I promise you, you’re not enraged enough about this horrific killing and maiming. The killer has no driver’s license, no insurance, and his vehicle was registered in Mississippi, but he managed to drive it through Manhattan during UN week with a novelty souvenir back plate.

I had to wait 🚴‍♀️behind a school bus 🚌 this morning and each little kid that got off the bus did a little dance move and high-fived the bus matron (patron, actually). A shimmy, a twirl, a floss. Very fun and cute

Americans reading this: do you feel freer? Are masked ICE agents not snatching kids off the street? Can you afford groceries, health care, and housing? Are your tax dollars not funding Israel’s unrepentant slaughter of Palestinians, and the US government repressing any dissent?

Are you GODDAMN KIDDING ME

If the person murdered by a driver and by NYC’s failure to enforce traffic laws in midtown was indeed a tourist I feel bad (just as if it were any other human) but also the fact just hurts differently. You come here to enjoy one of the world’s greatest cities and then… fucking get killed

A tourist was killed, so brutally and callously, right in Midtown, and her husband’s skull fractured. Sounds like drivers were ILLEGALLY blocking the crosswalk and a minivan driver reversed, pinning them against a box truck. Blocking the box is NEVER ENFORCED. This is sickening

Jesus Christ. I walk here every week for class; yesterday cars were blocking the box forcing people to cross in between, and tour and charter buses turn willy-nilly because of double-parked trucks. Aggressive drivers are extra mad about the UN closures… what a mess. How awful.

I did cancel my Disney subscription- I never realized I had it- I did like Hulu to watch SVU, but they’ve moved to “Peacock” so literally no need. Bye

A 75 year old man struck him from behind. How reckless, careless, and distracted do you have to be to hit someone from behind? Poor kid.

Success Academy is hiring teachers! No teaching experience required! t.co/woAFhESHEl

Some of you freaks actually like this weather and it’s incomprehensible to me. It’s foul, humid, and HOT

North Brooklyn 🤝 Western Queens TransAlt happy hour

“They reconnected in 2016 while protesting a homeless shelter” aw, isn’t that sweet 😚 The fact that Phil Wong is running as a Democrat is a failure of Queens Democratic Party leadership. But that’s how reactionary MAGA cranks gain power here, and it works.

“I didn’t know I hit anyone” and a dismissive shrug are acceptable excuses for killing someone in NYC— as long as the murder weapon is your vehicle. This is a grave, callous injustice.

Hey, why doesn’t this murderous Infiniti driver have a front license plate? Is he a NYS resident? So he’s committing registration and insurance fraud. Why wasn’t the vehicle booted? If cops did their jobs, the murder weapon wouldn’t have been available.

These are the drivers you share the road with. These are the people gazing down at their phones while blasting down the road in a 5,000 lb metal box. You are paying for the first responders, medical bills, and cleanup of this senseless act of recklessness. But go off on e-bikes!

Horrifying video. Two women tried crossing the street at a known dangerous intersection off the highway. A driver stopped lawfully to give them the right of way, but the Mercedes driver behind the first car couldn’t be troubled to wait, so she slammed into the car, killing one /

Wow, a Republican State Senator, George Borrello, introduced legislation to increase penalties for license plate fraud. 👏

This is terrible. A driver killed a construction worker who was flagging around a construction site. How fast, reckless, and distracted was this guy to hit a worker in a slow site?? Also, he was driving a white Infiniti… vehicle of choice for aggro shitheads

🔥 District 19 is a diverse, vibrant community that is majority Asian & Latino and 47% Democrat. The people deserve better than to be represented by Vickie Paladino and her racist, hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. Come join Ben Chou’s canvass. Let’s get him into office!!!

“medical episode” “lost control” “possible mechanical error” “mistook gas for brake” “circumstances unclear” “driver remained on scene” “no criminality suspected” Comforting words to the business owner whose store is now completely destroyed 🙂

Drivers will pull up to a fairly full parking lot and see a bunch of cars and go 🙄😩😡 I pull up to a bike rack with some other bikes locked up and have the opposite reaction. I feel, hey cool my bike will probably be safer here and there’s other cyclists here so… cool

Jesus. What a miserable to to start Friday. Look at that intersection. Five lanes wide and no safe turning infrastructure. Driver prob had headphones on and was looking at his phone. Didn’t even realize he murdered anyone.

