Gonna be a huge weekend for everyone looking for special "I voted" stickers in NYC.
Take part in early voting Saturday and get the Halloween sticker. Vote Sunday and get the Marathon sticker.
Which one will you choose?
Palantir, Trump's AI surveillance arm, signed a contract last year with the company that runs the @MTA's tap-and-go system OMNY.
We don't know what rider data is shared with Palantir.
Why is one of ICE's biggest collaborators being allowed free rein on our trains and buses?
Every time you tap your smartphone to ride the MTA, your data is collected by Cubic Corporation — the military contractor partnering with Palantir.
We don't know what they share with Palantir, but we do know we don't want to be surveilled or tracked by an ICE collaborator.
If you don't want your date handed over to Palantir or ICE, add your name to demand that the MTA cut ties & kick Palantir off our trains and buses.

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

Mamdani said just now that Linda Tigani will stay in her role for 1 more yr:
"We have agreed to extend her term to next summer," he says, adding that the admin is working w the City Council & will have Chris Alexander "pick up the mantle" as the next commish after Tigani leaves.
NEW: @NYCMayor seeks to oust head of Commission on Racial Equity, over objections from City Council’s BLAC and some faith leaders, @JeffCMays reports:

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. – at Brooklyn, NY

Safe, clean subway stations shouldn't be a heavy lift.
Our East New York members are starting to organize to make sure Euclid Av Subway stop gets fixed up!
So appreciative of @CCA_NY for organizing this, 2027 is the year we pass common sense sentencing reform laws like the Earned Time Act, the Second Look Act, and the Marvin Mayfeild Act - let’s go!!
There are over 30,000 individuals incarcerated in NY's prison system. On Friday, I joined my future colleagues and @communities_ny @CCA_NY at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison for women. We talked to a number of women who have been sentenced to die behind bars, and witnessed resilience and hope in the face of dire circumstances.
Our current sentencing laws do not take into account the human capacity for change and redemption. That must change.

Congratulations to President Lula on a stunning, historic re-election.
A political comeback that will be remembered for generations to come.
This is a victory for the people, for the planet and for peace.

On Mayor Mamdani telling people to vote for her on the WFP line instead of the Democratic line, Hochul says, "Okay by me, as long as they vote."
Lying @lawler4ny — the former utility lobbyist— voted to fast track the construction of pipelines and data centers. We’re here on the first day of early voting to hit the doors and vote him out! Vote WFP!
COPA gives non-profits that specialize in turning around distressed buildings and preserving affordable housing a chance to buy buildings in very bad condition ahead of speculators. Two things are clear this is not controversial and @SandyforCouncil is a real one!
New York’s real estate industry spent six years fighting COPA. The controversial housing bill just passed City Council anyway — but not without some major concessions, reports @benmiller_NYC.

Thank you to the @NYCCouncil for finding a fair solution to this complicated issue! The commitment to the rights of workers, animals and park goers was on full display during yesterday’s vote.
Breaking News: The New York City Council passed a horse-drawn carriage ban. The bill will likely face a court challenge before being implemented in 2028. nyti.ms/4yxTggd
More than 1,000 community and labor allies have joined @nynurses in calling for the reinstatement of a member who was suspended for talking about safe staffing.
We’re joining that call because #SafeStaffingSavesLives

🚨 RIDERS FORCE AN END TO MTA'S EAGLE TEAMS
Here's what happened:
1) Last week, an MTA EAGLE team assaulted a rider in Brownsville over $3.00: gothamist.com/news/brooklyn-…
2) We released an op-ed with @thenyic calling for their immediate disbandment: nydailynews.com/2026/10/17/e…
3) Today, MTA announced the suspension of all EAGLE team activity on buses: gothamist.com/news/mta-suspe…
THIS is what organized riders make possible!
