Catalina Cruz just knocked on my door.

She’s nice and working really hard on this campaign. She also seems to be knowledgeable about immigration issues. Her plan for the MTA seems odd though. I should have asked her good questions but I’m a bit hungover frankly

Context: Simone Zimmerman is working for Gisha, a rights group in Israel mostly focusing on Palestinian rights, and is involved with If Not Now in the US, another mostly Palestinian rights focused organization. She was recently interrogated at length by the Israeli General Security Service about her political views, when coming in through Sinai.

Apparently not all of this guy's constituents are particularly happy with his position:

In this thread, as you can see, he further defames her as a terrorism supporter.

Any chance someone could primary this shithead next year, assuming NYC council members have 2-year terms?

Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.

The Satmar and assorted anti-Zionist hasidic portion of Yeger's constituents won't make or break his primary/reelection chances.

of course the Satmars don't agree with this, they oppose the existence of israel on the grounds that the messiah hasn't returned

my question is, how do all of the assorted ultra-orthodox sects in Boro Park (and there are many of them) manage to agree on one candidate? the narcissism of small differences is very real there

edit: to answer your question, AA, NYC councilmembers have four-year terms, not two. they can only run for re-election once unless they're grandfathered in by term limit extensions passed under bloomberg, and the only remaining member who falls under that is on his way out

I just feel like, almost 8 years into your Governorship, "I hired a bunch of people and I'm spending some money now and a lot of people are working really hard" is cold comfort for anybody actually having to deal with the subway fuckups on a daily basis. And it sends mixed messages when half the time he insists that anything bad is the City's fault.

The suburbs of Western NY have elected some real winners to the House. Aside from Collins, within the last 11 years or so they've had Tom Reynolds, aka the guy who was running the Congressional page program which Mark Foley used to try and sexually assault a bunch of teenage boys, and Chris Lee, the guy who resigned after it was revealed he had used his real name while trying to pick up a girl on Craigslist--he even sent her shirtless photos of himself :v:

A lot of rich absentee "investment" property owners are a factor in the empty store front thing, by most accounts. I'm sure Amazon etc. is part of the story, too.

i work on the UES and my parents live there. the amount of empty storefronts there is embarrassing, to the point where an "upscale Vietnamese restaurant" is actually an improvement. all the attractions are frat bars and outposts of hip restaurants that started in other neighborhoods (Xi'an's, Meatball Factory, 5 Napkins, etc)

it doesn't help that giant glass gently caress-off condos have really taken off there and not even the old money types can be bothered to afford them, or at least not enough of them to actually occupy them for more than two months a year

speaking of which, my ex in China wants to make enough money so she can get a down payment for a million dollar-plus apartment mostly to invest in. for the first time in my life i'm glad things didn't work out between us

What's wrong with citibikes? Granted they've gotten like 60% more expensive then they started, but they are good thing and super convenient for getting both across manhattan and brooklyn.

i'm not canvassing for her because she isn't going to win. the "she has no experience" line and the comparisons to trump are very widespread beliefs in this state and in NYC in particular. even if you think the polls are underrepresenting some people, she's in way too deep of a hole to climb out of. i'll gladly vote for her but i'm not delusional enough to think she'll pull it off

i am, however, canvassing for Zellnor tomorrow
