Last week was the Traffic Enforcement Motorcycle Unit's first week patrolling our most dangerous streets — and they issued 652 summonses for reckless driving, speeding, improper parking, and more. The unit’s number one goal: Saving lives and achieving Vision Zero.

Shoppers in upstate New York month turned up a rare find while perusing a local antique store this month: a live owl resting peacefully among items on a shelf.

Jersey City - the most diverse city in the US along with NYC - turned out to protest ICE. Very good to see so many residents and local elected officials standing up for the people. Thank you to everyone who added their voice. Thanks to Jordan Coll for this reporting. @jordancollnewz.bsky.social

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Healthcare is a human right. Democratic Senators should fight for it like lives depend on it because they do.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings and sexual assaults in several states, warns an FBI bulletin to law enforcement agencies issued last month. The bulletin urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Mohammed Ibrahim is a Florida-born American citizen — a teenage boy — who just turned 16 in an Israeli prison cell. He’s still there. Trapped. Kidnapped since February. Denied basic medical care, contact with his family, and a trial.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This is about more than immigration. It’s about fighting for basic human rights and preserving our democracy.

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!" The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:

If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

I’m sure a few more attacks on Mamdani can push that number lower.

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

i’m not seeing here in the constitution where it says every single day must be insane

We’re working hard to clear out trolls and bot accounts. If you see them, don’t engage(just report and move on). Lately, we’ve seen MAGA circles flooding comment sections with vile rhetoric toward immigrants. That kind of language has no place here, and we won’t tolerate it.

the NYT is the NYP with smaller font headlines

I’ve been loudly warning people about the rise of fascism for over 15 years but even now I still get treated like Randy Quaid in Independence Day even though now they have their own massive masked secret police and concentration camps.

If you’re an elected Democrat (rightly) complaining about the GOP kicking 17 million people off of Medicaid, now is a good and credible time to critique the entire broken work-based non-universal US healthcare system. Now is the time to call for universal healthcare, for Medicare for All.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Hell of a photo

The BBC is still promoting Israel's lies - 20 months into the genocide. Coverage of the aid massacres is another depraved case study in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/bbc-promot...

Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

PATH's ability to troll is unmatched. Incredible levels of contempt for transit riders, truly remarkable.

Dec '24, 3,894 passengers were getting off at the PATH WTC stop...with just 3 trains an hour being provided! That's 1,298 passengers per train, well above the 900 design capacity of each. By comparison, 13 trains arrive weekdays 6-7am when 3,316 pax get off. @hudcostreets.org @2avesag.as

Good night 😴 War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself. Benjamin Franklin

Even Tory MPs are calling out Starmer's support for Israel. People are beginning to realise the savage judgement that will befall all those who failed to do something when they had the chance.

Aid groups are raising the alarm in increasingly drastic messages, warning that the humanitarian support for Gazans is “on the verge of total collapse.”

More PATH trains! Much needed.

Omg do not tick “art” when joining Bluesky.
