Too quick to even start the stopwatch ⏱️💨

The car dependent status quo leads us to have some of the most dangerous roads in the developed world. If we want safe streets we have to prioritize all other modes of travel above cars!

Another nice little story about the best newspaper in America.

I asked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social how he'd get things done as mayor of NY knowing that the collective force of the entire oligarchy will be trying to block everything policy he tries to implement. Search "Lever Time" in your podcast app for the full interview - and please share.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Conservatives are already losing their minds over Zohran Mamdani's apparent win. Why? He’s a 33-year-old democratic socialist who has promised free buses and free childcare. But the fact that seems most triggering is that he is Muslim, and would be the first Muslim ever elected the city’s mayor.

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

Tuesday’s Weather Rating: 1/10 I’ve got nothing, man. High temperatures near 100° F with even higher heat index values and sunshine for the entire day. At least there’s an afternoon breeze again? The vibes are diabolical out there today.

This is in fact an example of how government shouldn’t work - complete capture by special interests of city-owned land that will deny seniors housing and exacerbate the affordability crisis. Vote for Jess Coleman instead of Marte. bsky.app/profile/elku...

Here’s your “big news”. TACO.

My opinion: DJT didn’t want to sign anything on Ukraine, didn’t want to meet Zelenskyy, didn’t want to meet Sheinbaum, or anyone (he prefers when they fly to him), “escalated” the situation with Iran via tweet, media’s attention added to the hype and he calmly returned to his favorite schedule.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4
