY

Last night, Democratic mayoral nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social spoke about his commitment to a "shared notion of humanity" – which led him to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the mass shooting at a Colorado school and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

This is tomorrow night, 5-9 pm at the Coney Island YMCA! Last chance to have your voice heard.

Let’s make sure this decision reflects the wishes of local community members, not billionaire casino developers.

The Council could have sued the Charter Commission over the wording, but didn't. It could be mounting an aggressive campaign against these questions at the ballot box, but it isn't (yet).

Instead, we're getting an end-run attempt to block voters from having their say on the city's biggest issue.

This is a good op-ed and a good update on why the adminstrators of our democratic process are about to do an underhanded assault on our democracy. Shame on the Board of Elections if they go through with it.

Good op-ed by @craiggurian.bsky.social in @nydailynews.com on why Frank Seddio and his GOP allies on the Board of Elections have no business striking pro-housing ballot proposals just because they don't like them (gift link)

Republicans on NYC's Board of Elections think they can illegally overrule ballot questions—or at least delay for long enough that the questions can't be printed on ballots.

Signal boost, send emails, and help us stop them:

There was already a long list of reasons Frank Seddio is unfit to be a BOE commissioner.

This sort of backroom dealing with Republicans in order to block voters from having their say is a perfect illustration.

This would be an outrageous abuse of the Board of Elections role in order to override the democratic process.
