New Yorkers, a storm is arriving today. Don't travel if you don't have to. Never drive or walk through floodwater. Call 911 if you are in danger, and report nonemergency issues to 311. Look out for one another and stay safe.

And 3 hurricanes in the Pacific, one just a few miles from hawaii. This is all part of global climate change and it's only going to get worse. Somehow humans choose to destroy the planet so they can have a chat bot.

But what about being able to look up a recipe that will use up your crisper drawer?? And CAT memes?? We NEED those features! 🫠 I'm so disappointed in us.

Mamdani really is a modern mayor. He understands the necessity of telling people, "Please don't do this stupid thing that could get you killed and could get first responders killed as they try to save you from your own stupid."

Zoran Mamdani is the absolute antithesis of Ted ‘Cancun’ Cruz. He actually cares about his constituents and is obviously doing his best to protect them from the ramifications of this potentially dangerous nor’easter.

I won’t watch most TikToks all the way through, but a weather PSA by this guy I give my undivided attention. And I don’t even live in the USA.

It’s a recognition that people wish their own politicians were this engaged with the wellbeing of the people they purport to serve. As has been repeatedly pointed out, Mamdani demonstrates that everyone else could have been doing this shit all along and just didn’t want to.

Everyone has been doing this shit, but without fanfare and adoration from adherents. In NYC, we routinely get weather warnings from utility companies who contact their customers directly. I understand recognizing an accomplishment, but not such profuse praise for a weather report available online.

I can’t wait to see the alligators come out of the sewers and prove all the naysayers wrong… should make some great videos as well…😉 too soon? You’re doing a great job!👏

Awaiting the trolls to come out and dis him as they've been doing with every other politician with a progressive approach... 🤬

For underpasses if you don’t have depth markers as they do in China (we don’t in the UK - yet a simple cheap amd effective solution to avoid drivers drowning) put them in. Will cost buttons

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for not making this announcement balancing on a windswept corner while wearing a ball cap, windbreaker, and go-go boots. You're a true professional.

I love this guy. Basically because he's doing his job and helping his fellow new yorkers. It's just refreshing to see somebody who has some human decency.

I have great respect for Mayor Mamdani. He is the epitome of what a true leader should be! He stands strong, his actions are for the good of the city. This is in stark comparison to the corrupt orange stain, his regime, the republican party & 6 of the 9 supreme court judges. VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN!

Good for you Mayor Mamdani! Being a proactive fact driven Mayor is what a good steward of this country needs to be! Thank-you for setting an example for excellence in this time of chaos in our country. Be the Beacon of light not the darkness of lies! 👏🫶🤝

It's fascinating to me to see a politician doing the job he's supposed to be doing. We do have some terrific Dems, but this guy really leans into the job. So refreshing, somewhere Mayor LaGuardia is smiling.

Climate disasters happen, and will do so ever more fiercely and frequently. With a leader like Mamdani at the helm, more people will survive. More people will be able and willing to help others. Humans are truly a social species - we WANT to bond and be part of community. I love this man.

He cares about and speaks to his people unlike Republicans. Maybe one or two Republicans have been good enough to do a speech like that to their people but if they have.... who?

I once had to bicycle through a storm by the sea. I went down 3-4 feet in a sinkhole and came away with an infected cut on my leg. This is no joke. Stay home if you can, only move if you must.

Well Done 👍 @mayor.nyc.gov

#DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against #DoorDash for underpaying #NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Just to point out this was brought to you by Capitalism, and now it's no longer theoretical but actual & it has arrived much sooner than expected. Everyone should have a 'getaway bag' packed & ready to go throughout the year. Your survival may very well depend upon it.

Ya know, I'm starting to wonder with how they don't know what that word means, socialism... Maybe they're just serious introverts? 🤷‍♂️ Nah nevermind, they can't stay out of other folks business so that can't be true. Just a little propaganda cause poppa gandered a little.

When I was studying Arabic at AUC in the Summer of 2013 I knew a man George Tarnow who worked for the US Department of State. Mr George Tarnow bragged every day that I knew him in Cairo that he buys sex from trafficked underage Egyptian girls. #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

I was disgusted, but because of the nature of events in Egypt that Summer, I could not contact the appropriate authorities at the time. Mr. Tarnow regularly solicited information about where to buy sex in Egypt from young Egyptian men at AUC. #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

Mr. Tarnow was in regular contact with Russians throughout his stay in Cairo. I understand part of his role at the State Dept. involved Russia, however I found his frequent calls in Russian & meetings with Russians around Cairo suspicious. #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

Agent George Tarnow told me, in the AUC garden that he beat and raped a 15 year old Egyptian girl who he had bought for sexual purposes until she cried. When I asked him if she had consented Agent Tarnow's answer was "whores." #Egypt #Ukraine #Russia #Whistleblower #HumanTrafficking

"Look out for one another and stay safe." That is precisely how a good leader says it. But then, he knows it's necessary to speak to, and bring out, our better selves, as opposed to the orange goblin that's fretting over his ballroom.

I still can't believe the MAYOR of NYC makes these announcements for his people. Oh Mr. Mayor how I wish you could run for POTUS!!!

He can run and win a senate seat. Is he the first mayor Trump has visited at Gracie Mansion! Trump seems to like him. The orange Ogre thinks Mandami's good looks,charm and ethics will rub off on him.

While this is absolutely great - leaders who communicate like both they & their audience are real, normal fucking people - I still find it hard to believe we've lowered our expectations of our politicians so far that this brand of simple, direct communication is both elating & surprising to us.

In Europe last week, where there were very low water levels - in 2013, it was extremely high. In Passau, I believe, the guide said that no one was allowed to live in the basement or first floor due to flooding. Housing had to be one the second floor. The vulnerable in NYC are always at highest risk.

CALL it Communism,Capitalism Socialism,Fartism,I don’t care.But if you balance the budget,Child Care Funding,Food Initiatives,fixed potholes,Get DoorDash,Amazon,Tenet protection,worker and Business support,city infrastructure,fixed playgrounds,gave away 1500 theaters tickets:I call it”WE THE PEOPLE”

Sending the right message at the right time is a smart and caring way to handle things: you save lives and cut needless spending while doing it. Y'all be responsible out there! Thank you, Mamdani! 👏💪🧠❤️

Wonder of wonders, a politician who prepares for an emergency beforehand instead of pinching pennies, doing nothing and making endless speeches later beginning with the phrase, “No one could’ve predicted…”

“don’t drown, turn around” is our motto when we see a large amount of water in the street you never know what conditions you’ll meet

Force the horse carriages to stop this for the entire weekend.. Pass Ryder's Law, fix the shithole that is NYCACC & end stop the murders of dogs & cats

What a difference a socially compassionate and empathic politician makes… ❤️ Mamdani ❤️ NY ❤️ Mamdani ❤️ NY ❤️ Mamdani ❤️ NY ❤️ Mamdani ❤️ NY Politicians can do great amounts of good! That they so often don’t is status quo grift.

Got our outside stuff in, battery powered lights & lots of snacks in case we lose power. We've been thru this so many times we're always prepared. After surviving Sandy...🥹

I hope you got your wellies and ready to be out in it. Thanks for keeping your people safe. Can you please also keep us updated for any FEMA assistance or lack thereof, requested, denied, & unresponded to?
