Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.
As @nyc.streetsblog.org reported today, Mayor Mamdani helped fix the Williamsburg Bridge exit (nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/06/g...), but no project is official until I take the first ride!
Looking forward to the exciting papers in this hybrid conference.

Hello my friends. Presenting the conclusion of UNTIL IT'S DONE. Written, as always, by the legendary Julian Gerson. Tomorrow, we win a city we can all afford.
The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Nothing will happen to them. We are not in a democracy.
Kristi Noem didn't renew the expired call center contracts for five days, resulting in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) failing to answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line from flood survivors in Texas. It's malevolence mixed with incompetence again and again.

Fuck everyone supporting this.
I hope NYT loses a substantial number of subscribers because of this hit piece.
The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...
