Big Tech’s rollout of algorithmic surveillance tools have made app-based workers’ ability to afford to live #NewYorkCity even more precarious.

A pair of canvassers, one wearing drum beats merch and one wearing a jfrej shirt and holding a sign that says freeze rent melt ice
Kvelling over the 100+ JFREJers who canvassed in Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, & Brooklyn and rallied with the People's Majority coalition for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social today. >2 DAYS to win a path to a more just NYC: Make your plan to vote Tues & join Jews 4 Zohran on doors + phones: jfrej.org/field
Deliveristas need protection against rampant unfair firing by the delivery apps. Kudos to @justinbrannan.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social & @galebrewernyc.bsky.social for fighting to make that happen
Dan Goldman thinks that over 150 years of inherited generational wealth is being a “beneficiary of the American Dream” … and that’s a reason to vote FOR him.
😵😵😵
Also, it's a real coward's move not to link to the post, which proceeds to explain *why* and *in what way* it represents a cautionary tale!
Here's the post, so you can judge:

This is bad enough coming from MAGA legislators. But in deep-blue DC, @murielbowser.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social are shockingly doing the same thing: rolling back badly needed voter-approved wage increases for tipped workers and slashing paid family leave
Still basking in the glow of Zohran's primary win? Me too! But please also take 1 minute to defend the closed primary system that helped make Z's win possible.
Eric Adams' commission is trying to open primaries so that Republicans can vote in Dem primaries. Tell them NO. bit.ly/NoOpenPrimariesNYC 🧵
Why the hell are @murielbowser.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social blocking a badly needed wage increase for tipped workers? They're bought and paid for by the DC restaurant lobby and are a national embarrassment.

So proud of @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and the voters of the 39th district for showing that caring for your neighbors and real results are more powerful than big money and hate

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social powerfully explains why all NY'ers should rank @bradlander.bsky.social #1 -- and why we can't afford to return Andrew Cuomo to power

My choice to protect our neighbors from ICE and Trump:
✅Showed up today to support (and last week, and the one before that ).
✅ has passed and introduced legislation to stop ICE
✅ chaired the Immigration committee
That’s @shahanafrombk.bsky.social
Updated door signs for NYC primary next week!!
@jfrejnyc.bsky.social
Just got yet another super-PAC mailer backing @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social
This time it’s from “Moving New York Families Forward” — a pro-charter school super-PAC funded by Mike Bloomberg.
Does Maya Kornberg want to privatize our public schools?
