Mamdani is considering ending free street parking in NYC. This would be another huge boost to NYC residents' quality of life, reducing traffic in ways that would be comparable to congestion pricing. And it would be another step in ending suburban free-riding on NYC.
the purpose of a system is what it does
in 4th grade I was a big Accelerated Reader guy (dunno if that exists anymore) and Little Women had more points than any other book in the library. I started like βok letβs slog through this girl shitβ and by the end I was sobbing uncontrollably

Trumpβs power and by extension his entire movement are built around the idea that by asserting something you manifest it in reality. Even if itβs not true many people will behave as if is so you can get away with it.
It is alarmingly effective in law, domestic politics. It cannot unblock a strait.
for example (not that jim cramer is a leader in anything but being a doofus)
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
itβs very good
also thereβs gotta be some rule against using the Indiana Jones font for such a sentiment
The second Trump administration has yet to sign a single contract to build new transit rail lines under a key grant program β and it's deepening a crisis that's already pushed America out of the ranks of the top rail-builders in the world, a new analysis finds.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
The issue here is almost certainly not a lack of a plan. They have a plan for everything. They have a plan for invading Trinidad and Tobago. I'm sure the political leadership had no real interest in it.

I understand the political theory behind this - βlook, weβre on your side re: affordable gasβ - I just think itβs a stupid fucking theory
let them touch the stove, press their hand on it good and hard
this is *particularly* fucking stupid when republicans are all saying that gas prices rising isnβt a big deal and itβll all be over any day now. unbelievably bad political instincts from kelly and blumenthal here.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - βWhen your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.β
Vinegar and Old Bay
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

From your lips to god's fuck'n ear, my friend
Every Dem who is *still* voting for Trump appointees needs a primary challenger yesterday. We can talk about how far back to go, mostly from quality-candidate and resource-management angles.
Hm.
so what happened was, i read nine john le carrΓ© books, then i saw the pictures of the preposterous drapery SCIF at mar a lago where the iran war was being conducted, and then i thought about how many spies there must be at that place

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called βNumidentβ and the βMaster Death File,β include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parentsβ names."
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
