Israel is deliberately starving millions in Gaza, blocking food, baby formula, and aid. They are putting civilians and children at the brink of death.
This man-made famine and genocide must end.

Ex-Israeli general hits out at government for 'killing babies as a pastime' in Gaza
Around 14,000 babies face severe malnutrition if a lot more aid trucks don’t reach the Palestinian enclave soon, a U.N. aid group said.

Alcatraz won’t reopen.
But it’s the rhetorical point: prisons should be cruel and punitive and—importantly—isolating.
All things we know, from piles of work, don’t actually promote safety.
But it’s example #1963 of how “tough on crime” is never abt safety, but abt performative cruelty.

Be like Maria and sign the Vision Zero community agreement!
Fatal crashes have increased in the City of Pittsburgh by 43% since 2018. This is unacceptable! I was proud to sign onto the Vision Zero community agreement to do my part to make our streets safer for all of us.

In all of 2024 Pittsburgh didn’t lose a single teenager (age 13-17) to gun violence. Truly a remarkable bit of work that is largely under reported in conversations around public safety in the city.

My goal as Mayor is to make Pittsburgh affordable for all.
We're building and preserving more affordable housing than any Mayor in 20 years.
We're holding landlords accountable.
We created 150 new homeowners.
We moved 150 land bank properties.
And we're just getting started.

Yeah I’m voting for the only Mayoral candidate who is standing up for trans people!
UPMC's decision to cower to Trump and deny patients health care isn't just about the trans community.
We know what’s coming next: attacks on emergency care for immigrants, reproductive care, Medicaid access, services for disabled people, and other life-saving treatments. (1/2)

Team Gainey isn't shy about being less accessible to developers.
Deputy Mayor Jake Pawlak: “What they are talking about is ... calling in political favors to get preferred treatment. That’s something that’s been done a lot in the past that we absolutely don’t do.”

That’s right. I answer to the People of Pittsburgh — not the predatory landlords and developers who only care about their profit margins, raising rents, keeping our neighbors from being able to buy a home, and pricing our friends and family out.
New: We found that 80% of campaign donations from real estate developers and construction are going to Corey O'Connor and his bid to unseat Ed Gainey as Pittsburgh mayor.
Why?
One big developer says with Gainey, "Nobody answers [our] phone calls." www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...

If Corey understood his old council district, the mayor’s zoning legislation, or even the existing zoning code, he would know that Greenfield and Lincoln Place are almost entirely R1 and R2, so wouldn't be impacted by IZ hardly any, if at all. www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...
