I'm srsly surprised they don't have powered doors.

It’s actually incredible how little juice the Republican running against Hochul has. just boomer crimeslop-posting

Zohran Mamdani has promised to have 1 percent of the city budget go to the Parks Department — but so did Eric Adams, who never came close to delivering.

UAW Local 2325 (the union representing New York City’s public defenders) is calling on NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to drop Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This is significant. www.alaa.org/media-releas...

Oh, he big mad.

One sign of a great leader is when they continue a defeated predecessor’s policy because it was a good policy. Bad leaders blow up everything just because it isn’t theirs. New York Mayor-Elect Mamdani will retain a key housing leader from Mayor Adams’s “City of Yes” work.

Breaking News: The New York City Council voted to allow thousands of new street vending permits in a push to help vendors sell legally.

What's Menin's plan for Paladino?

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

In total, the suits brought by Cuomo’s accusers have racked up more than $21 million in fees footed by the state.

Donald Trump says that questioning his military campaigns amounts to treason, a crime punishable by death. Democrats predictably disagree. Have the parties fully given up on finding middle ground?

Seen earlier today, on Queens Blvd. @nycsanitation.bsky.social

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Incredible discourse

Needless to say, this is completely outside the law. You can‘t just unilaterally raid foreign ships in international (or foreign territorial) waters.

In 2019, DeBlasio released the "Better Bus" plan, with a goal of increasing bus speeds by 25%. The avg speed back then was 8.1mph. 6 going on 7 years later, the avg bus speed is 8.3mph. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social needs to ensure this doesn't happen in his admin.

Astoria is PISSED at the suburbanites that sued to make our streets more dangerous, holds massive rally in freezing temperatures.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social : the sweeps did nothing. I'll implement Housing First. Reporter: but if you don't brutalize the homeless, then what's the point?!

We deserve streets that protect us — not rulings that put our lives at risk. Almost 200 people have been injured on 31st Street in five years. Slashing proven safety measures in the face of this danger is unacceptable.

If I were Dot commissioner, this is how I'd execute Zohran's promise a school street outside every school

It's ridiculous for a judge to demand that the city rip out a critical street safety project. 31st Street is one of the most dangerous streets in Queens, and this unprecedented decision puts all our neighbors at risk. We must prioritize the safety of Astoria families over cars.

Having now read the decision, two things are clear 1) the Judge has made significant factual and legal errors and 2) She has chosen to do what she acknowledges is not proper for her to do - substitute her judgment on street design and safety for @nyc-dot.bsky.social's. 🧵

Since FDNY operations are the most important thing, I've got the perfect solution I'm sure we can all agree on:

They are now targeting people who did everything by the book and were literally at the ceremony where they were going to become citizens... "Immigrants lined up to become U.S. citizens in Boston on Dec. 4 were pulled from line by USCIS officials moments before the oath ceremony"

DOT has the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

Tascha didn’t just build a volunteer team of more than 100,000 people, she built a community across our city. And there’s no one better suited to tell you how she did it than her. thedigradio.com/podcast/thre...

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice. 📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

This is a disgrace and it will cost lives. Sec. Kennedy seems determined to rollback our progress fighting deadly diseases because he can’t look beyond his own ideological agenda. He’s a threat to our health and must be fired immediately.

Wtf is going on here? Literally no one voted against it?

In this Ohio diner, double tap still means a bar with both Miller Lite and Coors Light. But they do know this: Pete Hegseth ordering the Navy to fire on shipwrecked survivors is better than dudes in dresses holding DEI trainings, which is all the military did under Biden.

I mean, what else was the expected result of trying to "protect property values"? That literally means "make housing more expensive".

Thanks to the @nypost.com for letting me check an item off my bucket list (“be the target of a meaty hit piece by a world-class NYC tabloid”) and for highlighting @transalt.org proposals for better walking, biking, & transit! More nice ideas here: transalt.org/road-to-affo...

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

A Brooklyn politician who defended speeding at a funeral for victims of traffic violence now supports preventative legislation.

After Hochul’s administration agreed, a federal judge finalized a deal last week that will likely suspend New York’s all-electric building law for at least a year. Just a few weeks earlier, the state argued that delaying the gas ban would cause “irreparable harm."

One thing I love about Disney World is how it is filled with signs that mean something somewhere, but are just decorations here.

First order of business for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social : charter commission on bringing back proportional representation to the council.

This guy calculates that the real 'poverty line' for Americans is a household income of $136,500. I think it is plausible. There is an interesting discussion of housing in this article, which compares the national average to the cost of housing in Caldwell, NJ. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

As a Jew it doesn’t seem that hard to understand that if people are protesting outside a synagogue because they think it’s pro-Israel, that’s antisemitic but if they’re protesting outside a synagogue because it’s hosting an event encouraging people to move to illegal settlements, that’s fair game.

Zohran Mamdani has zero people named Dave Colon who are from Long Beach on his transition committees. This is outrageous and offensive to up to one dozen people in the city

Court St merchants suing the city say they’d prefer an unprotected bike lane, which would bring back unfettered double parking and make the street more dangerous again nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/25/d...

Get in the cargo bike loser, we're banning cars!

A federal judge has dismissed the indictments against NY state Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey, ruling that Lindsey Halligan – who brought both of the indictments – was improperly appointed. Here's the order dismissing the James case without prejudice:

One way I know bikes aren't dangerous to pedestrians is when I'm biking and have the light, and someone is jaywalking, they'll keep going and not even break their stride. Meanwhile, when I'm driving, they'll back up to the sidewalk or speed up to cross the street.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

My main concern is cost (time, money, and attention) against a strong incumbent in a not-so-friendly DSA area, and for what goal? Yet another DSA Congressman? I'm just not sure it's worth it. Let him keep destroying the mainstream Dem image, while we pick up the back.
