Always amazed at how quickly the NYPD releases body camera footage when it wants to. meanwhile I’m waiting eight+ months on a body cam FOIL.

Schneps management, which has spent years creating an image of support for local labor, cancelled their annual event honoring unions at the last minute a week ago. Read on to see why we believe they did. #SchnepsUnion

Yesterday, McClatchy laid off more than 90 unionized media workers across 17 publications.
The departure of these talented reporters, visual journalists & writers will immediately leave gaping holes in local coverage for dozens of communities across the US.

Journalism is a public service. And often, journalism tells us something we either didn't know, or didn't know we needed to know, but now do. The sooner we realize private equity really doesn't have public interest in its heart, the better.

These hedgers have sold buildings, cut staff and stopped consistent, serious journalism. Is it any wonder they can sell news that is devoid of real content. They are responsible for the decline of revenue all in their endless persuit of personal wealth. Shame!

NEW: Huge layoffs across McClatchy newspapers today, with some newsrooms gutted by a third. An internal email from management says consumer revenue has dipped 41% and "we cannot continue investing where subscriber interest does not support the investment"

The use of Signal is clear violation of city rules, and @nycmayor’s team is ignoring questions about it. This specific office falls under @anna_bahr
Officials usually Signal for government work isn’t new (share.google/XEnK34MnDM7WVP1…) but using for official group lists is

A very frustrated teacher just stopped me to explain she can’t get to work because police won’t let her through to her school. Good reminder that not everybody is down here to party today.

NYPD already acting out and arrests a student for trying to go to school via the Knicks parade route.
But allow small children to pass by after arresting this one student for simply doing the same thing.

In recent years, Schneps Media has built the biggest local-news empire in the NYC metro area. But it's paying its journalists so poorly they say they can barely afford grocerices.
This morning, journalists across Schneps publications announced they're unionizing.

Yes! @BrooklynPaper reporters are out in the field every single day telling our borough’s story, they deserve the stability and dignity that only unionization can deliver. ✊🏾✊🏾

"I am proud to stand in solidarity with the unionized Schneps reporters as they organize for a livable wage, affordable health care, and the dignity every worker deserves." Thank you for standing with us @NYCMayor
Schneps reporters do crucial work covering our neighborhoods and holding power to account.
Many of the journalists who document the challenges New Yorkers face are struggling to afford life here themselves.
I am proud to stand in solidarity with the unionized Schneps reporters as they organize for a livable wage, affordable health care, and the dignity every worker deserves.

I get daily job alerts from LinkedIn and I don’t think I’ve ever seen this so explicitly. @politico not hiring specifically but listed a job “to build a pipeline of qualified candidates for future openings.” Given the crap job market, is this cruel?

Just 8 days into his administration, @ZohranKMamdani delivers on one of his core campaign promises:
Universal childcare.
Breaking News: Gov. Kathy Hochul, partnering with Mayor Zohran Mamdani, will unveil a plan to expand free or affordable child care for New Yorkers across the state. nyti.ms/3Z2eDGZ
