Keisha Lance Bottoms is the great-great-granddaughter of an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek. She will soon live in the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, mere miles from where he was enslaved, as the first-ever Black woman elected Governor.

And this is the bigger picture people need to lock in and keep in mind. This is not just about Ed Sheeran or Macklemore. Censorship is getting dangerous by the elite.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells TMZ that the Ed Sheeran controversy is a gateway to a much bigger threat to artists’ freedom of speech: “You see what Robert Kraft did to line up all of the stadium [owners] to censor speech in that one specific way, it becomes clear this is not just about one music artist or two music artists. This is about how just a handful of stadium owners and the elites could prevent an entire massive issue like the genocide in Gaza [from being discussed]. It doesn’t stop there; it could be speaking about AI or any issue. You can just get a handful of stadium owners to ensure that an entire person’s career can be jeopardized if they speak out about any issues.”

🚨 Zohran Mamdani installs modern garbage bins on NYC streets to remove trash from sidewalks.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Mayor Mamdani is expanding the program, former mayor Eric Adams initiated it, installing 1,100 ‘Empire Bins’ in West Harlem in 2025. nyc.gov/mayors-office/…

This is governance, I am very sorry to tell you all. If you like take it, if you like leave it. This is the sort of stuff your government should be involved in and fighting on your behalf for. Whether they win or lose, or whether you agree or not. It’s that simple
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability. It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

5 years ahead of schedule and $195 million under budget!? LETTTTSSSS GOOOOOOOOO BUILD STUFF AGAIN
Five years ahead of schedule. $195 million under budget. Since October 2023, crews replaced 196 bridge structures and more than 12,600 feet of railroad along the 133-year-old Park Avenue Viaduct—all over 28 tightly coordinated weekends while maintaining full Metro-North service. The work took place along a critical corridor carrying 98% of Metro-North trains—approximately 750 trains and 260,000 passengers every day. With the major structural replacement now complete, we asked the project lead how the MTA delivered the work faster and for less without disrupting service.

Mayor Mamdani at the Knicks Ceremony: “We as the city are often forced to come together in the moments in tragedy, what a blessing it is to come together in a moment of joy.” Made me cry, because it’s true.

Obama got emotional in a recent interview recalling how he used to read letters from Americans all over the country. And then I got emotional remembering how presidents used to be able to read.

Having hobbies as an adult is wild. You’ll get emotionally demolished at work and then be like “Anyway, I’m off to swimming class at 6:30 pm”

What a privilege it is to afford a gym, buy healthy food, pay bills, have legs that walk, eyes that see, a brain that functions, work every day, and take our bodies to their full potential.

An OBAMA APPOINTED judge just saved NPR and PBS. That means your vote from 2012 is helping stop corruption and protect free speech FOURTEEN years later. This is why you vote
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked Trump’s order to end funding for NPR and PBS.
