No democracy can function without a system of checks-&-balances. Mayor Adams’ charter revision proposals 2-6 on the ballot this election would threaten ours. VOTE NO on Props 2-6

Los Angeles totally dropped the ball here.
Hotel ads, booking sites and guest reviews. Tourists staying in rooms meant for low-cost housing. Yet LA's Housing Department has cited few landlords for violating the residential hotel law. propublica.org/article/we-fo… w/ @capitalandmain

if you live in the UWS and haven't yet signed onto this letter supporting the 83rd st. Safe Haven, it's not too late!

NEW: Twitter hasn’t paid thousands of dollars in charitable donations that employees made in 2022, around the time of the acquisition. The money was taken out of employee paychecks but never reached the organizations. Benevity, the third-party platform that is used to facilitate the payments, told employees Twitter hasn’t yet approved the payments. After I started asking around about this yesterday Twitter said it is “actively working” to get the money to the NGOs.

5/ There was the pharma CEO who dumped about $1 million worth of shares in his rival’s stock the day before the company’s largest one-day drop in share price that year. (He then bought the dip and sold again before the announcement of an SEC investigation sent the price tumbling)

A short thread on what's happening in the labor force right now:
The big picture -- After working through the most intense phase of the pandemic, more women in leadership roles are bowing out.
For every woman at the senior manager level who gets promoted, two leave, according to a report from LeanIn & McKinsey.
The departures threaten the pipeline that feeds the next generation of women into C-suite jobs.
