A brilliant opening maneuver. Framing his predecessor's tenure as aberrant and illegitimate is both totally reasonable and creates room for radical change.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Trump has repeatedly voiced support for shooting protesters here in the States. Like, any time there's a protest.

“Not economic development, not economic growth. Justice! The idea that you can care about just outcomes is huge, and that it’s the responsibility of government to make that happen.”
Happy New Year! Zohran Mamdani is the mayor of New York City, and some of his most high-profile aides were among the most effective members of the Biden administration.
I talked to them about their plans for this, the first story at @prospect.org for 2026:

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's vision is an NYC where economic growth & economic justice go hand in hand. That’s only a radical notion because we’ve become so accustomed to economic injustice as the norm.
Doesn’t get better than working with @linamkhan.bsky.social & @saalevine.bsky.social again!

tech has always been terrible about guarding against the abusive use cases of its products, but now those use cases have become the selling point and it is leading to an extraordinarily dark place
The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

There are multiple national political commentators who earnestly predicted that Eric Adams would be a legitimate presidential candidate and a national figurehead of the Democratic party by now and those commentators still have careers somehow.

ugh what a great idea FINE
Going to try something as a new year's resolution: to attempt, on a daily basis, to post a note of praise for something I've read/seen/listened to and liked that day. Not promising I'll do it every single day, but will see how it goes!
