An immigrant, Muslim, Democratic Socialist won! Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani for running a campaign about what he's for, not just what he's against, and for showing that people-powered movements can win while being outspent. Thank you for putting the demos (people) back into democracy.

Actually no. There are no questions about this. A court order is a court order.

I give Mayor Bhalla credit for admitting it was a mistake to not install protected bike lanes on Washington.
It’s good to learn from the past. And I bet businesses would be more supportive this time around given evidence of their effectiveness in separating road traffic here in Jersey City.

It's blatant and overt. Trump is selling the USG off for parts and Musk is reaping the profits.
Corruption. In five parts.
– Musk spends $290M to elect Trump and other Republicans
– Trump gives Musk control of the executive branch
– Musk dismantles the agencies that regulate his companies
– Trump does a commercial for a struggling Musk company
– Musk donates another $100M to Trump

Longer clip. This is the ENERGY we need to defeat growing authoritarianism. Notably, later in the day, a plan to cut off social security recipients from telephone customer service was taken off the table by DOGE/Trump after initially being proposed. I am sure this helped.
