There is still much work to be done, but I'm looking at this headline marveling at how it almost feels like a quaint time capsule from 2016 — the ground has shifted dramatically in a few years and on some level even the very fine people at the Post know this sh*t doesn't have the juice anymore
Mamdani hires car-hating activist Ben Furnas to transportation team: ‘war on drivers’
Mamdani hires car-hating activist Ben Furnas to transportation team: ‘war on drivers’
Car-hating Transportation Alternatives boss Ben Furnas has been appointed to Mamdani's transition team for transportation, climate and infrastructure – and his agenda is a nightmare for the city's drivers.

This is why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social needs to go all in on street safety, bike lanes, bus lanes, pedestrians plazas and more. The Post – and the Right in general – is going to call anything he does a “war on drivers” no matter what, so why not just do what’s right and go for it?

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

One reason it's good for Chi Osse to stay in the council and be focused on city business is there is clearly a bloc of council dems who are anxious to --quietly--stifle Zohran's agenda. He'll need all the friends he can get.
