Chomsky was right when he said vigilante violence does not help progressive causes as the fascists have the most guns. I condemn this attack on Charlie Kirk. And I condemn people trying to resolve our political problems with violence. It only leads to more violence. We must build each other up.

Streetsblog has had to regularly screen and block antisemitic commenters since this bike lane debate started so, no, I don't think this is an OK way to talk about it.

The shooting that killed a police office (plus three other people) is being presented as a major challenge for the guy who is not Mayor. It underlines why the NYPD operates as a law unto itself: political candidates cannot criticize it without media punishment.

Mayor Adams's legal team succeeded in convincing a judge that three blocks of the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue need to go, and the demo starts tonight. Here are four of the most ridiculous reasons his legal team gave for ripping out lifesaving infrastructure.

The removal of the bike lane by mayoral fiat appears to violate city law, which requires notification of "affected council members, senators, members of Assembly, and community boards" when the city "will ... add or remove a bicycle lane of any length."

Zohran Mamdani is now ahead of Cuomo in one poll, and just barely within the margin of error at that. Huge own-goal by NYC’s business establishment to throw so much money at Cuomo’s campaign – I think they’d have had a better chance with Adrienne Adams or Brad Lander

I forget who I first saw name the problem, but New York City is a place where Republican constituencies—bosses, landlords, developers, financiers—pursue their right-wing self-interest within the Democratic Party, and often even think of themselves as "liberals," and that's who Cuomo services
