As a kid in Texas, I never would've thought I'd someday get to make a video for a gubernatorial candidate. This one was a pleasure to work on and I hope you'll check it out! My home state deserves better than Greg Abbott!

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, another mayor candidate who has cross endorsed Lander, speaks to crowd.

TABK in Albany!

Come with me and @kathyparkprice.bsky.social to Albany to advocate for the SAFE Streets Priority Bills and talk to state legislators about my injuries from getting doored last month

So 97% of @NYMagUnion members--including me!-- just signed a pledge to walk out of work if we don’t get a fair contract from @VoxMedia. If you love @NYMag, sign our solidarity pledge to support us in the event of a walkout: nymagunion.org/reader-pledge

A watershed moment for the US, and he most important urban transportation reform of my lifetime. Congrats to all the activists, planners, and policymakers who made this possible. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/n...

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good bike!

Lingering in public spaces is one of the things I love most about cities like Paris. We need more places to linger

A dream:

You’re telling me there are people who actually wanna talk about safe streets for hours and won’t get sick of me?! (Had so much fun at the TABK holiday party - y’all are the best)

Welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social, Fog!

bike ridership over the four east river bridges continues to surge, c/o @nyc-dot.bsky.social

Sorry I’m late I got distracted snuggling with my cat. (It will happen again.)

"By 2030, Paris will have removed 60,000 parking spaces and replaced them with trees."

This is a really important distinction:

It’s a really beautiful day in NYC to make sure we have more beautiful days. Call Gov. Hochul at 518-474-8390 to unpause congestion pricing ASAP. It’s now or never!

Only time I don’t hate lines in New York: at my polling place

He's so close to getting it.... “Right now, 70% of the people on Fifth Avenue are pedestrians, but they can only utilize less than half the space,” Adams said in a statement. “That makes no sense.”

This is huge!! "The NLRB Region in Los Angeles also found that Amazon engaged in a long list of egregious unfair labor practices at its Palmdale facility, including unlawfully refusing to recognize the workers’ decision to unionize with the Teamsters" teamster.org/2024/08/team...

the "office pizza party" of government thank yous gothamist.com/news/nj-tran...

I regret to inform y'all that Trader Joe's is also part of this union busting www.theguardian.com/business/art...

"City data shows 127 people were killed by drivers across the five boroughs during the first six months of 2024, about 55% more than the 82 who were fatally shot over the same period." gothamist.com/news/cars-pr...

NEW: Gov. Hochul’s last-minute derailment of congestion pricing has her now facing a stack of potential lawsuits from opponents who want to force the vehicle-tolling plan to be put back on track. www.thecity.nyc/2024/06/12/o...

In my imagination, I can actually picture urban spaces without cars...

Love this

Now do the other 364 days

Unions are good

Some professional news: our union was officially recognized today and I’m a proud member of CWA!

I think it would be easy to give in to nihilism sometimes, but I think that would be cruel to the families, like mine, who have lost people to traffic violence. I’m not giving up on a safer, greener world for all of us and neither should you.

Tell me again how Open Streets is a losing proposition??? "Businesses along those streets recorded 13.9% more transactions than others, amounting to an average $90,000 in additional spending at each merchant per day" gothamist.com/news/city-ha...

If you bike in NYC, I really hope you’ll be here tomorrow

Can’t wait to read this!

Storing a giant metal box on wheels outside for free is difficult in the most walkable, transit-rich, densely populated city in the United States and the New York Times is ON IT.

80 degrees in NYC in October, but yeah sure, tell me I can’t have a protected bike lane

It shouldn't be this scary to ride a bike in New York City while the planet is melting

Enough is enough. Join us on October 11 and demand ACTION from Mayor Adams and our city's leaders to protect bike riders. We are on track to have the second-deadliest year for bike riders in *recorded history*. It doesn't have to be this way. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/transalt/eve...

Obsessed

Left, an unsustainable suburb with gas-burning cars. Right, a sustainable suburb with electric cars.

Exactly! Wish people realized that what’s really being said here is *drivers* do not stop in to local businesses at the rate people walking, biking or using micro mobility devices do. DOT has known for years that protected bike lanes alone *increase* business along their corridors

"These aren’t outrageous ideas — they’re common practice in other big cities." Amen. www.curbed.com/2023/09/jane...

Congestion pricing, pls!!!!

Let's keep arguing about parking spaces, everybody.

“From now on, all short-term rental hosts in New York must register with the city, and only those who live in the place they’re renting—and are present when someone is staying—can qualify. And people can only have two guests."

Imagine caring more about a parking garage than safe cycling infrastructure as the world burns nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/08/14/a...

We need a **fully connected and protected** bike network. Mayor Adams must put safety first on Ashland by completing the entire project. Unprotected blocks endanger everybody who uses our streets. Take action: act.transalt.org/a/connect-pr...

whenever a driver is annoyed at me on my bike i think about how they are 1 person running around wearing a big dumb rectangle cc @safestreetrebel.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social @brooklynspoke.bsky.social

You absolutely LOVE to see it (it being fresh green bike lane paint on Ashland Pl!)

It’s extremely stupid that in the year 2023 our NYC subways *still* don’t have reliable reception and wifi

Never forget that in the battle of us vs. wildfires, climate change deniers are on the side of wildfires
