I allowed myself just this one day to completely OD on social media dopamine (as a post-election treat), and you know what?

No regrets.

Dan Goldman is "aligned" with Trump, who famously said this:
Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump on TruthSocial, dated September 17, 2023: "Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed false narratives! "Let's hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward! "Happy New Year!"

This has me thinking again about how we can make neighborhood-based organizing accessible/appealing to people w/ housing instability.

I had to move soooooo many times in my first couple of years in NYC (many cheap sublets before I could afford a lease). Hard to lay down any roots that way!
"An ideal," DRUM's Ahmed said, "would be if we could develop neighborhood-based organizing committees" out of the campaign's neighborhood canvassing operations. "They could play this role of staying well-connected to the community, connected to the administration, and sort of being able to go in both directions." But Ahmed emphasized that this was still an ideal, while pointing out the wide discrepancy between electoral campaigns and ongoing organizing efforts. "It's one thing to knock on doors to mobilize people," he said. "It's another thing to actually know people behind those doors and know who they listen to or who they influence."

NYC Marathon day!

Always fantastic vibes, and a great chance to spread the word about @repyourblock.bsky.social's grassroots campaign to bring small-d democracy to the BK Democratic Party!

Día de los Muertos in Brooklyn (Green-Wood Cemetery)
Photo of a path toward the main entrance of Green-Wood Cemetery. Gravestones rise out of the grass to the right of the path, which is lined with trees in fall colors that cast long shadows along the grass. At the end of the path is the cemetery's Gothic-style entry gate, with intricately decorated spires rising into the sky. View from atop a hill in the cemetery. The sky is blue, and everything is cast in a late afternoon glow. To the right in the foreground is a bronze statue of a Civil War Union soldier. In the middle distance are the grasses and trees of the cemetery. Farther in the background is the neighborhood of Sunset Park. Downtown Manhattan can be seen in the far distance.

Note Frank Seddio standing in the background 🎃 He's the disgraced former BK Dems party boss who now serves as Board of Elections Commissioner (@nycspeakeradams.bsky.social let him fail upward 🙄). He still controls judicial selection in Brooklyn.
Photo of Andrew Cuomo speaking at an event with Board of Elections Commissioner and disgraced former BK Dems party boss Frank Seddio (who still controls judicial nominations in the borough). The overhead lights are turned off, so the only light is coming from a lamp below and in front of Cuomo, accentuating Cuomo's goulish features and casting a menacing shadow onto the ceiling.

Props to whoever put these up in Grand Army Plaza 👻⛔
Round, grayscale sticker on a light pole. The center says, "Ghosts for Cuomo" and the rim of the sticker reads, "Never stop haunting New York" and "Creepy · Ancient · Hollow" with little ghost figures. Below that sticker is another, rectangular sticker that says "#BanCars" and "TheWarOnCars.org"

Zoom in on her purse 😂

ICYMI, here's what Bed-Stuy's straight-shooting Council Member @chiosse.bsky.social had to say about Stefani Zinerman back in June:
Instagram post from Chi Ossé's account on July 11, 2025: "Let it be known that I will be supporting a challenger against my State Assemblymember @stefanizinerman. We need affordable housing in Bed-Stuy, and we cannot afford our elected officials to protest against it. Let’s vote for the leaders we deserve in June 2026." Post from Chi Ossé's Instagram account on July 11, 2025: "Council Member Chi Ossé released the following statement regarding his State Assembly Member, Stefani Zinerman: "Between 2010 and 2020, 22,000 Black residents were displaced from Bed-Stuy. To Assembly Member Zinerman, that number is not nearly large enough. Her pro-landlord lobby, pro-homelessness, pro-displacement agenda has been allowed to ravage our neighborhoods for too long. Now, amid a housing shortage battering our historic community, she comes out against a 100% affordable housing development. "In accordance with the wishes of the landlords she works for, Assembly Member Zinerman is exercising the power of her office to block housing that would both be a lifeline for its low- and moderate-income residents, and also apply downward pressure on housing prices across the board by adding to the housing stock. As wealthier new arrivals come to Bed-Stuy, Zinerman prefers that they bid up the rents on our limited existing units and displace legacy residents, all so the big landlord class can cash out at the expense of Black Brooklyn. All New Yorkers of conscience should be disgusted. "Her abhorrent policy positions invite a primary challenge. When that pro-housing, anti-homelessness candidate arises to be the leadership our community deserves, I will put everything I have behind their candidacy. For the sake of Black Brooklyn, for the sake of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights, and for the sake of all who are blessed to call these blocks their home, Stefani Zinerman must be voted out. "She works for the big landlord lobby, which salivates at each housing development blocked because the shortage drives up rents. We need an Assembly Member who works for us."

The dinosaur bodega in the Grand Army Plaza subway stop got a Halloween edit 😍🦇👻🦖

Grateful to the artist @akiva.bsky.social for this fun public artwork that always makes me smile!
A reproduction of a NYC newsstand (named "Rex's Dino Store") but dinosaur-themed. The proprietor is a t-rex wearing a skeleton shirt, and the newspapers, magazines, and other goods on display are all dinosaur-related. There are bat and cobweb decorations hanging from the ceiling. Closeup shot of some of the Halloween decorations. There's a mini dino skeleton figurine and a fake headstone that says "Kathy Kretacious / Sister Mother Raptor / Fell in a tar pit" Another fake tombstone decoration that reads, "Izzy Iguanadon / Such a friendly tail / Insulted a T-Rex's arms." Behind it is a ceramic dinosaur figurine that mimics the maneki-neko (waving lucky cat) that often grace the entrances of businesses.

Really striking moment at tonight's big Zohran rally:

Kathy Hochul, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and Carl Heastie came onstage to tepid applause. Eventually, the crowd started a spontaneous "Tax the Rich!" chant, drowning Hochul out completely.

"I can hear you," she replied, sounding uncomfortable.
