Ive spent the last six months saying “I’m going to run the 2028 marathon” with a lot of confidence for no reason. There’s only a few paths to run the marathon and most are very competitive Yesterday I got the email that I got into the 9+1 program which if I complete means I’ll run the 2028 marathon

🚨 There are accomplishments within the first Mayor’s Management Report of the Mamdani administration, but it's worth noting that this fiscal year report shows an uptick in broken windows policing - a trend started by Mayor Adams, but that has continued in Mayor Mamdani's first 6 months.

thecityreporter.nycHow’s Mamdani Doing? Mayor Releases Mixed City Scorecard (With Adams Assist)Ambulance response times were up, most serious crimes fell and a whole lot of potholes were filled in the first Mayor’s Management Report of the Zohran Mamdani era.

dang remember when @investinourny.bsky.social was warning people this was likely to happen.

States will soon be responsible for 75 percent of SNAP expenses, thanks to President Donald Trump’s 2025 “Big Beautiful Bill.” New York is passing the higher costs to counties, which are likely to pick up the tab through higher property taxes.

it has actually been staggering to watch elected officials, who endorsed Hochul while she gutted our climate law, come out now to lament the absence of climate leadership.

okay but public service 💘

A few weeks ago I was with some work colleagues who had never taken the metro north on the Hudson line and I was like “sit on this side (obviously the river side), facing the direction of the train and romanticize your life” and this is evergreen train advice.

had two drinks last night with a friend after a work-ish event. going to finish cleaning up my apartment after canvassing & doing pollsite visibility today. Going to go dancing after a pollsite visibility shift tomorrow. I will remain grounded & regulated through Wednesday. I will not lose my cool 🫠

when someone says a lie about a candidate I support I will directly & politely correct them. when someone is rude at the doors I will smile & thank them for their time. I will remember that I love talking to voters & 99% of the time it’s enjoyable. I will not get baited into fights on the internet.

🧵A beautiful story about grief, community and joy inspired by Towns and the loss of his mother. Knicks brings it all to the front and fans set the table. ⬇️

I’ve been really moved by how KAT’s public expression of grief has moved people during the Finals really poignant story today on that theme:

I’m in Florida for a few more days & I’ve been going on runs every other morning and I keep texting my sisters “0 crocodile sightings” and I think I have 1 more run left in my time here and there’s still time for a croc.
