Once again Eric Adams prioritizing his fetish for importance and power over the needs of NYC and proving he is one of the biggest tools in govt.

In this article Eric Adams tries to say he didn’t “cut” anything because enrollment is down, but programs are being cut. @NYCMayor is a disingenuous liar. nypost.com/2022/06/13/nyc-ma…
Today our school told parents that, because of @NYCCouncil and @NYCMayor Adams’ budget cuts to schools, there will be no music program for the children next year. Having students coming up to me asking “is this true? You won’t be here next year?” was heartbreaking.

Eric Adams is an absolute joke of a mayor.
“As we stand in the shadow of the Freedom Tower, we are freeing ourselves of these destructive pieces of machinery that are on our streets. They will be CRUSHED today so that they can never terrorize our city again.”

Good riddance to illegal dirt bikes and ATVs.

This is inexcusable. 5 male officers harassing, fining & mocking 3 immigrant women vendors
One woman is Elsa, whose arrest in 2019 opened the city's eyes to the life of a street vendor
These mothers are doing honest work, selling mangoes & churros to provide for their children – at Broadway Junction, Brooklyn

The door was required by law to be self-closing but was broken. The space heater was being used in a building with four complaints about lack of heat in 2021. It's owned by a group of investors that includes a company co-founded by a member of Adams' own transition team.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams says there's a key message to take from devastating Bronx fire: "Close the door."

Additionally, workers on so called “new media” streaming projects get paid less, even on productions with budgets that rival or exceed those of traditionally released blockbusters.
Streaming is here. "New Media" isn't so new anymore.

In 2017, Michaela Coel turned down Netflix's $1 million offer for "I May Destroy You" because they wouldn’t allow her to retain any percentage of the copyright. Tonight, she won an Emmy for Best Writing (Limited Series): bit.ly/3AstfS5

Today, my colleagues and I visited Rikers.
There we witnessed a crisis of mass incarceration.
Incarcerated people without access to toilets, basic medical care, or legal representation.
This crisis is one of our own making.
We must decarcerate now.🧵
“Streaming is experimental” is bullshit, but streaming providers have built lower “new media” rates for union crew into their growth strategy.
Lower rates means more content for less $$$ even if not all of it succeeds, and fledgling platforms need original content.

So media companies want to keep “new media” rates because it’s “built-in” exploitation that allows them to keep more revenue and continue growing their platforms on the back of workers.
Eliminate the lower rates and the economics of their growth strategy falls apart.
