There’s something important, though, in the fact that Mamdani is going to meet with Trump at the moment of Mamdani’s maximum politician power and popularity and Trump’s greatest weakness and vulnerability. Trump is *always* submissive next to someone who is popular with huge ratings.

I want there to be more intentionality in our city’s growth. And morality. Let’s not build a cog in the plagiarism machine.
The city is so eager to be whatever it needs to be in order for a business to like us. It’s desperate and directionless.
WHY are we doing things before the “can we?”

“we’re able to support attracting a business that is truly the foundation of our region’s high-tech economy.”
We have heard this before. I want to see a plan that explains why having a data center attracts other businesses to the region. Show me a data center that has created a high tech economy.

“Economic development and repurposing surface parking lots continues to be a priority.”
Oh neat - so we can have a huge, windowless warehouse instead of a parking lot.
Green space, affordable housing, anything that can be used by the public? Nope. Warehouse.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

This is why the Epstein files story does matter, beyond just Trump's involvement. This is why so many Silicon Valley billionaires went fascist. #MeToo instilled this fear that rich men may have to lose their boys club where women are objects for trade, instead of people.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.
