Sometimes being an activist can feel defeating.

But then I remember that humpback whales were considered so endangered that an entire Star Trek movie was made about them in the 80s.

Now, because of the work of thousands, humpbacks are now a classified as a ‘species of least concern’.

Of course we get ample protein. This is about capitalism selling us something we don’t need.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

It's all BS. He's doing what they were going to do with or without a shutdown. He's just blabbering & trying to redirect attention. Its HIS shutdown & he was going to do this crap anyway regardless. Stop giving him a platform for these lies.

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

He's spoken extensively about the kinds of people he wants staffing various city agencies and the folks across multiple administrations he's gone to for advice. It's all very encouraging and a sign that he might actually get shit done, even with the many challenges coming from the Trump regime.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.
