Mamdani loves city staff. In govt, execs have little control over hiring, firing, bonuses, promotions or demotions. Mamdani knows the trick is tapping govt workers' love of the meaningfulness of their work, inspiring them to their best, and protecting them in tough times

Unbelievable. In 2024, 378 North Carolinians were killed in speed-related crashes and almost 8,000 more were injured.

NC man was caught driving on a revoked license 28 times. Then he killed my husband.
Every one of those 28 stops was a moment when North Carolina had this driver in front of it. Here’s what the state could do now. | Opinion

10,000 fewer on-street car parking spaces. That's the pledge from Amsterdam's new coalition government over the next four years. While many cities still argue whether change is possible, Amsterdam is reclaiming its public realm one tree, bench, bike rack, terrace, playground, and garden at a time.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

She fucking killed an entire family while speeding in her Mercedes SUV and they’re not going to even take her license away??
On Friday, realizing that Chan was considering a sentence that did not include prison time for Lau, the siblings of the two deceased parents pleaded for Lau to be ordered to home detention and
"meaningful" community service. They also asked the judge to consider revoking her driver's license.

A friend shared his letter to his family, from 1960, prior to joining fourteen comrades in destroying some 40,000 draft records, then signing hymns while waiting for police to arrest them. Such valor may soon be called for. May our actions now honor their sacrifices then.
