Our mayor doesn’t have New Yorkers’ backs, but we’ve got each other. And in June, we have the chance to replace Adams with someone actually committed to making our city the caring, welcoming home it can be. Who that next mayor is…that’s up to all of us. (Next mayoral forum is 2/13! jfrej.org/forum)

in any case, this keeps reminding me of how the nypd counterterrorism unit mobilized in force to sweep 3 unhoused people from their tents on a sidewalk while the sunset park subway shooter was 2 blocks away calling himself in because he got tired of waiting for them to find him.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Early this morning, an autonomous group of New Yorkers reclaimed an F train car, replacing ads with signage reading “A MAN WAS LYNCHED HERE” and Jordan Neely’s name, as a jury deliberates over whether to convict Daniel Penny, Neely’s killer, with his death last May.

Instead of eliminating parking mandates in NYC, the City Council will change City of Yes to create 3 tiers w/ different parking levels, source says. (Confirming @smaldo.bsky.social)
But no other huge changes seem likely for the housing plan before tmrw's vote:

if your political work begins & ends with presidential elections, now's the time to change that! join an org, find your lane, learn your local political landscape, figure out who's fighting, make a plan.
no matter who wins, there's going to be so much work to do.
