Job-Hunting? Hiring? Let MYD Help.
Off the radar, MYD’s been running an email distribution list for jobs in NYC for about a year now. Modeled as a kind of local NYC-area version of JobsThatAreLeft, the Tom Manatos List, and the Emily’s List Job Distribution List, the focus is on NYC-area jobs (and internships) in politics, government, advocacy, and nonprofit work. Some of our list subscribers have gotten hired for great jobs that were posted on our list! While registration for the list has always been open (all you have to do is sign up!), we thought we’d take the opportunity as the new year begins and job-hunting and hiring picks up to spread the word a bit more. So! Are you an employer in politics, government, … More >>
T-Shirt Tracker Special Edition: OMG WTF MTA?
Okay, so it’s not a “campaign” t-shirt per se, but I’m still tagging this post as part of our ongoing Campaign T-Shirt Tracker series. Well played, Working Families Party…well played. Via Gothamist: The MTA may be able to keep the WFP from posting their parody posters in subway stations, but they can’t keep disgruntled straphangers everywhere from wearing these shirts! (Or can they?) The Working Families Party sent out an email to supporters saying, “This shirt expresses the reaction of so many New Yorkers to the MTA’s ever-worsening fare increases and service cuts — and it helps send a message to politicians in City Hall and Albany that they should be doing more to support transit riders.” And technically, you don’t … More >>

Rep. Anthony Weiner with MYD, Telling It Like It Is.
As promised, here’s a compilation of three of my favorite moments from Anthony Weiner’s pre-Q&A comments at our great event celebrating the passage of the Big F***ing Deal on Wednesday night… Apologies for the poor quality, but that’s what I get for bringing a smartphone when a true videocam was clearly called for. Complete video to follow.

Campaign T-Shirt Tracker! — Inaugural Gillibrand Edition
Let’s face it – we’re into politics, and we’re young enough that we can still remember college. And what’s one of the hallmarks of the college experience? All the random t-shirts for things. And we at MYD love t-shirts, from last summer’s Don’t Vote For Pedro to the Big F***ing Deal. So, it’s a state election year. With all of our statewide elected offices up for election this year (including BOTH U.S. senators), what looks to be a wild multiple-candidate throwdown in the election for state Attorney General, AND both houses of the state legislature up for reelection…there will be a lot of competitive campaigns, a lot of campaigning, and therefore a lot of campaign swag. So, when 2010 NY … More >>
Awesome: New Video from Fight Back NY
Via Liz Benjamin, here’s a new video from the well-funded political action committee that’s been gunning for state senators who voted against marriage equality, starting with Senator Hiram Monserrate. It’s “Jaws-themed” and it’s kind of awesome. Take a look:
Reality Check
State Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx, Westchester), who heads the state senate Democrats’ campaign organization, should get props for the most appropriate reaction to the trouble Gov. Paterson finds himself in and his decision to suspend his campaign. From the Journal News’ Politics on the Hudson blog: State Sen. Jeff Klein, D-Bronx, who also represents parts of Yonkers, Mount Vernon and several other communities in Westchester, issued a statement earlier today about the troubles facing Gov. David Paterson. “It is unfortunate that at a time when our state is in the midst of a severe economic crisis and we need to direct our energy to putting New York’s fiscal house in order, we are embroiled in chatter about who will or … More >>
