Free Market YIMBY & Urbanist slayer. Local politics watchdog.
Fight the executive class, billionaires, and tech broligarchs—not each other.

Worried. Who’s screening? REBNY, real estate powerbroker and mini–National Restaurant Association (aka NYC Hospitality Alliance) are all over this. Transition teams overflowing with real-estate + tech funded lobbyists who already have their finger on the scale and undue influence at City Hall.

No grace from me for the guy who funded PACs that altered Mamdani’s skin and darkened his beard — straight-up Islamophobia — then wants applause for being civil. Sorry, not sorry.
“We’re not them”? You’re right. We’re not billionaires funding fascism with PR gloss.

Not sure this is a win. A deal was struck by Dems to stave off an even worse deal…
“Ohio officials approved a new congressional map that improves Republicans’ odds of picking up two more U.S. House seats.”

Good grief —she is a terrible candidate. Do you not remember her last race? Schumer spent 100M for a blowout.
She is NOT the candidate the Dems need in KY.

We shall see. I’d like to be wrong but billionaires flock together when it comes to stopping progressive movements.
FYI Adams won by 1% with the help of big money (including Bloombergs & other NY biz leaders). Organizers and activists on the ground always knew Adams was a crook and faux-Democrat.

Ok he is “less evil” than Loeb, Ackman etc. —but still a billionaire buying & influencing elections on both sides of the aisle.
Please don’t be surprised when he gives to an Adams super pac— like the Cuomo one who sent out mailers darkening Zorhan and giving him a “fuller” beard.

NYers haven’t forgotten how the billionaire mayor thought he was a king, changing the rules & buying a third term.
Facts: Bloomberg endorsed and donated to Adams 2021 mayoral campaign. Bloomberg contributed to Adams' legal defense fund in 2024.
Right on guns but mostly a bad billionaire too.

Why are platforming Hochul? She is awful for working class in NYC and is what is wrong with the Dem party and the corrupt NY Dem machine. She is not of the same caliber or value of the other Dem Gov.

One of the Dems that needs to be replaced ASAP. He doesn’t deserve to rep NYC. He is funded by Big Real Estate and a political power broker “delivering” Latino votes in the Bronx to pols like Adams. Stays in power because of NYC Tammany Hall-Dem Machine that keeps out non machine Dem challengers.

Did you ask @ritchietorres.bsky.social why he
works harder for AIPAC than the Bronx—his district is one of the poorest in the country.
He’s another NY pol fueling the negative Dem brand identity nationally as the neoliberal party of donors & corp: Schumer, Gilibrand, Adams, Cuomo, etc

You should share with a disclaimer. “Leon” is taking a big hit—Tesla is sinking faster in Europe than here. Hope no one is falling for this “I’m rational rehab bullshit”. The Doge Chainsaw Massacre is still happening…

You hail from the wing of the NY Dem party that works for their donors. You were never that great to begin with, so no one should expect that you will rise to the occasion now. Bronx, NY deserves better.

Abundance by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social is repackaged Dem neoliberalism. He’s carrying water for the tech overlords, mainstreaming their SF astroturfing “Abundance” trickle down housing scam. Density of market rate gilded glass towers DON’T bring rents down, just the opposite.
