Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”

Mamdani just doesn't miss. He said the people of new york are his focus, and his actions haven't wavered. I really hope we get someone like this for Atlanta. www.wsj.com/us-news/mamd...
Mamdani Is Shunning New York Business Leaders Who Are Used to Calling the Shots
The mayor fired corporate leaders from a city fund’s advisory board in the latest sign that he is changing the way such power brokers access City Hall.

Does APD make Atlanta safer? No. Both the just loaf'n and APD vehicles were PARKED.
... georgia is a terrible place for having babies and general obgyn care... also, "The lawsuit asks for a jury trial and at least $10,000 in damages" is so far below the floor of what this woman should be getting. Wtf.

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Why is michael julien bond still a sitting councilman...???!!!???!!! #300Violations
APD solves TWO PERCENT of crimes, and they get FORTY percent of our operating budget.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
I'll be willing to buy the desirability of data centers once they locate one in Beverly Hills and one next to Mar-A-Lago.

What is this lightning show?
At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Brian Lyman@brianlyman.bsky.social · last wk.A lot of what-the-hell moments in this story, but building a data center in a floodplain in Louisiana is inviting the wrath of Poseidon.
This is so so so so good. If you live in Atlanta, please read! "At the heart of this narrative is the identity crisis of a city most often defined by its Blackness despite the exclusionary political economy that undergirds its success."

This city needs some DEEP CLEANING!!!!!!!! We basically paid some dude $420k per year to gum up the cop city petition process. And it worked! www.ajc.com/news/2026/07...
Atlanta paid him more than the mayor. It has little record of his work.
Atlanta has produced little record showing what former municipal clerk Foris Webb III did to earn $420,000 a year for much of his time as a city contractor.
