Whoever is NYC's mayor-elect, make sure to check out the @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social forum next week "Who’s in & Who’s Out? Understanding the Results of the NYC Mayoral Election" moderated by our Ctr for Urban Research director John Mollenkopf @jomoko.bsky.social www.gc.cuny.edu/events/whos-...

The Ctr for Urban Research at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social (led by @jomoko.bsky.social) has prepared an online map for tonight's NYC mayoral results. Link below in #thread. For now the map is blank, but it'll fill in w/unofficial returns tonight.

The map will do more than show the 2025 #s.

1. NYCBOE plans to run initial ranked choice voting rounds tomorrow for NYC mayor. I'm assuming that based on unofficial results there'll be just 1 instance of vote transfers (from Round 1 to 2). There’s a *mathematical possibility* Cuomo could win, but very unlikely. More in the 🧵 below.

Terrible news for social science and for all who care about using the data we already collect to make better

Views of Race, Policing and Black Lives Matter in the 5 Years Since George Floyd’s Killing Americans have expressed skepticism that attention to racial issues after Floyd's killing led to changes that improved Black people's lives.

The votes for @1199seiu.org's leadership elections are in, and the opposition slate, 1199 Members First, won big.

Yvonne Armstrong will become 1199's new President; Veronica Turner-Biggs will be Secretary-Treasurer.

Very big news, first reported by @mayakaufman.bsky.social (x.com/mayakauf/sta...).

No indication of IRB approval...

Inside the quiet race for New York City's second-most powerful position The New York City Council speakership goes to whomever can convince around 125 political power brokers, all with opposing interests, that they'll have an ally in City Hall.

All eyes are on the mayor's race, but another race is starting to take shape behind the scenes for leadership of the New York City Council in 2026.

@hollypret.bsky.social has all the details on how the powerful speaker of the New York City Council is chosen

NYC progressives want to beat Adams and Cuomo. Can they set aside their differences? The path to victory means that left-leaning voters — and mayoral candidates — must coalesce around a slate of five choices.
