@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: "We need to move as fast as working New Yorkers do. If a New Yorker is late, the speed they're walking at is faster than our city buses — that's why we have to speed up our buses, and that's why we have to bring our housing code up to the year we're actually living in."

"I can see very plainly there is a hunger for Democrats to not be the party of strongly worded letters. If I can be one of a litany of voices demanding they start to embrace a willingness to fight, then I have an obligation given my position in this ecosystem to say it." My chat with @atrupar.com:

He views it as a necessary first step to ultimately shoehorn through sweeping changes that Republicans have been unsuccessful at implementing."
