If we are going to have any shot of making New York affordable for the next generation, we’ve got a lot of housing to build. I was thrilled to chat about that and more with @patkiernan on @NY1 this morning. Here’s the interview!

Big night for forces of change in Albany. Congrats to my soon-to-be-Senator @RJackson_NYC ! Hopefully in due course this evening the ranks of the IDC will have been substantially reduced.

For anyone who thinks that opposition to @GovKathyHochul ’s Housing Compact was driven by principled views about State vs. local authority, or resulted from a lack of input and engagement…

I do not have a simple answer to the question of where anti-Zionism ends and anti-Semitism begins. But here’s what people who think the two are easily separable must understand: Jews have experience with political abandonment leading to genocide. 1/3
