Mamdani hasn't yet stopped the criminal bike crackdown and is dodging questions about it. We know he personally disagrees with the policy.

I have to wonder if Cherée Buggs's utterly shitbrained ruling reversing the 31st St redesign is an attempt to screw with Mamdani in advance. The Queens Dem Party doesn't like him, Buggs must be part of that machine to even get to be a judge, & Mamdani is known for being for this type of redesign.
The 31st Street ruling killing the bike lane might be one of the dumbest ever, because it's not just an error of judgement, it's an error of geometry!

If this is accurate, Cheree Buggs (the judge) is a complete buffoon who just set a legal precedent that, if allowed to stand, would prevent the city from any safety redesign that annoys a handful of disgruntled suburbanites who drive to the businesses they inherited from their parents.

The 114th precinct basically acknowledged that the 31st St businesses' lawsuit against the safety redesign of that street is causing a safety nightmare there for pedestrians.
Also, there's a very creative scam artist operating in Astoria.

NYC progressives who want to bring the NYPD to heel, it is our mission to constantly talk about Tisch like the corrupt little oligarchic princess and ICE collaborator that she is.
When talking to non-lefties, emphasize her corruption, which this article discusses.

If you're interested in the debate about whether Zohran Mamdani should keep Jessica Tisch as police commissioner — and in the future of policing in New York City — this @attackerman.bsky.social piece is very much worth a read.

A crazy number of people in NYC still seem to think bikers are the enemies of Pedestrians, despite the fact that WE are the ped advocates. FFS, we're the ones pushing daylighting which is easily the biggest Ped safety initiative and *drivers* are fighting it to preserve parking!
