I have to wonder if CherΓ©e Buggs's utterly shitbrained ruling reversing the 31st St redesign is an attempt to screw with Mamdani in advance. The Queens Dem Party doesn't like him, Buggs must be part of that machine to even get to be a judge, & Mamdani is known for being for this type of redesign.

If this is accurate, Cheree Buggs (the judge) is a complete buffoon who just set a legal precedent that, if allowed to stand, would prevent the city from any safety redesign that annoys a handful of disgruntled suburbanites who drive to the businesses they inherited from their parents.

NYC progressives who want to bring the NYPD to heel, it is our mission to constantly talk about Tisch like the corrupt little oligarchic princess and ICE collaborator that she is.
When talking to non-lefties, emphasize her corruption, which this article discusses.

A crazy number of people in NYC still seem to think bikers are the enemies of Pedestrians, despite the fact that WE are the ped advocates. FFS, we're the ones pushing daylighting which is easily the biggest Ped safety initiative and *drivers* are fighting it to preserve parking!

Donate to firefighter Ben Chou for NYC council. Heβs running against MAGA Vickie Paladino. New Yorkers deserve officials who want to fight fires, not political arsonists. If you live in Benβs district, please vote in November. This is a winnable race.

It's helpful to remember that when a cyclist collides with a pedestrian, it's vanishingly unlikely to cause a serious injury, unlike when a car collides with a pedestrian or cyclist. I was hurt worse when a runner crashed into me than the one time a cyclist collided with me as a pedestrian.

For all the breathless, sweating panic about Mamdani one time saying "seize the means of production" and AOC being both hot and socialist, by far the greatest threat of central economic planning and gulag labor comes indisputably from the Right.
