There are a lot of things I want to say after all this time. But for now I will just say that it seems clear allegheny county has not avoided the ire of the federal government, least of all after a senior official was drafted to the Mamdani administration. Heads up

The county is going out of their way to pitch the benefits of their property tax proposal to employees and I'm with it tbh but its hard to go to bat for the administration when they never did anything with the employee surveys and kept Steve Pilarski in his position.

@hotgayscientist I need you to understand we can be critical of politicians and still make a decision to endorse them. You can choose not to endorse them for the same reasons. But to act like people who decided to endorse the campaign don't have any room to be critical is a bad take.

"We need to be less politically correct" WRONG! You need to just get up there and promise to lower prices. And they're gonna call you a socialist but that's okay bc you promised low prices. That's what you do, ffs. FOR FUCKS SAKE.

I'm going to say this one more time, tho I don't know why I bother anymore. Americans don't care about labels. They aren't worried about what the other side calla you. They care about promises, and they want their promises to be big and unrealistic. Listen👏to👏 progressives👏

@notadampaul @zarathustra5150 @whstancil No right he does get it but then he goes on to be like "and to fix it they should have done the same old thing they always do, but MORE" and he's just so close, but so far.

@whstancil Omg. This..you got it right. Wow. Yes, harris wasn't the problem and the campaign couldn't have course-corrected something this big. Americans made up their minds before the campaign even got started and they were unwilling to be moved.

Honestly XL rich fitzgerald vibes for @Innamo to send her own office home and force everyone who wasn't downtown to be stuck in traffic, especially since the harris event is in swissvale. I had to scramble to get help picking up my kids. Pretty uncool and unnecessarily unfair

@abigailgardner @LLthePD In fact there was a hilarious exchange about how this doesn't even apply to people who are only technically not downtown but will be severely impacted.

@abigailgardner @LLthePD All these emails came in after I went home friday but we got a flurry of follow up emails saying it's only for people who are downtown specifically. Because I guess being anywhere else in the city we won't be impacted 🙄

I'm just going to put this out there with 0 pretense. @Innamo send us home tomorrow. Better yet, don't make us come in at all. Ffs this is going to be a nightmare.

@LLthePD Ah I see. It only applies to people in the downtown offices. The rest of us are obviously not impacted by anything extremely specifically downtown 🙃

I want to hear about your union negotiations with the Innamorato administration. I won't post individual stories, just patterns. If you're in a county union and you have info about contract negotiations, slide into my DMs!

@JustinReany @CathoZealo @helenprejean Vatican II was 60 years ago. Again, you're welcome to be a buffet catholic but to try to say that we should refer back to before that time is...detached from reality. You're just another protestant. Go forth and start your own thing.

@JustinReany @CathoZealo @helenprejean *This* church is led by the pope, and he does have the authority to alter the catechism the way he did. You're incorrect about the church's previous stance on the death penalty, and you're incorrect about the current one--spreading misinformation.

@CathoZealo That's not a lie. Of course you can say something is concerning but moral. Because men are imperfect and death is permanent. and also thats what the catechism said.