I’m pretty terrified by the thwarted school shooting threat at Benjamin Cardozo HS in Bayside. Can’t speak for all NYC parents, but some sliver of myself does feel like school shootings aren’t as likely here as in the suburbs and in other parts of the country.

Remember that when Zohran had shared a similar voicemail threat, Vickie Paladino’s large adult basement dwelling son claimed he lied about it. How this sack of shit still has a job is beyond me

Traffic violence committed by citizens and noncitizens alike results in the same pain, anguish, and destruction. An ignition interlock device does not care whether a drunk driver has a green card or not. It would have stopped this guy from murdering a girl.

Remember when ABC affiliate Sinclair Media made all their news anchors recite the same synchronized script and you people are nevertheless calling Kimmel’s firing “North Korea shit”??

Look at this poll I just answered lmao

Clearly, taking away this recidivist reckless/drunk driver’s license did fuck all. We can’t slap wrists if we want sidewalk and road safety. This dude should never have had access to a vehicle. We need to seize their cars, boot them, and install ignition interlocks.

There are a lot of crashes resulting in injuries and death along Ocean Avenue in BK. This box truck driver treated this elderly woman like an obstacle- as if she was a useless object preventing him from turning a whole three seconds faster. Another psychopath NYC driver.

Typical day in NYC: a reckless driver runs a red light (allegedly) and causes thousands of dollars of damage to public property, wastes first responders’ time, and sucks up health care resources. At least they didn’t kill anyone.

The new Marist poll included Asians in the sample but not in any of the responses, just in some “non white” category. The mayoral race has activated South Asian voters in particular like no other election… so why leave them out? maristpoll.marist.edu/latest-polls/

What are we, like those ASIANS??? You think you’re clever here punching down on north Korea when every single thing you accuse them of happens HERE. Clown shit

If I told you I looked this piece of shit driver’s license plate record up and saw that he has speeding tickets, would you believe me?

Another piece of shit driver murdered someone yesterday. How much do you want to bet he has a history of reckless driving, speeding, etc? Men driving Honda minivans are often rage-filled and aggressive—they feel emasculated and like a loser so they compensate through violence.

From this morning’s commute on 2nd Ave. This is like when scaffolding comes down after decades, and you don’t recognize the building anymore. Are they gonna repaint this stretch? Time will tell!

“Punch” was really intense and really good. It was about restorative justice and finding healing and moving on. Highly recommend. Victoria Clark was great, whole cast was.

We have to do something about these reckless e-bikes

Least violent NJ driver

The NY Post reporting on the child murdered by a driver in Queens states that the driver had made lewd, “sexually-charged” comments toward her as she walked with her family. Of course, they have to add that she was wearing a LOW-CUT CROP top. Guys, it was LOW-CUT. Oh, and she had on SHORTS!!

Vickie Paladino’s reelection campaign is unabashed fearmongering. She thinks so little of her constituents.

Terrible.

Leg day 🦵 and morning political podcast 🎧

Least violent NJ driver

I stopped at Key Food to grab a few mid-week replenishment grocery items and the total was $47 lol. Used to cost $25. People cannot live like this.

lol, they’re all laundering Joe Borelli over on the other site right now You absolutely don’t need to hand it to that MAGA slob sack of shit

Nannies and home care workers are practically invisible when it comes to politicians advocating for better wages and working conditions. They are easily exploited *because* they’re women and immigrants.

So I think if a spider bites you, it’s a spider bite, and if a mosquito bites you it’s a mosquito bite.

It’s a city law that if construction projects bike lanes, the agency conducting the work must create a safe passage for cyclists. This is not happening on 1st Ave at 58th St. I had to swerve two lanes over and almost get hit. Thanks
