Ryder Kessler

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

sorry for extending the kelly clarkson discourse for yet another day but not hard to see why she got frustrated with this guy. he's asked three times whether or not the bird is for sale and won't give a clear answer!

In case you missed it, on Thursday, we dropped a new batch of NYS legislative endorsements.

Absolutely scorching endorsement, bringing serious heat for Weiner and against Chan, but a blast furnace at Pelosi for her role in this race and her true reasons for it. Never read an editorial this heated in Chron www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

I can’t believe people are still posting this meme when Obama signed the Iran deal, Biden withdrew from Afghanistan, and Trump started a war in Iran

Two races I think people aren't paying enough attention to: Gina Hinojosa in TX and Angie Nixon in FL. In any other year, I'd get it. But in this year -- and with *these* candidates -- it's worth having thinking big about what we could win...

Truly remarkable motivated reasoning. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

a nazi pedophile that loves data centers is fully funding the republican partys midterm efforts

The Hasan Piker discourse would be a lot different if he was a White South-African billionaire

Backing Prop G is madness. We have already voted on this TWICE. Chan is the new avatar of SF NIMBYs, always opposed to parks and transit and housing.

“I write everything using AI now." No you don't. Your little computer girlfriend summarizes the internet's thoughts for you. You went to the word ATM and gave the receipt to the Wall Street Journal.

There’s just been a total collapse in the quantity and breath of city coverage in New York City that isn’t entirely evident until you pick up another city’s major paper — and, well, maybe there’s just no news in New York anymore.

I really think the fact that it takes decades to build critical infrastructure plays a significant role in blackpilling young people. government should be able to do things on a reasonable timeline

Building more market-rate rental housing causes rents in the area to fall and helps reduce homelessness.

Surely there is some mistake! There's no way this tax applies to me, a retired diplomat who lives in Paris who spent millions of dollars renovating the 12 million dollar apartment I never intended to live in. There must be some mistake

Weird how there always seems to be a ton of money for ~being shitty to people who annoy you on the internet~ but rarely enough funding for organizing or infrastructure work that builds long term power.

finally, the Democratic party has a plan.

Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

"Road rage" is what they call murder when a car is involved. It waters down the reality of the violence and the crime. When someone murders a fellow human with a gun, it's rarely called anything other than what it is: murder.

"Cities are humanity's greatest invention" 🔥🔥🔥

The fact that ostensible champions for the working class are on the fence about the fight for more homes is continually mind-boggling.

Wisconsin's election commission found probable cause that Elon Musk broke state law with his promise of $1 million to voters and referred the case for possible prosecution to the Brown County DA's office. www.cnn.com/2026/07/14/p...

"The uprising against the Democratic establishment is coming from the voters, and it cannot be contained." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/o...

ICE killed a person they weren't even looking for AGAIN. Second time in the past week.

Most gourmands eschew human organ meat, but Hannibal Lecter has taken a different tack.

‪People are hungry for optimistic, positive visions of what might be possible. They don’t want to settle for the status quo bc the status quo is not working. Municipal leaders in particular have the power to actually *do shit* on housing, which is often the root of the concerns about cost of living.

NEW: Best friend of cyclist who was killed on the Queensboro Bridge in a collision with someone on an illegal e-scooter (who also died) demands action from the city to curb the illegal vehicles and implement better street design.

Ryder Kessler is our pick in the Democratic primary for the open seat in Manhattan's 66th Assembly District. The co-founder of Abundance NY believes the design of the streetscape should reflect the fact that 95% of district residents don't commute by car. More: www.streetspac.org/2026_nys_pri...

We're excited today to announce our endorsement of 27 candidates running in the June 23 primary election for New York State's Legislature–five for State Senate and 22 for the Assembly–in districts stretching from NYC to Buffalo. Read about all our endorsees here: www.streetspac.org/2026_nys_pri...

The Purcell principle now officially just means “Republicans win.” For the reasons Sotomayor lays out here, SCOTUS’s eleventh hour intervention for Alabama Republicans is indefensible. It’s going to unleash massive chaos on the ground for both voters and election administrators. What a disaster.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

It's deeply meaningful to receive a 100% rating from @ppesacts.bsky.social/@ppgnyact.bsky.social. I learned political activism watching my mother fight for abortion access and hearing her stories of going to Albany to demand reproductive rights. I can't wait to take that fight to Albany myself.

Mayor Mamdani's housing plan is live! There's big sweeping YIMBY stuff: -Aggressive TOD upzoning -Major permitting reform -Rescuing & transforming NYCHA They're also looking at finer details, like fixing the FDNY inspections that so often delay CofO issuance (& invite petty corruption)

Black voters are being diluted into powerlessness by MAGA states, as Trump tries to entrench GOP control of Congress permanently. New York MUST do more to fight back—but Democratic leaders have "no appetite" to treat this democratic crisis with the urgency required. Enough.

The New York State Assembly continues to be the place where good housing policy goes to die www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

"To get a bad report back and then not fix it was bad. To promise to release it and then walk that back was worse.... From top to bottom: This was pure incompetence....Ken [Martin] cannot and should not stay DNC chair." – @amandalitman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/amandali...

I remember when pizza, bagels, and coffee all cost a buck—and I'm no dinosaur. It's not just lunch. From housing to childcare to Con Ed. skyrocketing costs aren't just inflation—they’re the result of bad policy. We deserve better. Let's deliver lower costs for Lower Manhattan.

The Chambers J/Z station is one of the oldest stations in New York City's transit system — and it doesn't look like it's been touched by the MTA since it was built. But thanks to congestion pricing, it's getting a huge upgrade, reports @davecolon.bsky.social. youtube.com/shorts/0t2DN...

The grassroots @opennewyork.org community knows the rent is too damn high—and they've been working for years to change that. I've been proud to fight alongside them to legalize more homes, speed affordable housing creation, and protect tenants. Let's take the fight to Albany 💪

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 I'm deeply honored to have the support of my home club, @sdnyc.bsky.social, in this race. Stonewall works tirelessly to ensure queer folks can thrive in NYC, fighting for the housing, healthcare, and human rights we deserve. Let's keep up the fight in Albany—and win 💪🌈

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🚨 Proud to have Council Member Shirley Aldebol in our corner. Shirley has spent decades winning for workers at @32bjseiu.bsky.social and City Hall. We both believe working people deserve more than promises—they deserve results. That's the kind of fight I'm taking to Albany 💪

If you're a registered voter in Manhattan's 3rd City Council District, today's your last chance to vote early before Tuesday's special election. For the inside scoop on why we co-endorsed Lindsey Boylan and Carl Wilson, along with links to voting info, visit www.streetspac.org/council_dist....

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.
