This is why Zohran Mamdani won. He's a modern, educated American with a sense of humor who not only knows how to communicate, but understands and empathizes with the plight of working class Americans. I sincerely hope the Democratic Party is taking notes.

Very curious about this.
As the City's Accountant, we're working to calculate City related costs to protests in response to the violent ICE raids & militarization of our City. One question we've been getting asked a lot is: "HOW MUCH HAVE LA TAXPAYERS PAID IN LAPD LIABILITIES RE: PROTEST EVENTS?" 🧵

The latest Executive Order has a direct impact on CDFIs like @InclusivAction that focus on growing businesses and creating jobs! The dismantling of the CDFI Fund will be devastating for communities with limited access to capital. https://t.co/7oyGtoCIWA

The order targeting the agencies, which include one overseeing government-funded media outlets, appeared to test the bounds of the president’s power.

In a city lacking communal spaces, town squares, placitas, compared to other countries, these stands create spaces to be with friends and neighbors outside in the open air. These stands add so much character to our city. Love, protect, but most importantly, enjoy them. #Tacolife
I'm really obsessed with the taco stands I pass on my bike commute home at night. Lately, I've wanted to commute just to see them. The lighting is so good. The people are amazing. They are a perfect still life of LA. I don't think I even noticed this from my car.
