If you own a home with a basement, attic, or backyard, chances are you’ve thought about using it to earn a little extra income or as space for a loved one. We want to make it as easy (and affordable) as possible for you to do that. NYC recently legalized ADUs — but for too many New Yorkers, they’re still tied up in bureaucracy and expense. We're fixing that. Our new toolkit at nyc.gov/aduforyou includes preapproved building plans and a financing calculator so you can get right to building. If we want New York to remain a city for everyone, we have to make it easier for homeowners to stay here. ADU for You will do just that.

hello the 2026 @HillValleyForum agenda see you next week

In the Trump era, many young women were attracted to the New Right because it felt less constrained, stuffy, and dogmatic than the left. Perhaps it was. A little sexism was a small price to pay for entry to a party without Woke-scolds policing the playlist. For women especially, contempt for feminist pieties, if deftly channeled, could be one’s ticket to stardom. Now, a growing group of right-wing women — both prominent personalities and loyal foot soldiers — are waking up to find that their inclusion in the MAGA movement was contingent: Sexism wasn’t merely the price of entry; it was the theme of the party. According to the conservative women @SamAdlerBell has spoken to over the past several months — all at one point active in MAGA, some active still — anxiety and disgust over sexism has been steadily growing since the beginning of Trump’s second term. It’s spiked since last fall, they say, when the movement began openly embracing Nick Fuentes, whose visceral hatred of women makes the male chauvinists of the past seem enlightened. “These men have made it very, very clear that they will ‘rape, kill, and die’ for Nick Fuentes,” Anna, who wrote for popular right-wing outlets, says. MAGA is “insisting that women subject themselves entirely to male authority, while advertising that male authority will be cruel and vicious and fickle.” Some of the right-wing women Adler-Bell spoke to feel a certain amount of regret over her complicity. “​​Shame and guilt and just embarrassment,” Anna says, “Just like how could I tolerate this and participate in this?” Adler-Bell reports on the women defecting from the New Right over its sexism: nymag.visitlink.me/7Gba1-

As ever, you can read the funny/subversive/detailed story (in this case, about the 'deal guy' ethics that helped blow up the AI deal at the Pentagon) in @PirateWires, OR: you can read the peanut-gallery'd/watered down version in @WSJ one week later! To their credit, that's faster than usual!
