@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on making public transit accessible: "I think the way that you move around the city, it influences the way in which you see the city. Too often if you're riding around only in a car with tinted windows, the only New Yorker you might see is a reflection of yourself."
Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor
Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

THIS. I grew up in Portland, co-founded the umbrella organization (called "Umbrella") that fiscally sponsors world naked bike ride and other street culture groups/projects, and have dressed in more costumes for public good than I can count. I'm also chair of the planning commission. Only in PDX.

Yeah. I think the initial poke-back at the "war-ravaged" frame was important, but now it's time to shift to talking about where resources should *actually* go, which is housing and supporting people's basic needs, not invading, terrorizing, detaining, bombing, and starving people, here and abroad.
