Not only is what Mamdani doing *completely bog-standard politics*, it’s also *exactly the same thing leftists have long yelled at Democrats for doing.* Either you guys have never paid three minutes of attention to politics before this or you’ve genuinely got a cult of personality going.

nyc fighting waymo is like reading about people who used to fight seatbelts. every time I see young children cross at the intersection near my house where a pedestrian was killed earlier this year, I wish autonomous vehicles were in my neighborhood.

Let's talk about rideshare in DC. DC residents have been complaining for years about longer waits, higher prices, fewer drivers when you actually need one. Back in 2016-17, my passengers were already complaining about this. Is it real, or just vibes? I looked at the data. 🧵

There's no substitute for high-quality, high-capacity mass transit in a metropolitan area like DC. Without @wmata.com, life in the DMV would be far less sustainable, in every sense: environment, congestion, economic mobility, and regional connectivity. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

A lot of excellent testimonies at DC Council's hearing on local transportation issues today. As always, @jlrhart.bsky.social's passionate testimony was a beacon of inspiration, advocating for action to make streets safer for our children and families after years of backsliding on Vision Zero goals.

Some sighted people say taking Waymos feels like a loss of control. Many blind people say the opposite.
