I'm posting this at 5:55pm here in #NYC

Fighting Oligarchy in Brooklyn, New York (LIVE at 6PM ET)

"The oligarchs are united.

With our corrupt campaign finance system, they will spend whatever it takes to defeat the working class.

Together, we can beat them.

Tune in LIVE to Bernie Sanders' Brooklyn town hall on affordability with #ZohranMamdani "

It's about 9:15 am in #NYC.
In about 45 minutes my wife and I will board an A train in uptown Manhattan and travel to City Hall, at the bottom of the island, where a noonday rally of #SeniorsForZohran will be held.
My wife is scheduled to speak.
Security and stamina permitting, I'll try to document the event.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams faces a decision: A Trump administration post to drop his reelection campaign

[Desperation rises among the elites who control #NYC as they face the very real and mounting prospect of the city being led by a democratic socialist.]

Meet Jerry Nadler’s 26-year-old challenger

Now that Jerry Nadler, a 78yo Democrat
who has represented the quintessential Manhattan district between Union Square and Central Park for 50 years,
has announced that he is retiring
we need to look more closely at this "strongly progressive" challenger who,
given the nature of the district,
is highly unlikely to seek the endorsement of #NYCDSA

So an immigrant woman living in #NYC stops by a newsstand every day on her way to work. She never buys anything, she just looks at the newspaper headlines and continues on her way.

Eventually, the man who runs the newsstand asks her what the deal is. "You never buy a paper, why are you always looking at them?"

She says, "I'm looking for an obituary."

He says, "Obituaries are printed toward the back. They're never on the front page."

She says, "This one will be."

#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators.

“There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids."

How I won Zohran's NYC Scavenger Hunt ft. #ZohranMamdani!

I've only watched the first 15 minutes so far but this seems like a decent vlog/guerilla video documentation of one person's experience participating in yesterday's #MamdaniForMayorNYC scavenger hunt.
#NYC history! Buses! Subways! Pedestrian traffic! Route changes! #MayorMamdani-generated crowds!

Earlier this month I helped one of NYC's most iconic neon shops move from their longtime Tribeca home to Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The company has a new owner Dave, who I like, an while its bittersweet to see them move out of Manhattan, Brooklyn is way better for artists at this point anyways.
Its been way fun and sort of a dream come true for me to bend for them for the month while their main bender, Jimmy is on vacation. Definitely feels good and validating to hear their designers tell me my bending looks pretty. They have lots of fun designs for me to make, and as per usual- the neat commercial work is feeding my art ideas- leading to a flurry of new art sketches partially inspired by some of the bending projects they are giving me.
Was fun loading that ol truck up with the bombarder an tables an way over a ton of tubing an whatnot. I hope they have some fun parties once they get more moved into the Brooklyn space.

A little "Small Time" thing I bent for them for a comic book store. Its been so fun filling in while they are between shops and their bender is on vacation. I had fun making it, and their Art Director complimented me on it. The pink "neo ruby" glass is provided by them, as is all the glass for the things I make for them

The Old Truck loaded up with the entire aging table, bombarding transformer, collection of vacuum pumps, bombarding table, glass scraps and lots of various tools amidst the once industrial Tribeca neighborhood- now almost all art galleries, an luxury event spaces. White rag tied to the back of the strapped down table makes it all legal :)

If you're a #Democrat and you pivot right to somehow appeal to #MAGA morons, you:

1. suppress left turnout
2. pick up zero MAGA
3. prove you stand for nothing
4. and lose

However

If you stand for something

If you stop playing idiotic political games advanced by political "strategists" who couldn't figure out the best line to stand in at the grocery store

Your appeal grows

Everywhere

To everyone
