"Cleaning up Kensington could pave the way for surging development and soaring property values — leaving the same speculators who enabled the disorder and disrepair poised to cash in."

I just want to personally thank @JDVance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I didn’t think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful. 🙏

The Democrats need to unite around a single goal:
To nominate the candidate with the best chance to win.
And they need to COLLABORATE, not compete, to do it.

From a top Dem fundraiser (OK, @george_cl_0ff):
"Our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw ... We are not going to win in November with this president." nytimes.com/2024/07/10/opini…

There's a reason they weren't more aggressive and didn't "have him out earlier, to show there was nothing."
They know he just couldn't do it.
Don't sacrifice our future to your vanity. Pass the torch.

How is it a favor to underprivileged kids to replace woods and meadows with blazing hot, injury-causing, carcinogenic plastic turf?
The most important green part of this looks to be 💵💵💵.

What "councilmanic prerogative" leads to in Philadelphia. The arrogance.
It's so nice to just sit quietly under a tree in a park, says @CouncilmemberKJ at Wharton Square.
Just watch what this environmental champion does next...

Are you angry about this needless destruction of South Philly’s only nature spot for a toxic turf wasteland?
SHOW IT! Come to the park by 11:00am on Monday to protest.

They want to get this done fast and dirty with as few witnesses as possible.
@PhillyMayor @CouncilmemberKJ @PhilaParkandRec and @myphillypark are responsible for this crime.
SATURDAY MORNING Trees are coming down again! This time the river birches.
Who can get down there? Share with your network! This cannot be done without the people watching, without the people yelling MURDER!

Eleven South Philly residents opposed to the city’s reimagining of FDR Park have filed a lawsuit, asking a judge to issue an injunction on work across the park, as well a declaratory judgment stating the city can’t move forward with the renovation plans.
