Finally we’re ready to have this discussion

I knew the Council Speaker was rich. I had no idea it was *this* kind of rich. She’s disclosed NONE of it: “Tens of millions of dollars, including a $22 million Hamptons mansion, several luxury condos on the Upper East Side, and company private jets.” levernews.com/the-quiet-fort…

Not saying you should be, but IF you are concerned about AOC keeping her word on Iron Dome, probably the best way to ensure she does is to help elect two staunchly pro-Palestine NYC co-FSIO’s (Claire and Darializa) who she will be working closely with and compared to every week.

Touch me! It's so easy to leave me, all alone with the memory of my days in the sun.

Speaker Julie Menin’s preliminary budget proposal would result in slashing billions of dollars from agency budgets, which would force the City to cut services. Double counting previously identified savings, overestimating revenues, and exaggerating debt service savings does nothing to close a deficit. This $6 billion proposal asks Albany for just one action – class size mandate relief. It refuses to address the deeper structural imbalance between the City and the State, or to increase taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and most profitable corporations. It effectively ensures this structural deficit will continue indefinitely. Any proposal that claims we can close this gap without significant new revenue is unrealistic.

Israel First Josh Shapiro remains the WORST 2028 frontrunner

Bruce @springsteen declares "War" against Donald Trump during his defiant tour opener in Minneapolis. "The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock & roll in dangerous times. We are here in celebration and defense of our American ideals, democracy, our Constitution, and our sacred American promise. The America that I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years, that’s been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration."

Just yesterday the Netanyahu govt adopted a law to hang Palestinians who commit certain crimes in the West Bank but not Israeli settlers who commit the same crimes. Why are we sending a blank check of billions of $ to a govt that pursues these & other blatantly racist policies? theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

AOC's commitment to not arming Israel at all during the NYC-DSA forum will echo across the Democratic Party. She's considered a mainstream politician and serious contender for president. Expect no money for Israel military aid, including "defensive," to be a common litmus test.

AOC is now the only 2028 Presidential contender who supports an arms embargo but she won’t be for long. Anyone who wants to run in the progressive lane will have to support it.

AOC has met our demands. The left of DSA, against a great deal of opposition from the right, has successfully extracted a commitment to support a FULL arms embargo. Pressure works!
