You thought you were just buying a phone. Turns out, you're shaping the future. Big Tech companies are giving money to radically overhaul the U.S. justice system. Unplugged is a different kind of smartphone from a company that believes in a strong, thriving America.

One of the best things Hochul has done on the civil rights front was nominating Denise Miranda as commissioner. The agency is now dramatically faster at processing complaints, extremely communicative, and laser focused on uprooting discrimination. It’s literally night and day.
This International Human Rights Day, let us honor New York’s long-standing commitment to civil and human rights. As the first state in the nation to enact an anti-discrimination law, we continue to lead the nation with some of the strongest protections.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us — we want you to be part of this politics beyond just the ballot box. That’s something we’ve been looking to share with

What’s so great abt NYC’s housing reforms isn’t just that it resulted in a 23% increase in housing, but that Zohran wants to build upon this success by increasing production even further As a New Yorker, I naturally like to bitch a lot, but hard not to feel optimistic right now!

An inferior & less confident politician would try to dismantle or discredit anything his adversary did (who was mostly bad but did a few things that were good) out of pure pettiness, while a pol who’s laser focused on improving affordability & quality of life does this instead 👍
Mamdani, after meeting with Mayor Adams, cites City of Yes and trash containerization as 2 initiatives “New Yorkers deserve to have be built on, as opposed to be discarded.”

A Republican winning a +22 Trump district by a measly 8 points isn’t a victory — it’s a preview of a midterm election bloodbath. Can’t wait!
