Adam’s fighting to go down as the worst mayor in NYC history.
To the point after he gets kicked out of office he better move down south cause NJ won’t be far enough.
That’s if he isn’t in jail.

As soon as we get Trump out of the paint it’s going to be time to get Adams out.

iirc, this is part of NYCHA comp mod. There’s a few other developments this is happening with. I worked with one specifically to ensure residents rer[turned to their same exact apartments and that there’d be a legal agreement. Not sure if the other developments got that in legal writing.

Mayor Adams’ office directs NYC agencies to launch BlueSky accounts amid growth on new platform

NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams’ office ordered all city government agencies Thursday to set up accounts on BlueSky, a social media platform that has seen a marked uptick in new users since President-elect Donald Trump’s election.
BlueSky’s growth comes amid an exodus from X, formerly known as Twitter, amid concerns over far-right rhetoric and misinformation being amplified on the platform under Elon Musk’s ownership. Among those who have left X in recent days are The Guardian newspaper, Don Lemon and Jamie Lee Curtis.
But Adams’ office didn’t make any reference to there being a political reason behind Thursday’s move, and the city isn’t walking away from X at this time.
The main purpose of the move for now is to “limit the amount of parody/misinformation” that could arise from people setting up spoof BlueSky accounts in the names of city agencies, Adams’ office wrote in a government-wide email, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Daily News. Adams’ office said in the message that agencies should set up their BlueSky accounts “as soon as possible,” but not start posting on them yet.
“We’re working out some logistical questions … before we begin using the platform,” read the email.
“We’ll be back with more information,” the message added. “We’re figuring it out in real time, so I appreciate your patience as we work on it!”
Adams spokesmen didn’t immediately respond to emailed questions about whether the administration may eventually stop using X altogether.
A city government social media staffer, who spoke on condition his name and agency not be identified, said Thursday’s announcement came after a number of municipal employees had complained internally about staying on X in the wake of Trump’s election.
The day after Trump’s Nov. 5 election, more than 115,000 X users in the U.S. deactivated their accounts, the steepest one-day drop since Musk, a major Trump donor and surrogate, bought the platform in 2022.
At the same time, BlueSky announced Tuesday it has welcomed more than 1 million new users since Trump’s election.
The wave of X departures comes as Musk is expected to join Trump’s administration as co-chairman of a new federal entity called the Department of Government Efficiency.
Adams, a conservative Democrat who’s often at odds with members of his own party, praised Trump’s appointment of Musk on Wednesday.
“One of the people I think it was important to bring on board, some people may argue, is Elon Musk,” he said on PIX11. “We’re dealing with an antiquated government filled with bureaucracy, unwilling to make any changes.”

I am going to put money on it that Hochul and Adams split on congestion prices cause Trump is going to threaten prosecution unless Adams sabotages it…..
Which keep in mind won’t take much cause Hochul is in the typical Backup QB style that defines her doing something rushed and sloppy by trying to do this with a few weeks left.

C/s this whole post. Adams has to get bushed in the primary next year. Trump bribing/extorting Adams over congestion pricing sounds like exactly the kind of fukkery I could see happening within the next two years
As for Hochul, unless she can somehow make a complete 180 on how she's been governing, I'd hope she faces a primary too and loses this time around. Her approval numbers are pretty bad and I'd think there's a real chance we end up with a Republican governor in 2026 if she's at the top of the ticket and her image hasn't gotten any better than it is now.
Then again, if Trump 2.0 is a disaster, he'll end up being an anchor on state level Republicans (again) in the midterms, so I could be speaking too soon
