Ben Carlos Thypin has quite the reach.

Todd Fine’s Twitter account promptly received a 12-hour suspension this morning for his having posted a link to Thypin’s $2900 contribution to New York City District 10 congressional candidate, and Open New York darling, Carlina Rivera.

Steel heir gonna steel heir

Meanwhile unpopular Carlina Rivera, destroyer of the East River Park, remains to voters an ever obvious puppet for real estate development interests like landlord Thypin’s vanity project, the real estate development lobbying group Open New York: yimby can try hiding, oh I dunno, literal public financial information (thanks to complicit Twitter) yet the truth of who they are, and where all their money goes, still screams.

e.g. Donors to Carlina Rivera's campaign include developers like Jed Walentas, Bruce Teitelbaum, Dan Tishman, Donald Capoccia, Kirk Goodrich, and lobbyists like Ed Wallace, Constantinople and Vallone, Luis Miranda and Ruben Diaz Jr.

huh

I will also say that it is moments like today that YIMBYs reveal their true colors. They say that they are revolutionaries against the monopolies of big landlords and that they want competition. But, in real life, they line up directly with the industry's lobbyists. https://t.co/EvUjQd67ZJ

The most interesting tidbit in this #NY10 poll from @NYWFP (via @JCColtin): only 14% of Democratic primary voters polled placed a candidate rejecting real estate $ among the 4 most important factors in deciding who to vote for. pic.twitter.com/44JewGh57s

No one is stupid here, Ben Thypin: silencing other people only continues to draw the very attention you hate.

People can pore over the filing here by the way: https://t.co/YR2M32Gv0d

The money tells the story

While the truth follows you around like a ghost you can’t shake.

This filing by Carlina Rivera looks like something Guiliani might have turned in.

Does she really think the way to win one of the most progressive congressional seats in the country is by being bankrolled by big real estate & a who's who of lobbyists for bad corporate actors? https://t.co/d0HGfTt2qW

She completely sold out a long time ago and the latin community on my block can’t stand her. Definitely not progressive. I’ve been noticing a lot of young white men connected to real estate supporting her. They bother locals around Tompkins all the time. It’s really obnoxious.

“A lot of young white men”

All of the white mansplaining Twitter boys from open ny. They’re all realestate investors who are finding Carolinas campaign. If all of Ben Thypins minions fund someone, then you know who to NOT vote for!

packed jar of mayonnaise (“😤🍼😫”)

You retweeted a sentiment literally directed at you, Einsthypin

Yesterday I learned exactly how YIMBYs on Twitter abuse the platform to silence their critics. I was unfairly suspended from Twitter all day for publishing *PUBLIC* FEC data showing @CarlinaRivera is funded by lobbyists+big real estate. Now I need YOUR help to spread the word.

spoiler: Twitter is a yumbo 👋

The reason why Big Real Estate dominates political fundraising for politicos like @CarlinaRivera is that their business model increasingly revolves around corrupt rezonings, shady tax breaks, and sweetheart deals for public land. Not hard to understand…

… and Carlina ain’t no ally

Details regarding Carlina Rivera’s support from various leading real estate players — including YIMBY maven Ben Thypin and Brooklyn’s Walentas family — can be found on this thread from Indypendent contributor @tfine.https://t.co/EGAeM2JM3G

“yimby maven” (🙊)

Um, are the rest of us allowed to say the real name of Voldemort? If too many people see his name in a public campaign finance document, does all the steel inheritance $ disappear in a puff of smoke, or do all yimbys suddenly get yanked out of the matrix all at once? 🧙‍♂️🔮

(“Voldemort”🙊)

Hey Jon, bud, there's a reason it is a stigma to take money from your boys. And there's a reason you give it out! I didn't make it up!

“jon mcmillan” is the SVP of development at TF Cornerstone but pretends to be a “little landlord” on Twitter

👋

The amount of money this story against Carlina is based on is comparable to how much money Yuh-Line has taken from real estate interests in violation of her pledge (and YLN’s donations represent more on a % of donations basis) but somehow the latter didn’t merit a story 🤔

Post-primary update (yimbees be mad):

Uh, didn’t Carlina Rivera come in fourth?

Doesn’t surprise me. The same reason white men love AOC is the same reason white men or toxic bros of all colors love Carlina Rivera.

  They used to hate AOC, too, because they’re all Amazon bootlickers who got their panties in a twist when Bezos quit his unrealistic and unpopular HQ2LIC proposal in Queens in 2019. These yumbots are now all pretending to be pro union, even lying slumlord Earl of Thypin: but we still see them for exactly what they are👋

    Also maybe the Amazon vs. Google war has simmered down. That’s why I think AOC got involved with Amazon.
