Brooklyn had in 2008, but also—finally!—bidets in those aforementioned five bathrooms. "We will be installing a few bidets into Gracie Mansion," Mamdani said on Tuesday, adding with a laugh, "That's an aspirational hope; we'll see if we can get in done." If installing a bidet is "aspirational," where does that leave universal child care?  Perhaps Mamdani is referring to the cost of buying five bidets—the TOTO Washlet S5 (the one I own) currently retails for a cool $587.70 on BidetKing.com, quite the purchase for someone whose mantra is "affordability." (The S5 may also not fit on Gracie Mansion's existing toilets, thus requiring new, elongated toilets, an additional expense to both purchase and install—we've asked the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, the

On Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams announced that his administration would be moving ahead with a new rule limiting all e-bikes to a 15 mph speed limit. The rule will take effect on October 24, and will apply to "e-bikes, e-scooters, and pedal-assist commercial bicycles," most of which are manufactured to travel at a top speed of 20 mph. Mayor Adams's decision to crack down on immigrant delivery cyclists at a time when the Trump administration is looking for any pretext to deport as many people as possible, is best seen as the most recent gambit in a long parade of last-ditch attempts to pander to his loudest and most reactionary constituents. Need proof? Well, you could point to the fact that the new speed limit flies in the face of data from the City's own Department of Transportation on just how "dangerous" e-bike riders are: through April 30 of this year, just 0.6 percent out of the 2,992 total reported pedestrian injuries in the City were caused by e-bikes. Or you could note that the New Yorkers who commented on the new rule overwhelmingly testified against it, or that the Adams administration has far overstepped their statutory authority in setting the speed limit (state legislation designates the City Council as the body responsible for setting speed limits on e-bikes.)

@johnwtomac.com Yeah, okay, #HellgateNYC agrees here..

When a small town resists the billionaire bulldozer & wins it's not just a local victory—it's a blueprint for global defiance. From Upstate NY to Gaza unity matters.
