This is insane. "New vehicles now sell for an average of nearly $50,000, up 30% in six years, and average monthly payments — based on 10% down and a 6-year note — recently hit $775." I support the War on Cars. But I also recognize that we've created a society where most people can't do without one.

Me: With the ever increasing cost of car ownership, and rising gas prices, I'm grateful to live in a place with good public transit and expanding bike lanes, with the bike share newly expanding into my neighborhood! My neighbors: Every square inch of public space should be dedicated to car storage

Uber sent out this garbage mailer in support of the governor’s proposal for subsidizing dangerous driving. Pedestrians and cyclists safety be damned, insurance is cutting into Uber’s bottom line

Stop 👏🏻 meddling 👏🏻 with 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 elevators

I remember when the very serious article writers were telling me that Eric Adams was the wise adult future of the Democratic Party and now he's Albanian

Third way launched this whole thing with a WSJ oped. This entire thing is a pr campaign to smear the left and idiot democrats and media are playing along.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

Zionists denounce Mamdani for attending a seder www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/n...

Hey, NYC! Here's something you go to TODAY if you're horrified by Trump's threat of genocide! Thank you, @handsoffnycfams.bsky.social @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social @comradeswkids.bsky.social !

Real oppression is getting a fine for parking your car illegally

My favourite thing when cycling is how mad drivers get about you taking the lane even if you literally physically do not possess an alternative. They're so mad about it

Alcohol Unfairly Blamed For Local Man’s Impaired Judgment https://theonion.com/alcohol-unfairly-blamed-for-local-man-s-impaired-judgme-1819576354/

We’re in Union Square, where hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers and allies have gathered for JFREJ’s annual Seder In The Streets. Watch the livestream here: www.facebook.com/share/v/18be...

This is very awkward news to report for two publications who have spent the past three months trying to cast New York City as having been thrust into chaos by an ontologically evil and inexperienced socialist mayor

I don't think the "moderate" conservatives who are more responsible for leading us to this moment in history than any leftist on earth have any opinions worth listening to

This is legitimately awful. It's a total disaster if the Democratic Party taken as a whole gives up on the idea that we all pay our share to pay for critical services a functional, modern government should be providing if we want to remain a prosperous nation.

#Lebanon: Around 2pm Sunday, Israeli forces struck a densely populated area in Beirut, meters from Rafik Hariri Public Hospital, where MSF supports an ER doctor. A mass-casualty influx followed. In the first hour: 4 killed, ~40 injured. More feared as rubble is cleared.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

The whole "what to do about Hasan" thing going with podcast/consultant democrats is hilarious. What out of the zero things you could possibly do "about" him are you going to do, hmmm tough question

Just a meme shared on Lebanese social media And yes this is a real story. Israel is targeting Lebanese Shias and explicitly warning Christians and Druze not to shelter them

a cool thing the ruling class does is run articles like this to convince you the wealthy are undeserving of a free resource, and therefore it shouldn't be universal. then they switch to convincing you that the poor are cheating, and also don't deserve it

Socialist Majority is proud to sponsor the NYC-DSA for AOC petition. @socialists.nyc must grow and strengthen the socialists bloc in Congress by deepening our partnership with AOC and supporting her re-election.

I don’t own a car. I should be able to take my chosen form of transportation anywhere I damn please just as a car owner is able to take theirs. In a sane place, the bikes would automatically take precedence over cars due to their smaller size (and thus fewer resources needed to accommodate)

I have about 100 photos in my phone of cars completely blocking crosswalks because I see it on a daily basis. I haven't seen a single campaign asking drivers not to do this, nor a national campaign to get motorists to stop doing it.

Miraculous how, for the New York Times, when the young left criticizes Israel, it is sign of deeply embedded bigotry in their ranks and highly problematic, but when young people on the right brag about being "J-pilled" it is just valid criticism of the Israeli government's influence in US politics

I've noticed people putting paper over their plates when they double park now to avoid automated tickets from buses. You should get a minimum $1000 fine for doing this.

The centrist think tank Third Way is trying to cancel Hasan Piker as part of its broader campaign to marginalize the left. The good news is no one has to listen to this stuff. We should take note of the Dems who do. More at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/third-way-...

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

I actually really like driving when I'm visiting rural areas. I'm often in western Wisconsin and I love driving down those twisting hilly roads, I had a great time driving in Marin County last time I was in California. But for my day to day city living? No thanks! Terrible!

The difference between these two is racism

NYT people do not consider what they do a profession they consider it a class.

Deeply unserious publication.

This is no the fault of the protestors, who immediately faced sustained and coordinated attacks from far more powerful forces

"We’re here today b/c the City Council is voting on 2 bills that threaten our First Amendment right to speak out, regardless of our political point of view." "This is no time for our political leaders to be pressing for legislation that could endanger our right to protest." - @dlnyclu.bsky.social

Intro 175-B, up for a vote in the NYC Council today, is an attack on labor organizing at educational institutions. My union at Columbia University would've struggled to win our strong contract under this law. NYC is a union town. Act like it.

Important reporting from @nyc.streetsblog.org that shows exactly why civil liberties groups don't trust leaving buffer zone enforcement to NYPD discretion: a retired NYPD chief admitting using discretion around ticketing to let off allies & friends. Selective suppression of speech is inevitable.

Personally, I think it's important that children be taught about all the early Saddle Creek bands. Not just Cursive, but Bright Eyes, The Faint, Rilo Kiley, and even The Good Life. Hear hear!

All these headlines should read "Centrist Democrats Who Gave Us Trump Are Now Working To Give Us President Fuentes"

JFREJ’s Bronx neighborhood group has been organizing know-your-rights canvasses in Kingsbridge & Riverdale to make sure New Yorkers know what to do and what our rights are if we encounter ICE. Next up: business canvasses in Brooklyn ➡️ www.jfrej.org/events/2026/...

The mayor found a way to eat Taco Bell in his 30s without the immediate guilt that normally follows

Picking up my kid from school today and some guy had his Jeep fully parked across the crosswalk right in front of the schools with kids walking into the street around it. Crossing guard ignored it (Can’t blame her). also saw a different jeep nearly kill two teens in a crosswalk this morning.

I mean, add it to the pile, but this is about as clear a war crime as they come

Ton of politicians out there right now labeling themselves as progressives while getting things backwards and directing anger to the wrong places. Not great!

Suozzi last month: “I failed...I hear the anger from my constituents...I have long been critical of ICE’s unlawful behavior and I must do a better job demonstrating that.” @tomsuozzi.bsky.social today: Federal penalties for doxxing/threatening ICE is what the people want! Still not listening.

Truly nuts we let the rich run our government for their own benefit while they cut services for the neediest New Yorkers

Different rates for single family homes vs apartments in NYC is nonsense. Time to stop subsidizing single family homes

In a world where many democrats have embraced pie-in-the-sky middle class tax cuts, leave it to a democratic socialist like Mamdani to seriously engage with budgeting tradeoffs and embrace an efficient broad based property tax increase
