And yet @petebuttigieg.bsky.social just endorsed Bruce Harrell for Seattle mayor
It's not just Mamdani. Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson--the Dems may soon have a remarkable cast of young, gifted mayors

This bridge is the worst and I’m glad to see it go
Watch as workers demolish an obsolete and much despised bike bridge next to the BNSF Railway yard, to make way for a wider and level trail.
A bane of thousands of Seattle bicyclists just bit the dust

So when she said she was Levitating in her song, she actually meant Maglev-itating
"Train is the new private jet." Dua Lipa continues to promote taking the train over flying, boarding a Eurostar to London at Gare du Nord. This is climate-conscious messaging done right. Posted by lejeuneengage on IG.
