Very excited to celebrate the release of the 2025 update to BP Antonio Reynoso's Comprehensive Plan for Brooklyn. I'm very proud of the work our office has done in the last year to build out The Plan into 378 pages of analysis, strategies, and actions for the city's greatest borough.

my buddy @resnikoff.bsky.social off the top rope with some actual class analysis www.thenation.com/article/soci...
A YIMBY Theory of Power
Pro-housing advocates offer an analysis of class relations that is more sophisticated and has more explanatory power than the one held by many critics of the “abundance agenda.”

This administration is like a second pandemic. The biggest issue is all the avoidable deaths, but life is also marginally worse in a million little ways, and the foregone output (economic, academic, etc) will loom over us for decades to come

one thing I've become very convinced of is the need for the civil service to do waaayyyy more propaganda. like you should know about how NOAA makes the weather app on your phone work. you should know that Uncle Sam runs GPS. you should know how impressive the US census data collection effort is, etc

NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

stop saying things like “do not waste time” on this
trump calling himself king while declaring an end to a democratically enacted law is not a “distraction” it is the essence of the evil at hand

Dear media:
Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.
It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.
Focus on those.

Parliamentary style government is starting to look really nice, would love it if we had a mechanism for a no confidence vote and a new election instead of impeachment and waiting four years

This whole gambit has been such a disaster. Delaying congestion pricing raised its salience as a campaign issue, ensured that it would be a red-meat topic for the new admin to target, and soft-launched the idea that the executive is not bound by the legislative branch.
Your Friday CapCon has arrived! The future of congestion pricing could be decided next week: www.capitolconfidential.com/p/congestion...

I'm not sure how we reverse this trend, which seems to extend to so many things post-covid. But it feels more and more apparent that remote options like asynchronous learning are not straightforward, liberating innovations

Nice argument, unfortunately for you I have already depicted myself as smiling Janno unveiling the congestion relief zone and you as a driver circling the block for parking for the 80th time
It’s happening! Tonight, MTA Chair & CEO Janno Lieber unveiled one of the signs at the entrance to the Congestion Relief Zone. Tolling begins at midnight.
