With a sane politician, they would submit to public opinion and resign. With MAGA, Eric Adams says he is going nowhere. He doesn’t care if the city falls apart, he is going to stay until the bitter end, to keep his power.

Gov Kathy Hochel has to remove him.

Credit to their integrity

Does anyone else feel like this is what they want to happen anyway? I get what they are doing. It is commendable and they should be proud... but... who do we think these folks will be "replaced" with?

Everyone getting fired or who have resigned can come join the resistance. P1$$1ng off very intelligent, mature people is never a good idea.

Ethics are not going to save anybody at this point. The more this sort of thing happens the more our protections disintegrate.

Thank you all VERY MUCH!!!

We don't need them resigning. We need people in the inside who can fight.

Good for them. Perhaps more people will start joining the fight.

It is hopeful to see there are some left with integrity. I fear they are running low though.

If you're a NYC resident/voter can you think of any reason to keep him? Has he made any improvements in NY? Has he made himself indispensable in any way, has he reformed anything for the better?

Integrity wins again. THESE are fine people.

Well, maybe. I note that they did not resign over the ethics charges themselves, but I do agree that organized gov't cruelty toward the powerless IS a more compelling moral case.

Yes. And so does straight up corruption.

Upside down planes, unelected officials and billionaires pilfering money from our government, a FELON and INSURRECTIONIST in our White House… and you think this guy WON the election? Hell NO! @diretalks.bsky.social with @electiontruth.bsky.social are here to #VerifyTheVote youtu.be/GPKozmv3DPQ

Its time, time for Governor Hochul to take actions to remove Mayor Eric Adams from office.

I understand and respect their reasons but doesn’t this just make it easier to install lapdogs in their positions?

If they don’t do as dear leader demands, he will fire them. No one pays attention when he fires anyone. It would barely be a blip on the radar. People resigning over ethics makes the news.

I don't think that moving out of the way is the answer. Staying and fighting for what is right would be more beneficial for the people

I understand the perspective, but by resigning en masse it will push to resolve the matter — as can be seen with the rising calls for Adams to resign and Gov Hochul’s outreach today with significant City figures. The four will stay on for some time to ensure that the City functions.

It could also be seen as protest

I hope that when I’m tested that I can do the same.

#FuckTrump #FuckMAGA

Is it new show on 5th channel?

They resigned but then they will hire others that will do as they are told

Ty 4 your service! 🇺🇸

Thank you.

How much more does the Governor need in order to see that for the good of the city she needs to remove Adam’s? I mean I think it’s was obvious earlier, but this is glaringly obvious now

Governor Hochel needs to kick Adams to the curb. NOW. Before he starts cooperating with the raids. Then, the charges will come back because there will no longer be a quid-pro-quo.

New York spawned Trump and Eric Adams Let them fix this

But I just don’t understand why resign and let him replace you with a loyalist Why not stay and fight until he’s forced to out you?

I get the statement they're making, and I applaud it. But now we're going to be replacing four ethical officials with four corrupt ones. There's got to be a better way to take your stand without giving up your power.

Every trump cheerleader, sycophant, and devoted cult member will be infamously remembered throughout history like the devoted nazis were after the end of WWII. The people refusing to cooperate with this criminality and corruption have read history, and they know they're on the right side of it.

For those calling for Hochul to remove him it isn’t happening any time soon. She’s going to get as much cover as she can first because FOX NEWS is already trying to lay the narrative that he’ll be removed because he was tough on illegal immigrants. And the media will run with that.

Just like Trump, he’s not leaving.

That’s piss poor management. Losing all that staff because one doesn’t have courage. What a loser governor.

👏🏻👏🏻Good for them!

That's fantastic An honest person doesn't wanna have anything to do with that. Administration, because no good is going to come out of what's getting ready to happen in New York.. THE GOVERNOR NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION😳😡

Heroes.

