Wow. 70% of the board members of transit boards in the state of Washington ride transit in the area they oversee only monthly or less frequently. 12% haven't ridden the transit they oversee at all. 32% only ride once a year or less.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

Abolish ICE in its entirety and deny everyone working for them any future government employment.

All of society subsidizing motorists while in most parts of the country, people yell that any form of public transit must pay for itself. Car culture, the most entitled form of transportation.

Mothers invented traffic calming.

Why drive to the Lilac Festival when you can bike or scoot instead? The easy bike approaches to Highland Park #ROC #RochesterNY

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

Exclusive: Israel built a secret military post in Iraq to support its campaign against Iran and launched strikes on Iraqi troops who almost found it early in the war.

New review: "We have a 7yo boy who cannot do most of the things his sisters can do. This is one thing we can greatly enjoy as a family! He’s so proud to ride right alongside his sisters. This trike means everything to our family!" #bunchfam #inclusion #cargobike #allabilities

A new analysis finds that "the highway lobby employs hundreds of lobbyists, spends over $100 million every year, uses a full suite of advocacy tactics, and brings along public officials to keep us all in a car-dependent transportation system." UCS's @kevshen.bsky.social breaks it down in his blog:

The other guy realized he'd said the quiet part out loud and tried to clean it up. But the idea that the 14th Amendment wasn't legitimately ratified is something that's been bouncing around in far-right and neo-Confederate circles for a long time. Not a random gaffe, he's surely encountered that.

Core baseball memory

I feel like this wording understates the fact that republicans are rigging, and thereby destroying, our democracy.

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can’t afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

do any religious texts mention golden idols anywhere

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

Reconstruction 2 or bust, man, this is fucked after Tennessee just effectively gerrymandered black people out of the state

Scoop for @sciam.bsky.social: Last year's sweeping NIH grant cuts included funding to study hantavirus transmission, the virus that's likely killed three people on a cruise ship. The cuts shuttered a network of facilities meant to study dangerous pathogens. www.scientificamerican.com/article/trum...

FLASH: Virginia Supreme Court, 4-3, overturns redistricting referendum that could have netted Democrats 5 additional House seats. Doc: www.vacourts.gov/static/opini...

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Again, this total, multi-dimensional failure of both strategy & tactics is simply not getting remotely the same tone or intensity of coverage that JOE BIDEN FAILED EPICALLY IN AFGHANISTAN AND IS WALKING AMERICA AWAY FROM THE WORLD got in 2021.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

Would be great to have real leadership in ny.

Who’s got two thumbs and says: “Hochul is under court order right now because she was required to regulate by 2024… Amending [the climate law’s deadline] to 2028 kills the court order and restarts the cycle of empty promises of future action that never comes.” 🙋‍♂️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

NEW, for @nysfocus.com: Last month, we obtained hours of body-cam from Oswego County. It showed sheriff's deputies pulling over drivers — and if the drivers didn't speak English, the deputies called Border Patrol. Some drivers were held for 30+ min while BP responded. nysfocus.com/2026/05/07/o...

Drizzle won’t stop the School 23 Bike Bus! 💪🏽

What a pleasure national bike to school day was! This video shows only half the group or so. You can see the police escort up front. If these kids were in a line of cars they would never have had so much fun! Biking is so social! They were laughing, joking, pretending. All the good stuff 🥰

A state that redraws its legislative maps before every election to maximize advantage for the incumbent party is not a democracy or a republic and in any case obviously violates the guarantee clause, among many others. No country does this. No country ever thought of doing this. It is a total farce.

Let's replace 490

Just gonna guess the main cause of those road injuries is drivers and their cars.

More than a million people die from road injuries every year— Around 1.3 million people die from road injuries across the world every year. That includes the deaths of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. That’s around 2.4% of deaths from all causes.

“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

The best echo spot anywhere is the old water towers. Great for kids.

As Robert Caro said, power doesn't corrupt; it reveals.

He needs to be heckled more often.

Jesus. The fact that they tipped off Fox News seems like a red flag that this is bullshit.

In-depth reporting on the coming wave of data center projects in NY.

I personally love to read shit like "U.S. Pauses 'Project Freedom'" in headlines. Not all good jokes need to be complicated.
