Took this pic at National Action Network the Sat before elections and before increasing islamophobic whispers and comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , some disguised as policy differences, became raving unabashed full-blown unhidded hateful rants

An immigrant, Muslim, Democratic Socialist won! Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani for running a campaign about what he's for, not just what he's against, and for showing that people-powered movements can win while being outspent. Thank you for putting the demos (people) back into democracy.

Actually no. There are no questions about this. A court order is a court order.

Looking at the headlines of all the mistakes and inaccuracies that DOGE makes again and again and again makes on think that it needs its own DOGE to axe it for being terribly inefficient.

I give Mayor Bhalla credit for admitting it was a mistake to not install protected bike lanes on Washington.

Itโ€™s good to learn from the past. And I bet businesses would be more supportive this time around given evidence of their effectiveness in separating road traffic here in Jersey City.

@eaconner.bsky.social am watching your good advocacy re: a protected bike lane on Washington. See these 2 screen shots. One from an elected often fabricates to avoid admitting fault. The other is of my brother, openly saying he made a mistake qnd should have voted for a protected bike lane. Telling.

It's blatant and overt. Trump is selling the USG off for parts and Musk is reaping the profits.

Longer clip. This is the ENERGY we need to defeat growing authoritarianism. Notably, later in the day, a plan to cut off social security recipients from telephone customer service was taken off the table by DOGE/Trump after initially being proposed. I am sure this helped.

Judges Are Pushing Back on Trumpโ€™s Actions. Hereโ€™s a Look at Key Rulings. Taken as a whole, the rulings represent an effort to thwart President Trumpโ€™s serial attempts to increase his power and the executive branchโ€™s dominion over the government.

In response to President Trumpโ€™s executive orders and his all-out assault on government bureaucracy, federal judges across the U.S. have issued rulings at a blistering rate for the past two months. Read the key passages in several noteworthy rulings here.

Hoboken council leaders endorse Bhalla, Brennan for Assembly - New Jersey Globe A pair of Hoboken Council leaders endorsed Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and former Murphy administration official Katie Brennan for Assembly this week,

Momentum continues. Terrific to see Hoboken's City Council President, Jim Doyle, and Vice President, @philiphcohen.bsky.social are supporting Ravi and Katie for State Assembly. Deeply respect Jim and Phil for their integrity and consistency of public service.

Bhalla and Brennan forge slate for Hudson Assembly seats - New Jersey Globe Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and former Murphy administration official Katie Brennan will run together in bids for the Democratic nomination for State

Ravi and Katie are genuine and with real policy chops BUT also know politics and getting things done. It's a great duo to take on the Hudson County machine. Hudson progressives, we have a real chance to build governing power. @katiebrennan.bsky.social newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/...

This week, @hudcostreets.org @bikehoboken.org sat down with Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla to discuss improvements to PATH service. Itโ€™s great to have a strong advocate for transit in office!

Trump is ready to target immigrants. How will these sanctuary cities react? One North Jersey mayor affirms his city's measures to protect undocumented immigrants targeted by federal authorities.

"Our municipal budget is often strained... And we don't want those resources, those taxpayer dollars diverted toward doing work that the federal government thinks is a priority for itself." said Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla, the son of Indian immigrants

Hoboken, NJ hasnโ€™t had a traffic death in EIGHT YEARS.

Hobokenโ€™s Mayor Ravi Bhalla has implemented #VisionZero in a comprehensive, layered way โ€“ and itโ€™s working.

We learned more about Hobokenโ€™s playbook SPUR tonight. While SF is a lot bigger, Hoboken is more than twice as dense!

I was so excited to meet with Mayor Bhalla of Hoboken, NJ to hear about his success with implementing Vision Zero in his city. They have had ZERO traffic-related deaths since the implementation. Truly amazing. And Happy Birthday to his wife, Bindya, who does important violence prevention work. ๐Ÿฅณ
