I'm not a cheerleader or a rule follower and I don't wait in line, fall in line, or toe the line for anyone. People say I'm difficult; I say skill issue on their part.

Because of course Corey is hanging out with notorious right wing southside bar owner Richie Cupka.

It's not hard to dunk on Corey when his game is this weak, but well-played, Mayor.

🚨Friday reminder🚨

Corey O'Connor is working with the same Republican firm that ran Steve Zappala's Republican general election campaign.
OCBS NEWS The poll appears to be part of an effort to encourage County Controller Corey O'Connor to take on Gainey in the Democratic primary. One year before the 2025 spring primary, a coefficient poll taken for the Republican firm of Long Nyquist found that incumbent Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey is in a tie with County Controller and former City Councilman Corey O'Connor. 10:28 C •• 5G+ TRIBE Wren, 38, of Greensburg, ran Zappala's campaign as an associate with the Republican political consultant firm Long Nyquist & Associates. Zappala said he never even met the firm's principal, Todd Nyquist, until four months ago after losing to Dugan in the primary. Zappala had been unprepared, Wren and Corbett said. In most past elections, the district attorney had no opponent. In 2019, Zappala handily defeated his first challengers in decades without breaking much of a sweat.

🚨FUN FACT PITTSBURGH: Long Nyquist who jump started the O'Connor campaign in earnest by polling on his behalf last summer also managed Steve Zappala's Republican general election campaign.

The avalanche of cognitive dissonance required to protest against the same people who are directing, funding, and supporting the campaign of the candidate you support for Mayor should be studied.

Could never be me.

No surprise Corey O'Connor is proud to be supported by the Pro-Housing Pittsburgh member who doxxed me. And he sees nothing wrong with that behavior as a consequence for engaging in direct democracy. (Not to mention his support from the Beacon Coalition which engages in the same)

As people start to pay more attention to the judicial race with the committee endorsement coming up, I'd like to remind folks of why the Bar Association ratings should be taken only with the finest grain of salt. open.substack.com/pub/canibeme...
The Allegheny County Bar Association (ACBA) is first and foremost a professional association for attorneys. It exists to advocate for them and protect their interests. Attorneys benefit the most from the courts maintaining the status quo AND they benefit from having cozy relationships with the Judges they appear before. Why does this matter? Because the overwhelming majority of people appearing before common pleas Judges are not represented by counsel. These folks are called pro se litigants and they operate at huge disadvantage in the Court of Common Pleas. Unlike attorneys who not only know the law, but who also know the Judges, court staff, Sheriffs, procedures, and operations, pro se litigants are left to flounder. They are usually the poorest and most marginalized litigants and are very frequently Black or Brown.

Again... the point isn't the $$. In local politics, $$ crosses party lines all the time. Why is Kent Gates-a Republican strategist-running a mtg, outlining strategy, and discussing polling?

Corey may not be a Republican, but he's sure as hell happy to be their puppet.

Our values are ingrained in each of us, and we work together because we know that we are stronger as a collective than as individuals working alone. As such we hope people will not be made to be afraid to engage in the political process and join our commitment to doing the actual work of making our region better for all of us.

Join us in realizing our collective vision to make Pittsburgh and Allegheny County truly the Most Livable Place for All of US and demand elected officials/ candidates, and surrogates condemn this behavior and refrain from engaging in this behavior going forward.

Efforts to intimidate and silence citizens in order to prevent them from engaging with their government must not be tolerated by our elected officials. We call on candidates and electeds in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to condemn these tactics and to retrain from engaging with organizations and/or individuals who in any way seek to threaten, harass, or doxx citizens participating in direct democracy.

The 1Hood Power team believe strongly that Pittsburgh and Allegheny County can be a place where every single person has What they need to thrive. We wear our commitment to fighting for this vision on our sleeves - and our hoodies, jackets, and t-shirts - because we are proud to be in this fight alongside so many other members of our community.

Recently, a member of the Hood Power team was doxxed online for engaging in advocacy for affordable housing through inclusionary zoning. This is reflective of an emerging pattern to post private information of women and marginalized organizers in an effort to stifle their participation in democracy.

1Hood Power is deeply troubled by the recent trend of "doxxing" (releasing an individual's private information online without their permission, including home addresses, work information, etc.) as a response to citizens engaging in direct democracy.

"Because what some last week cynically called 'the activism-industrial complex' is actually just Community showing up for each other."

I wrote about that planning commission meeting and what we are really arguing over. open.substack.com/pub/canibeme...
The Choice is Yours You can get with this, or you can get with that... how a zoning fight is a proxy battle over differing visions for Pittsburgh's future If you're even somewhat politically or civically aware in Pittsburgh you may have heard about the epic 11 hour planning commission meeting last week.
