Brad Lander physically put his body on the line to protect a person being targeted by ICE goons, and this was the result. He’s an elected city official and mayoral candidate, but he’s also a good person. If every elected Dem showed that kind of bravery, we’d be in a much different position.

To all these Very Concerned® ostensibly neutral parties, Bluesky is simultaneously too fractious and argumentative and also too uniform of thought. It's a neat trick. You'd think both could be true only if the people making the case were just bullshitting to push an agenda. Who can say.

Yeah it's a longer list if I include comics and book series like Boxcar Children and Hardy Boys

Freeze the rent? Many mayors have done this before.
Fast, free buses? The downtown portion of Buffalo’s subway line is free. Buses were free during the pandemic. It’s not radical.
City-run grocery stores? Probably the most radical/hardest to get off the ground, but not that out there!

It's also just weird whenever Conservatives complain about the importance of "diversity of thought" but not in reference to income, education, geography, disability, immigration status, or sexuality.

I'm going to stop posting quotes, but man: "The legacy of 2020 is that of a profound and still totally unhealed rupture—of a society that failed a stress test, continuing to limp along without ever resolving or even acknowledging any of the horrors it experienced and inflicted upon itself."

"Any prosecution is proof—not of guilt, but of purity of heart." I have been to some terrible tech conferences, but this sounds a million times worse.

In 2021, the final round of voting ended with more than 140K exhausted ballots, or ones that didn't list either of the final two candidates — 20 times Adams's margin of victory. If about 5% of those had listed Garcia in any of the five slots she would have beaten Adams.