If people with integrity must leave rather than work with/for one specific person, that person should be restricted to cosmetic rolls only. “Just smile and wave Mr. Mayor. No, that’s all you have on your schedule today. The deputies will escort you to the cabin once we’re done here.” Right?

I always feel a tiny sense of relief when I see somebody standing up to the regime. In general it feels like most people capitulated.

Ethics? Nah, self-preservation. Ethics is speaking up before the surgeon removes organs to sell to the highest bidder. They handed him the scalpel and now want to slip out before we see the blood dripping from their hands. Can we stop looking for heroes, please.

The wrong people are resigning

The right people are saying "no."

They only really have two options, say yes to the Trump Campaign and harm us, or say no and resign. These are political sacrifices and are noble.

sabotage requires staying and breaking shit

To some people.

Integrity is the operative word.

Adams is going. This is all coordinated. That’s my bet on Hochul.

but then who will be left??? ppl who will obey?

My exact question!

…to Democrats.

True Patriots. I respect their commitment!

The regime sees resignations as getting out of the way. Hold the line! Dare them to fire you.

❤️

The problem with the resignations is that the good people are all gone!

It got the Governor's attention and now she's going to discuss what to do with him with other leaders this morning.

Better to be known as a martyr, than a collaborator. They will at least have a clean conscience, a good referral, and a good future when this passing regime has been upended.

My husband and I say this every day, about the senators and representatives who need to grow a backbone and impeach him again!

I personally think it is going to take our military saying enough. Just my opinion.

Do it!

that's what they want too. now they can fill those roles with loyal yes men.

😞😞😞😞

ACAB!! No matter what color!!

Why won't Hocul just step up and fire the corrupt fucker.

As if. "Help! A bomb is falling on freedom & democracy!!" "Ok, we're going to show OUR support by getting 200 miles+ away from it." If you're not burning bridges & salting the earth on the way out, you might as well be one of them b/c "just walking away" is impotent complacence to their fascism.

They love this ! Getting rid of all the liberals is what these magats love! Terrible position for these ppl and Drumpf and his mob cronies continue with their immunity !!

they'll be backfilled with loyalists

How does quitting help when that's what they want?

Good for them!

Mayor Adams arrogant time has come. Black face doesn’t work on Black people.

Very fine people.

Why isn’t Kathy Hochul doing anything???

Good for them! Courage is contagious. I thank them for theirs.

Adams left them hanging

👏👏👏🙏👍👍

I sure hope the military understands this, because I feel like they should be on deck getting prepared.

Wouldn't count on the military to save the country. Military will fall in line with whoever is in the white house. That's just the nature of an "apolitical" military tradition, which is a very good thing. Maybe others will disagree.

That's true, right up until it isn't. We've been doing a good job of keeping it that way. I agree it has always been a very good thing (for us, not necessarily for countries where our military has done hideous things). But apolitical loyalty to country may be why they step up to save the nation.

More than ever.

This is Ethics and Accountability!

BRAVO!!

Thank you for your service, deputy mayors!!!

It is either resign, be fired, sue, or stand your ground and occupy your office, to protect the integrity of the Federal Government from these fascist, trespassers from "DOGE." Arrest Musk, abolish, dismember and destroy "DOGE" NOW!

Kathy Hochul - given how many people around Adams have lost their jobs - either by resignations or indictments - it’s not right that he’s the only One that’s left standing. Time to cut him loose.

Commitment, Respect 👏👏

Brave people

It’s nice to know that there are people that still have them.

Honestly

Congratulations, thanks for standing against the fascist. These people have courage and integrity.

Thank you for amplifying stories of the people doing good!! We need to hear this as we continue the fight for democracy!

Integrity is cool

Idiots

Everybody’s gonna be unemployed and be able to walk their ass right up to Washington, huh?

Bravo. More heroes.

Love seeing morals win. GOP, look and learn.

Don’t think it was “cooperation” that was the real issue here. These f-ing headlines…

So proud of you all!!

