My mom made it clear, never allow someone to be disrespectful to you. That woman disrupted a meeting where all the participants were acting respectfully and cordially to get their issues heard,” Adams said during the interview. “She disrupted that, and then she was degrading on how she communicated with me. I’m not going to allow civil service to be disrespected, and I’m not going to be disrespected as the mayor of this city.

Dude doubled down and is posting through it.

It should not be a surprise to anyone that the app companies are going to try every alternative to paying the drivers more before actually doing it

The Secret Hand Behind the Women Who Stood by Cuomo? His Sister.

quote:

The menacing posts began cropping up on Twitter last September just hours after a former aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York sued him over sexual harassment claims.

The tweets attacked the aide, Charlotte Bennett, in starkly personal terms. �Your life will be dissected like a frog in a HS science class,� read one of the most threatening, which also featured a photo of Ms. Bennett dancing at a bar in lingerie.

The post was part of a thread written by Anna Vavare, a leader of a small but devoted group of mostly older women who banded together online to defend Mr. Cuomo from a cascade of sexual misconduct claims that led to his resignation in August 2021. But it turns out, her tweets had secretly been ordered up by someone even closer to the former governor�s cause: Madeline Cuomo, his sister.

...

Made up almost entirely of women inspired by Mr. Cuomo�s handling of the Covid pandemic, We Decide New York rapidly joined forces in spring 2021 to defend an increasingly isolated governor as traditional allies abandoned him. The group swarmed his critics on social media, sold Cuomo swag and pushed for due process.

But four of the group�s current leaders said in interviews that even as their work appeared organic to the outside world, Ms. Cuomo, 58, began privately exerting control. Starting just weeks after the group was formed, she steered its volunteer activists � many in their 50s, 60s and 70s � to prop up her brother and hound his accusers ever more aggressively.

It is unclear how much Mr. Cuomo knew about his sister�s efforts. He does not appear to have directly communicated with the supporters. But in the messages reviewed by The Times, some of them sprinkled with typos, Ms. Cuomo repeatedly stated that she was keeping her brother updated and acting at his direction.

�I just hung up w A again and he wants you both to know how much he appreciates ALL your hard work,� Ms. Cuomo wrote last September. A few days later: �He�s seeing everything.�

Wonder how many estranged parents are in that group.

By the way, mindbogglingly this was shared by the very same group:

My theory is that the mayor does not in fact have that much power and actually kind of sucks if you want to exercise power over the life of NYers, so only absolute loving morons even go for it.

i think it's true in the political aspirational field, no mayors go anywhere after running NYC.

But it's undeniable that the few policies this administration actually enacted have made life measurably worse for NYers, the main offenders I can think of rn being

1) bringing back stop and frisk & the plainclothes NYPD unit
2) allowing NYPD to forcefully hospitalize people for mental health right off the street as long as they look poor
3) de facto ending the universal preK program started by the previous admin by not renewing hundreds of contracts w/ school centers across the city
4) fighting tooth and nail to force city retirees onto Medicare advantage

I think expanded policing budgets+OT was inevitable, no admin is gonna meaningfully fight that in the current political structure. But he definitely escalated the stripping of social services in some key ways, and probably wants to do more in his term based on his general connections to real estate+charter school freaks.

It's less visible but he's broadly downsizing city government. Buildings is a real issue, it's so short staffed it cannot perform basic functions, which of course does outrageous damage to the city even on liberal metrics like gdp growth. He's limited on how much damage he can do to MTA but if sanitation collapses, hoo boy.

lol a building I have to visit regularly as part of work has had one of it's elevators out of service forever waiting for a dept of buildings inspection and sign off. It's incredibly inconvenient and recently the remaining elevator is failing regularly due to the extra load, effectively stranding people that can't use the stairs. I didn't connect the delay to current city admin budget shenanigans, that's wild.

"As of August 1, 2023, ALL food-related businesses in NYC must use rigid containers with secure lids when setting out trash for collection.

Any putrescible material � refuse or organic material � set out on the curb for collection MUST be in a container with a SECURE LID. The requirement does not apply to other recyclables (metal, glass, plastic, or paper) or to businesses that have waste collected from a loading dock."
