For 3 years, @nycprogressives.bsky.social & @council.nyc.gov have been fighting just to undo #EricAdams’ cuts — to schools, libraries, CUNY, & more.

Now CMs say the process is broken & NYC needs to reform/rebalance it to serve/protect NYers & our $.

We agree! Watch ⬇️ #CareNotCuts #NYCBudgetJustice

THIS
Do we want a public transit + bus mayor—or one who runs red lights?
As governor, #AndrewCuomo ran the MTA...into the ground:
📉 On-time trains ⬇️ to 65%, lowest since 1970s
💸 Cuomo ✂️ ~$400M from MTA
👹 2017 "Summer of Hell" delays, derailment & more

NYers decide: now through June 24. #DontRankCuomo!

I so appreciated this opportunity to talk about the mayor’s race and the fight ahead. Thank you, @playtyperguy.com
I spoke with @lindseyboylan.bsky.social about how New Yorkers can stop Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback. Even if you don’t live in the city, you should watch and help spread the word.

we can’t believe we have to say this, but New Yorkers deserve a mayor who governs by and for the *people* not ChatGPT
NEW:

Andrew Cuomo used ChatGPT to help write the housing plan he released this weekend, which included several nonsensical passages. The plan even cites to ChatGPT on a section about the Rent Guidelines Board.

Gov. Hochul is putting her reelection campaign before the needs of New York’s working families by stalling crucial budget decisions, jeopardizing child care, + delaying updates to how our schools are funded. Now, she’s proposing changes to election rules that could give her even more political power

Thank you NYS Education Department for not just accepting the nonsense. #EducationforLiberation
Trump gave states 10 days to sign anti-DEI policy. NY Education Department is refusing.
In a Friday letter to the U.S. Education Department, New York officials said they will not certify that the state is eliminating DEI in schools, despite threats to pull federal funding.

To make sure every family has access to affordable child care, NYS must raise wages for child care educators. Only permanent, ongoing funding for the workforce can ensure a sustainable system.
