Worth mentioning too that they can have a domain like mayor.nyc.gov and have verified accounts for all future mayors off of that and autoarchiving of all posts! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social this would also be great over here in Seattle.

If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the new Office of Mass Engagement want to protect our neighbors from ICE and our residents from inequitable price gouging driven by surveillance technologies, supporting bills like this one is essential.
Rebecca, do you happen to know about this attempt to pass a local law re: biometric recognition etc.?
If we can ask the new mayor to support this, or make it more robust, why not? Unless there is a better way to go about it?

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

damn. I just searched and the piece I wrote for them years ago about domestic violence and Title IX is gone
Hello repro writers from the mid to late 20 teens - I just discovered Cosmopolitan at some point pulled almost every politics/repro story from the 5 years I wrote for them offline (except two, which they put under someone else's name and gave me "additional reporting" which it very much was not)

Has Mamdani already driven out the least-qualified fire chief in the history of New York?
This Adams crony owns “one of the largest security and janitorial service companies” in Israel; he was never a firefighter or emergency response official…but he liked chasing fire trucks when he was a kid.

Eric Adams literally appeared on stage with Louis Farrakhan in the 1990's, and defended the Nation of Islam to then-Mayor David Dinkins, and the ADL did not talk about it this much.
A lawyer on Zohran Mamdani's transition team has a history of praising & associating with Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader infamous for bigoted rhetoric about Jews & other minorities.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