📌

But it leaves the corruptable left in place.

Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer is actually the real deal when it comes working for New Yorkers with a strong resume of service to prove it. I am proud of her and her colleagues for standing up for the citizens of NYC ahead of self-interest, coercion, and corruption.

“[Democrats] desperately need a Left Wing Media System that rivals what they have on the right. And we desperately need our politicians and thought leaders to embrace that idea.” BTC youtu.be/-XGlZcV26-8?...

Brian ask warren buffet or Bloomberg to join with mark Cuban and buy one. But wit now. We need good cops to stand up and create a resistance force to go after musk and trump. We must impeach them both.

The ones resigning are the people our country needs the most...

Problem is when good people resign bad people take their places

True, but I fear we'll be left without anyone with ethics in charge. 😔

I salute them and throw virtual rotten tomatoes at Adams for placing his on job criminality above their jobs, their security, their hopes and ambitions.

We’re all proud of you

I'm proud of these people with morals and ethics who believe no one is above the law.

People with honor

Brave and noble. Impressive.

Ethics, live your life by it🤷🏻‍♂️

Total fucking shit show! America fucking sucks under Trump

He's gotta go.

Better they had stayed and used their influence. Do not obey in advance.

Thank you for having a moral spine, unlike Republicans in Congress

Waiting to see some fight along with it. Maybe one day.

When only corrupt dirtbags remain, Trump can finally rule in peace

Not all heros wear capes.

Heroes everywhere! Love this

So they will make it easier to be replaced? I don’t know who the biggest traitors are. The musk administration or the people running from their posts.

Proud of these patriots.

Time to go, Eric

Jings. First they had Rudy Guliani. Now they’ve got Adams. New Yorkers you must do better 😉

Don’t resign. Leak and usurp.

#wethepeople demand action from our representatives! Call your representatives and demand that they do not attend Trump's State of the Coup on March 4th and instead hear the testimony of the 7 senior members of the Department of Justice who resigned! (202) 224-3121 #theresistance #resist

All the top people resigning isn’t helping. We need the good ones staying and fighting.

what's happening on March 4th?

State of the union address by 🍊 Palpatine

ohhh, ok

State of the Empire

right?

It’s too bad that they don’t stand and do what is best for the country and society. They are part of the problem!

Unfortunately, all the ethical people are leaving. 😢

Integrity is so rare and beautiful right now!!! I’d love to hear some New Yorkers making their own righteous noise.

I am sorry that had to happen, but proud of them for doing it.

GOVERNOR HOCHUL- FIRE ADAMS!!!

Adams was already corrupt when they went to work for him.

Integrity in action

They can live with themselves and know they acted with integrity, they will go down in history as respected people.

There are millions of good and brave Americans. Our challenge is to make that matter.

Not to MAGA.

Yes, however, does leaving uphold anything?

Amen! Thank You all!

They do.

These 4 officials resigned b/c spineless governor Hochul is MIA. She should have removed Adams weeks ago. Remove.Adams.NOW.

How many top officials and lawyers have resigned over this clearly illegal quid pro quo? It’s at least eleven if my memory serves.

And still trump is getting his way. I appreciate the integrity, but the battle is still being lost.

Where is governor Hochul in all of this? She can push him out and she's not protecting NYC. Shame on her!🤮

How does resigning help? Stand up and fight.

NYC voters, y'all could have had Maya Wiley, or some other ethical candidate. Oops?

Getting them to resign is part of the plan. They will be replaced with loyalists.

Exactly so

And how Many Ass’t So District of NY Attorneys have resigned as well? 👏🏼 Bravo! Decency and ethics are still around and they do still Matter.

Integrity

Note these are Democrats not Republicans resigning on principle.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

If all the honorable people resign, then all that is left are those without morals or honor. They need to stop resigning and start obstructing.

Exactly!!!!!

bsky.app/profile/eyky...

Openings that will likely be filled by inept corrupted supporters of the convicted criminal

Time for Gov. Hochul to remove the cancer.

