Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%.
The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year.
It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Congratulations to the graduates of East River Academy, who earned their diplomas while incarcerated on Rikers Island. No matter where your journey began, this milestone belongs to you. You earned it, and I'm cheering you on.

It's funny that the newspapers treat DSA-endorsed candidates like they are Bastille-storming revolutionaries when in reality DSA members are almost comically procedure oriented

The stuff going around about how conservative art isn’t good/doesn’t exist is interesting because what it means, which is true, is that the American conservative wing 2026 is completely incapable of making good art. There are several reasons for this but they boil down to the absence of vision 1/3

Still reading up on the details, but seems like Mamdani managed to do excellent politics & disciplined budgeting to close a massive (inherited!) funding gap -- all without slashing services & while communicating effectively to New Yorkers throughout the process. Pretty good!
