I wish that were true, but in most cases I’ve experienced or witnessed of verbal abuse like this, especially from a powerful man, it’s rare that anyone says anything

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has said he would evict the Elizabeth Street Garden in his first year in office.
That promise just got a lot more complicated, thanks to Mayor Adams's First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro.

Adams Administration Gives Middle Finger to Mamdani (and Homeless Seniors) and Turns Elizabeth Street Garden Into Parkland
First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro was behind the move, which will make it much harder for the new administration to build affordable housing on the site.

Anyway, these travel books are over a hundred years old, definitely used in someone's voyages, mental or physical - the maps have been refolded at slight angles - and it's hard not to get distracted by old descriptions of roads, which had only just begun to be altered for automobile traffic.

Working late on a stack of Baedekers, imagining a whole generation not experiencing currency conversion at European borders... let alone the different standards of weights and measures each country used to have.
Did you know Herbert Hoover was involved in international standardization?

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Today, New Mexico launched its universal childcare initiative. Last month I wrote about it for Roosevelt Institute -- historic state endeavors like this should show lawmakers at all levels of government that Americans are sick and tired of waiting for bold action on childcare. shorturl.at/Sm2tZ

I agree that social infrastructure should be front and center right now. It’s not true that none of this would ever happen. It can. There are organized people & people w $$ looking to make a change. This is where money should go. This is actually what people who value democracy should do.
It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.
