The New York City Department of Sanitation says that the starting pay for emergency shovelers during this blizzard is now $30/hr.

Mayor Mamdani is sending price signals to the labor market.

The Mamdani admin push for more emergency snow shovelers has resulted in double the number of workers in the pool from last month.

Fingers crossed.

NYPres Nurses have ratified their contract! Congratulations to the over 15,000 @nynurses who used the power of striking to take back the power in their workplace. I’ll say it now until forever - New York is a Union Town! ✊🏿

It’s so funny how centrist democrats are just Bush-era Republicans.

NEW interview: @ClaireForNY on Her Bid for Congress in NY-7 Listen at Max Politics wherever you get podcasts /1

Congratulations to all the nurses who held the line & won a contract that puts patients over profits and dignity over corporate greed. Their victory came from a belief that our healthcare system should serve people, not shareholders. When working people organize, they win.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE WE STOP THIS MADNESS 🤷 HOW MANY 🤷

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said that while New Yorkers are right to be angry about the possibility of a raise in property taxes amid budget discussions, their anger should be directed at Gov. Kathy Hochul for refusing to raise taxes on the wealthy.

Emmy is at the heart of our neighborhood’s ICE response. She's also my friend, a lifelong Ridgewood resident, and my former colleague at Make the Road NY. Together, we fought for our coworkers when bargaining our union’s contract and against ICE raids across the city.

Bernie in LA: Americans are sick & tired of Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder, spending $20 million to defeat the billionaires tax. Mr. Brin: You’re worth $245 billion. Since Trump was elected you became $100 billion richer. Stop threatening people. Pay your fair share of taxes.

This is yet another example of a private institution capitulating to the federal government’s assault on transgender rights. In the face of these attacks, New York City will continue to be a refuge for the LGBTQIA+ community.

This is Linda Davis, a special education teacher who was killed in a car crash involving ICE agents The agents didn’t render aid. She was minutes from her school and bled to death in her car. They didn’t offer aid to Renee Good or Alex Pretti either. Say her name too.

Tonight I stood w/ @nycdsa in demanding life saving gender affirming care for trans NYers. These demands come on the day that NYU Langone cowardly announced that they are denying youth this right but this isn’t the end. When trans rights are under attack? Stand up fight back✊🏿❤️

When even the Wall Street Journal is saying it…

Governor @KathyHochul’s fanatical opposition to raising taxes on the wealthiest 2%, who are paying less tax than ever, is another indicator of her fossilized political judgment and fundamental conservatism

Shame on NYU Langone for choosing to end gender-affirming care and kick trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee to a tyrant is bad;

Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality. Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called

Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson. He came to our Gaza solidarity encampment in a wheelchair to show support.
