🗳️Ahead of NYC's early voting, I wrote a 'mayoral policy guide' on each of the candidates, not just on general issues but also stuff like fed enforcement activity.
I'll touch on some highlights here, including policy recommendations from legal experts and community advocates:

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.

liked that mods were pretty strict w the candidates and quick w the fact checks. I think it’s a shame these debates still spend SO little time on immigrants, only bothering to mention the threat of IC3 agents in our city when they’re talking about the president, especially for “a city of immigrants”

Mayor Adams heads to Albania, with Albanian government footing some of the bill

rewatching Gilmore Girls and there's an episode where they mention buying books on Amazon because rory's a nerd and that was the only thing that Amazon used to sell back then: just books.
twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

as Dems vocalize to the public that the crux of the shutdown is disagreement w/ Republicans over healthcare provisions, GOP strategy seems to be to pass blame onto undocumented immigrants who have nothing to do with it - more so now when many folks are scared of getting abducted in unlawful arrests
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

A very funny dynamic is that this rally is to support us but we can’t help but be in coverage mode. (The support means the world.)
