New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin have reached a deal to abolish NYC's horse carriage industry — a critical breakthrough in a decadeslong, politically fraught effort to ban the tourist attraction. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
Mamdani and City Council strike deal to ban NYC horse carriage industry
The deal marks a major breakthrough in a long-running effort to outlaw the industry. It is also likely to inflame Mamdani’s relationship with a powerful local union.

Had the great honor of literally standing with @repilhan.bsky.social and I stand with her today. She represents my Minneapolis district and it will be a joy to vote for her again in November.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced.

Oh boy, I got a ton of nasty comments yesterday after I praised Ilhan Omar for being the great American citizen that she is. But I also realize that the angry posters are loyal to the President. And I’m sure Putin appreciates their support.

I left X almost exactly two years ago because of the violent, celebrated rape culture that was dominating the platform. Two years later, I’m undeniably better off, and the culture around sexual violence at large is arguably worse. I believe X has played a serious role in that.

I left Twitter because I was permanently banned for writing about fascism. . .

. . .Because Twitter is now a fascist platform controlled by the richest fascist in the world.

Some of us aren’t allowed there. So, the pro-X discourse seems like desperate (fascist) propaganda.
It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied)

What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.)

The same thing happened with the animation studio which worked on that shitty Bluey knock-off, Chip Chilla. The animators had no clue it was a Ben Shapiro project until after they started working on it. Shapiro has a history of lying and hiding until it's too late and people get stuck in bad deals.

Arguments have begun in Safe Homes St. Paul v. City of St. Paul, the procedural battle over whether the St. Paul City Council broke the law when it refused to place the Right to Repair ordinance on the ballot on grounds that the law itself was allegedly invalid.
Tomorrow, Monday 10/12, the Minnesota Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in the Right to Repair case. To recap: the City Council voted not to place the question in the ballot, the District Court disagreed and ordered that it must be, and the MN Supreme Court declined extraordinary remedy.

If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms.

Again, it bears pointing out, if groups of vigilantes started attacking random people of color in Minnesota, and the people of color defended themselves, we all know who the police would support.
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"