I floated this idea one other time. I think we ALL need to mail postcards to OUR Representatives. Emails are too easy to delete, postcards take up space, time, and they might even be looked at. Overwhelm them! If half the country voted for this fool, the other half should bombard them with cards.

The correct headline.

Are they cooperating with NY State AG office to investigate the criminal bribery going on?

BRAVO

HEROS!! BRAVO!

Governor Hochul may have to remove the mayor unless New Yorkers are ok with Trump running their city.

Please chuck that crook to the curb !

It is heartwarming to see civil servants behaving ethically.

Sucks they couldn’t stay and fight. Sometimes leaving is the best option.

Not to republicans it doesn't.

Problem is only the good honest people leave. What ends up getting left behind is always trash.

Some call it ethics others call it ducking and hiding. Now they get to stock the place with fedsoc goons.

Real American Heroes.

🙌🏻 and good moral values 😉

Something MAGA have no idea about!

"Ethics actually matters" They do to me

Disgraced NYC Mayor, Eric Adams should be recalled by the voters now. Is there a process for getting rid of him now and not having to wait for the results of the next scheduled mayoral election?

While this may feel like the right move—may even be the ethically correct move—isn’t it just moving over to make way for new cronies? What happens as a long-term result other than making room for unprincipled shills who’ll just let Adams/crooks get away with whatever they want?

At what point would YOU remove the swastika armbands? Some of them were just doing their jobs right?

I mean, isn’t that exactly the point? You don’t just move over and let them implement swastika armbands. You resist in whatever small ways you can, instead of let them roll uninhibited across everything. No?

Make them fire you by resisting persistently

And if they don’t, keep the uniform? No thank you.

Of course not! But it’s not like we’re quite there yet, are we? Let’s say we’re asked to do something unconscionable. IF we can’t obstruct, and they won’t fire us, THEN we resign. No? In advance of any ask, resignations seem like pre-capitulation.

Apparently, resignations can send powerful messages. I hope it’s enough to do some good.

May. Will weigh. That’s how we defeated the Nazis last time. We considered opposing them. Eh. Maybe. Maybe not. As long as nobody has to take a fucking stand, it’s all good.

Apple News very briefly had an NPR headline “Hochul takes action on Adams <>” but it seems to be gone now. Could it be NPR knows she has removed him but can’t release the story yet?

These questions are honest questions. I’m positing counter argument as a vehicle. Sincerely asking.

I say do as much damage as possible until caught. If you can’t do damage disassociate. There will be no forgiveness.

Thank you citizens leaders for being eternally vigilant.

NY Gov Hochul should put Adams on 'adminstrative leave.' By E-mail. On a Friday evening.

Wish the Republican Congress could find their courage and ethics.

They have Dignity something lowlife crook adams doesnt have. CON man like 🟠turd

I love my state!💙

How many deputy mayors are there?

Eight. Don’t be fooled by the titles, they are more like department heads of critical infrastructure to run the city.

I don't get how this is helpful. Seems like they just quit and now they'll be replaced

To democrats.

Breaking news: Government promises to fix the problems they created, lol.

But this is the point. Promote and support the corrupt and the incompetent, and the worthy and moral will self-purge from their positions. I'm not blaming them, but this is not the win some might think it is.

“Meanwhile, Adams invoked "Mein Kampf" to push back at one of his biggest critics, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. "If you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, people will believe it's true. And that is what you are seeing right now - a modern-day mein kampf," Adams said. “

Democrats, news media, interviews please.

That is 4 fewer people who can fight from inside. I don’t like it….

Time to go Eric. Bye bye

What if they stayed in their positions but publicized the illegal stuff and resisted it?

So glad to hear that ethics still exists. Our congressmen and senators should take a lesson and grow some spines.

RESPECT 💪🏼🇺🇸💙

Ethics! Why is it so hard for Senators? Republicans?
