i stand with tenants and socialists against crypto-libertarianism always

use federal funds and take them out of the 1.5T defense budget then, done. it’s a rounding error on that scale.
It’s wild when people don’t know the basic facts about the problems they think they can solve. This person has no idea what the NYCHA repair backlog even is.

THIS. If you don't know the history of YIMBYism and its origins in the world of Bay Area libertarianism & tech, you damn well should. It's been astroturfed Reaganism from the beginning
This is the woman, who, with funding from the CEO of Stripe, founded the first “YIMBY” lobbying org. Everything we are seeing in the proposed demolition of the public housing sitting on the most expensive land in the country is downstream from this ideology.

when people say that they mean things like “we should take things away from rich people and give them to poor people, because poor people are still people, even if it makes rich people mad and line go down.” don’t be obtuse.
just heard someone say "people are more important than the economy" and it occurred to me that some people genuinely believe that others care about the economy because they like numbers going up and not because it drives living standards for the population

stay on topic we were talking about funding the reconstruction of nycha
Cool. Now fund the other 99.9% of the $80 billion deficit.

somehow that $80 billion deficit isn’t as big a deal when its time to pay for nypd to be the world’s 7th largest army

also pretty sure it was just $8b actually but whatever point stands

how about the money nypd spends on submarines and israeli spyware for starters?
Okay. With what money? Would it be cheaper than demolishing and rebuilding? People just say shit on here and never once in their lives think about real estate or municipal finance. “Oh just raise taxe-” you can’t feasibly raise them enough to fund the NYCHA backlog.

sounds like the city should renovate rather than privatize people wouldn’t even oppose full reconstruction if it was not an obvious trojan horse for privatization
the public housing: I’m full of mold and rats and would be considered uninhabitable by most

tenants: we want to keep our public housing leftists: people deserve to keep their public housing yimbys: won’t somebody please think of the poor developers who would benefit from privatization? how dare anyone think they’re unscrupulous actors wanting to displace the poor!
The disconnect here is that NYC actually HAS substantial publicly owned housing. The problem is it is in desperate need of being torn down and rebuilt and whenever anyone tries to do that the tenants and left NIMBYs team up to insist they continue to live in squalor.

The science is that trans women are male. You’re like an anti vaxer who says they did their own research lol using science as a guise to push pseudoscience.

another great sign that NPC is in the right you can really just inverse everything these guys have to say about the left and come away with the anti-liquidationist position
The best way to build political power in this country is to kneecap the more progressive candidates right before the election. Genius move here.

Just FYI: Josh Turek is backed by The Bench, part of the same donor network as Adam Jentleson’s Searchlight Institute. Jentleson, a former Fetterman staffer, has been pushing the Democratic Party to move right on trans issues ever since his partner transitioned and left him.

so basically there will never be a non partisan bureaucratic apparatus again. no need to act like the other thing is even a possibility. it isn’t. the people with the ability to make it happen do not want it to happen and nothing is going to change their minds about that.
if there isn't disproportionate, life-destroying criminal sanction for the people responsible for this in 2029 there will just never be a non-partisan bureaucratic apparatus ever again. I've seen this happen a couple times in a couple places- it just doesn't come back.

absolutely punked fireable in and of itself but it seems he’s exactly as soft as she thinks he is
“Things got a little hot for me this week...Anyone hiring?" NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch jokes at the Al Smith dinner, referring to Mamdani allies calling on him to fire her. Mamdani is sitting on the dais a few seats away from Tisch.

“Operation Safe California,” a 45 day surge during CA elections. There’s a surge everywhere including Central Valley, but ICE has sent officers to SD where they are overwhelming communities, and will be working up to SF from there going after anybody. washingtonexaminer.com/polic…

ICE shot someone in the Bronx and SRG has the hospital that the victim is being treated in surrounded. Zohran's police are protecting would-be ICE murderers. Enough promises. We need action -- see you in the streets!
Mayor Mamdani reiterates that disbanding the SRG is a priority after last night’s protests.

stan behavior doesn’t get policy change, only pressure does. if he only gets shit from zionists he will continue to only respond to zionist priorities.
The pro Palestinian movement is a legitimate cause that has been hijacked by extremist with no actual goals outside tearing down anyone sympathetic to cause. Crazy people
