Mamdani reiterates his support for trans folks, his determination to fight "the scourge of antisemitism," and his pledge to fight Islamophobia--and throws a punch at the billionaire-funded campaign of lies against him. "In a time of political darkness, New York will be the light." This is a SPEECH.

Remember when Trump said he wasn’t going to implement a total abortion ban? Yeah, well here’s the bill proposing a nationwide abortion ban.
Just another egregious LIE to add to the long list of lies from this corrupt administration.

The problem with lauding Houston as a great place because it welcomes immigrants is half the story. Yes, it's great that it's welcoming, but the city was built on a swamp. There were floods early on & they continue. The swamp will reclaim the land, as fire has in LA.
Weird to write a piece highlighting pho kolaches as a symbol of why we should want more immigration and then logging in here to find a little firestorm of people who read a pull quote and are angry that I'm against pho kolaches and immigration.
Or I guess maybe just the Internet on an average day.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
