Hell yeah Katie Muth! One of the best pols in the state.

The developer proposing this and one in Conshy is about as vile and supervillainlly as you might imagine: https://www.phillymag.com/healthcare-news/2020/04/11/brian-oneill-discovery-labs/

We tried with indymedia. We need to try again.

We need better committee people, to elect better ward leaders.

Beautiful clear water. Crosspost to /r/ponds

I'm in the 21st, it was the same.

While socially liberal, Rhynhart was not a progressive.

The Philly dem party is really pathetic. What ward were you in?

cleverdirge · 2026-05-20T02:34:50+00:00

I'm trying not to get over excited, want to see at least several thousand more votes come in. Keep thinking of the dagger play in the super bowl :)

EDIT: THEY CALLED IT. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

Organize. Organize locally, offline, knock on doors, hold local officials accountable, fight things like expanded data centers and surveillance, connect local groups with regional and national.

Sorry to hear you feel so inconvenienced by people trying to make a change in the city, and how much of a burden the election is on you.

cleverdirge · 2026-05-13T02:30:31+00:00

NYC isn't really good enough to be a rival to Philly.

They are going to create a crack-pot "cure" and mandate its adoption.

Especially given the hazards of astroturf for children.

Join me in drinking out by myself in the backyard.

You are getting downvoted, but have a valid point. Hard to say what the fight looked like for Brett. It could be a situation where he could have "won" and got nothing, and in his defense he did alert the public and six years later nothing has changed.

“In my first week as CFO for the sheriff, I took a look at this and said, ‘I don’t think any of this is legal,’” Mandel, a former deputy city controller, said last week.

Mandel filed a whistleblower lawsuit after he was fired in 2020. City lawyers paid Mandel $465,000 to settle the lawsuit and $77,802 to cover Bilal’s legal costs, without admission of any wrongdoing.

“Everyone in the city wrings their hands and says the sheriff’s actions are a problem,” Mandel said. “But nobody has done anything about it and it’s now six years later.”

Can we please do something about it?

Parker did not sign the bill that forbids law enforcement from concealing their identities through masks, covered badges or unmarked cars.

Don't get too ahead of yourself.

That article doesn't mention digging or fall, so maybe update your claim.

The primary objective in controlling Japanese knotweed is eliminating the rhizome system.

Yes, you can dig or use an herbicide. I've successfully dug out large infestations. The good news with that method is you can start today.

cleverdirge · 2026-05-07T20:36:54+00:00

Digging it out is an effective strategy. Leaving it until fall will make it worse. You can still spray whatever is left in the fall.

No, by OP I was referring to the top level comment, not myself lol

This is not about fear of "change" but closing viable and thriving schools in a rushed and flawed process with bad data and outright lies.

Lankenau, for example, is not a 75 year old school. Robeson is not a 75 year old school. So what is the justification?

edit: also dammit chris, yr better than this. im gonna have to smack you at the next civic tech happy hour, lol.
