@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.

He likes to yell right up into my face every time he sees me with a list of grievances that are easily disproven. But facts are inconvenient, apparently.

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.

IN THE USA…

Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?

Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing…
