Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Another cold water swim this morning, followed by a session in the sauna! Oh bliss! Did two large laps of the lake, then dished in the sauna’s heat for half an hour. Then home for a yummy brunch. #BeckenhamPlacePark #MeTime #ColdWaterSwimming
