I mean, Kayla is the best character in Hacks. What a scene stealer! And that’s saying a lot because all the characters in Hacks are amazing.

Ok all. We need your help.
To punish a councilmember for objecting to cuts in education & housing, NYC leaders are defunding a local Boys & Girls Club as “punishment.”
If you have a few dollars, let’s send a message of support these kids & her courage.⤵️

New: the Council speaker's reportedly punitive move to lock @tiffany_caban out of a discretionary funding pool will deprive an Astoria Boys & Girls club of $150K it expected to receive.

W. T. F. Minnesota Dems. This is disgraceful on so many fronts. It is basically a live demonstration of the motherhood penalty. PLEASE DO BETTER.

Hey ! Where did my blue check go? 🔎 Are you trying to tell me I’m no longer relevant⁉️Do I even exist? 🤔
Call me old fashioned, but I like when voters chose their politicians, not the other way around.
With our democracy under attack, we need consistent fighters for it everywhere.
I'm running for Congress in #NY12 because I'll never stop fighting for the City I love.

Sadly, the one who goes first is often received with skepticism. But someone has to go first, and there’s NEVER just one.
Today, the judge in Britney Spears’s conservatorship case may review issues including Spears’s dad’s role and whether her attorney can resign. His petition to resign—and Spears’s manager’s—followed ’s and my investigation. Read it to catch up:

I was walking with a fellow candidate for office just now when someone said to her “I hope you die.”
Women, all people, who sign up to help their community are public servants and human beings not door mats.
Such language is harmful and unnecessary.

Good morning.
New York City has had 109 mayors.
109 of them have been men.
Let’s change that.

I'd never met an NYC Dem Primary debate before where "are you team Brown or team Board of Education" would have been a relevant question, but am now entirely convinced would have had the wrong answer.

Only @KimC4BP could do something this cool. She builds housing, opens healthcare clinics, develops violence interrupter programs, gives small businesses microloans, works full time as a law librarian, raised two kids, donated a kidney, and btw, she raps too.

The keys to fixing child care are now in the hands of states.
But because we've never invested in child care in this way before, the task ahead is "overwhelming," states told me.
What's at stake if they fail?

WATCH: City Council District 6 Democratic Primary Debate gothamgazette.com/city/10484-wat
In 25 states, it is illegal to separate a puppy from its mother within the first 8 weeks of life.
1 in 4 American moms, however, return to work within 2 weeks of giving birth—they have to chose between a paycheck or spending time with a newborn.
This is a national disgrace.

I hope a Campaign Comms person doesn’t get a chewed pen thrown their face for this article.
Can we stop pretending words like ‘demanding’ and ‘challenging’ are some sort of badge of honor when referring to a toxic work environment? cityandstateny.com/articles/polit
