I logged into my account from the middest of Midtown Manhattan and received this message and now my benefits are being withheld. it cannot be overstated how much I fucking hate it here @NYSLabor get it togeth

spurred partly by my reporting, the NYC Council is holding an oversight hearing on violence at homeless shelters today, & the committee report cites my @Gothamist/@WNYC investigation on chronic chaos at the Tillary St. Women’s Shelter in Downtown Brooklyn: gothamist.com/news/homeless-…

This isn’t the full story… Video that’s was provided is a doctored up edited video by Larry He campaign in a desperate attempt to get attention. Members of Larry He campaign are caught on full video stating “Fall down I’ll film it” in Cantonese.
A 73-year-old working for GOP state Sen. Steve Chan’s campaign was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged with assault after getting in an altercation with a vol for Dem opponent Larry He. Video shared by a source, and NYPD confirmed details, on 86th Street in Bensonhurst.

People will honestly work to destroy your reputation just so they can steal your work, because destroying Black celebrity worship is what Antonio & I have been doing for a decade.
FD Signifier explains that the point of his video is to cut down on celebrity worship, especially among Black people. He points to Black celebrities people love without paying attention to their politics. According to him , It hurts to see where Jasmine Crockett is right now. It hurts to see Jay-Z's views on capitalism. And it hurts to see what Kanye West has become. His argument is that you can criticize them and still love their art. Killer Mike, who dissed him in a freestyle, is his example. He said , people are shocked to learn Mike is still one of his favorite rappers, and part of why he made the video was to reconnect with the music he loved so much. He even admits he almost feels bad. In the last few months Mike has been doing interviews with prominent Democrats, which FD jokes is his "my bad" moment for Stacey Abrams. He does credits that shift to people kicking Mike's back, and he gives Mike props for being willing to change. According to him , Mike putting himself in a position to be criticized shows he isn't too far gone. Many of the Black leaders in that "misleadership" role refuse to be held accountable at all. He respects Mike for that, and hopes the guy who once said "I'm going to burn this motherf***er down" is still in there.

The City University relies more heavily on part-time professors as a portion of its teaching workforce than the national average. CUNY adjuncts say they’re struggling without their paychecks. buff.ly/WIWf7sR

A master class.
When you lose the legislative argument, you deflect to California drama and Twitter conspiracy theories. Typical. ​Let’s teach you how real governance and policy advocacy actually work in New York. 🧵👇

NEW: @NYCMayor taps NAACP New York leader to chair NYC racial equity commission “This is a great continuation of a conversation to tackle some really calcified problems that didn’t start with Mamdani, and he’s actually trying to make sure some of them end with him.” -- @Dr_CMGreer thegrio.com/2026/10/28/exclu…

I FOILed for the number of closed public bathrooms in city parks. The data showed some have been shuttered so long the city couldn’t remember when they were last open. The total? 68. Some have no plans for repairs. The average cost? $5 to $7 million. thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…

Defending Chris Alexander’s record as “fantastic” is wild when his tenure at OCM was an objective catastrophe for ADOS New Yorkers. ​The MRTA promised equity and restorative justice. Instead, OCM delivered regulatory paralysis, lawsuits, and broken promises. 🧵👇🏽
Zohran is not trying to "oust" anyone. According to New York City Charter, Chapter 81, Section 3404, her 3 year term started in August 2023 and therefore expired in August 2026. Christopher Alexander is a fantastic new choice. Worked for the NY State Senate and now the NAACP.

Look at criminal enforcement: the city still refuses to disaggregate demographic data under the Charter. ​If City Hall disaggregated enforcement metrics, they’d have to admit ADOS New Yorkers continue to bear the overwhelming brunt of stops, citations, and overincarceration.

City Hall wants a loyal party operator who will quietly neutralize our unique justice claim. ​Alexander will sanitize LLs 91 & 92 until it’s just broad, non-specific municipal charity that bypasses the descendants of chattel slavery entirely. We see the play, stop gaslighting.
