The MTA set a new post-pandemic subway ridership record with a seven-day high of 26.8 million riders between Monday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept. 14, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul. share.google/ChrQ7siXDNo0...

Schumer and Jeffries keep saying they need to focus on kitchen table issues like health care subsidies but "regime cancels comedian for telling joke" is right fucking there. If they can't make hay out of this they're even more useless than they've been through all of this so far.

Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry. Here's a test for all of them. Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march? Or will they both sides it? Lets see.

ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this: “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @voteshekar.bsky.social and @votejgr.bsky.social are champions of parks and open space in Queens! So great to partner with them today to bring @ny4p.bsky.social Daffodil Project & Pollinator Day to @34_ave Open Street for the first time! @jimrockaway.bsky.social

This is hanging up at the Key Food on Montague St. They're objecting to daylighting and some bike corrals. Feel free to tell the store manager you object to this level of clownery from a grocery store only the food drives to.

A mere day after an elderly driver kills 3 in Astoria, another almost hits me by driving into head on traffic on 31st Ave

For those saying, "We're approaching martial law," no. We are not APPROACHING martial law. Martial law is when laws are enforced by the military. National Guard is a military, and they are now law enforcement in D.C. D.C. is officially under martial law. Full stop. It is a military police state.

New research: Darkly-painted cars cause heat islands: "Dark-colored vehicles made the air around them 3.8°C hotter compared to the nearby asphalt road." (Darker cars are also more likely to be in crashes. www.researchgate.net/publication/...)

Update: Work on 31st St. bike lane has been temporarily halted by the courts. This is why there is NO POINT in DOT trying to listen to or work with Car Karens.

High-speed rail isn't a boondoggle. *Highways* are a boondoggle. North Americans pay thru the nose for the world's most expensive transport system. Highways are publicly funded. But people still buy their own vehicles—car ownership is $12,000/yr on average—for the privilege of driving on them...

This law would mean that if my wife and I choose to leave the apartment we've shared since 2018, the minimum we can pay in rent is double what we pay now - and we're a university employee and a publicist... Running on killing the middle class of a city in an affordability crisis is a weird angle.

Also, this is not a distraction. This is what is happening in real life.

Guess which one of these vehicles has a motor that prevents it from going too fast for the safety of others?

🚨NEW: This is what all networks should do! MSNBC fact checks Trump live during his press conference. The REAL crime stats are put on screen as he reads out his made up figures.

NEW: Tomorrow’s front page of Scottish newspaper, The National.

An unprecedented number of registered Democrats chose a registered Democrat who is not Andrew Cuomo, but of course he thinks he is the arbiter of who is a Real Democrat.

Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace as governor 4 years ago amidst 13 credible claims of sexual harassment as well as multiple other scandals. He badly lost the primary. He's still getting favorable treatment from local press. Why? His name? They like him and want him to win? Enough.

The last thing we want is Cuomo "touching more people" — to echo @2avesag.as' frustration, no other candidate would get this media attention. He is a multiple-time loser, yet he still dares to claim legitimacy because of his last name: Trump & Cuomo, two peas; same pod.

The details herein are disgusting and hard to read. This subhuman piece of shit and her large adult son defamed, traumatized, and incited harassment against a woman whose partner was murdered before her eyes. Is this finally the thing that gets Paladino officially censured? God help us.

He is who the Democrats picked to be their nominee. By a decisive margin. I don’t think it’s for a losing candidate to decide who is a Democrat or not.

I don’t have a fancy degree. I’m just the person who uncovered & exposed indoor utility shut off heat deaths yrs. ago which led to the (weak) disconnect rules we have in place in AZ. I’ve read thousands of death reports & have been sounding alarm bells on this for yrs. now. But what do I know…

I love that we spent an entire election cycle debating whether or not Zohran Mamdani has the experience to be mayor when the two most experienced people running against him are, respectively, a corrupt sex pest and a de facto mafia boss.

1) Assaults are a tiny fraction of the crime on the subways 2) Crime on the subways is a tiny fraction of the ridership. The MTA system moves 2x daily as many people as airport in America combined. 3) Accept the critique for a second. Pres Trump’s new pal, Eric Adams, is in charge of subway police

This is such a thorough IBX explainer. Great job! An exciting transportation project that is not Manhattan centric. Inter borough connectivity will be amazing. NYC is getting a new subway line (or is it?) this guy went to every stop! E... youtu.be/5ru6JJOr2WE?si… via @YouTube

What a biker actually hitting a pedestrian looks like

It's way past time for midtown to get the same bus speed improvements that 14th Street got way back in 2019. But Mayor Adams is delaying a crucial project that would speed up some of the slowest buses in New York City.

You know that post btw a car’s windshield and side window? It’s called an A-pillar – and it’s becoming a problem. A-pillars are expanding, enlarging driver blind zones and concealing pedestrians at crosswalks. Blame car bloat, as well as ill-conceived federal rules. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

NEW from me: The New York City Council Minority Delegation on Wednesday (unsurprisingly) endorsed Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa in the general election – which it is not allowed to do. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

"That ICE has gone so quickly to masked operations in unmarked vehicles with no clear law enforcement identification makes clear how unhealthy and fundamentally undemocratic its core culture now is. It’s a resounding indictment of the current leadership at ICE and a warning sign of what’s to come."

Masked, unidentifiable ICE agents are disappearing people off the streets of American cities. It's wrong. It's deeply disturbing. It's what authoritarian dictatorships do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dhk...

The Mayor will be responsible if anyone is hurt, or forbid killed if he rips out that lane in contravention of @nyc-dot.bsky.social's recommendations. And we essentially already know this will happen as the current PBL design has reduced injuries by a whopping 47%.

It would be an absolute sin if anyone is seriously hurt or killed as a result and I sincerely hope the @NYCMayor will reverse his decision and instead implement @nyc-dot.bsky.social's alternative design recommendations. This still does not need to happen & there is time to stop it.

There is no time like the present to show the benefits of #congestionpricing. Best way is more frequency -a good way is to construct bus shelters w/shade & benches. This busy bus stop on Broadway in Qns is unbearably hot w/no shade & vents even hotter air from the subway below.

all of these ICE dudes in full tactical kits so they can go to Home Depot and send some street vendors to El Salvador are the biggest fucking losers on the planet

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

Today on 34 Ave we had our misting & cooling station, kids water area, Lego, ping pong, jump rope & our ESL classes & much more. We are out Monday thru Friday from 4pm to 8pm. Sponsored by the 34 Ave Open Streets Coalition. #OpenStreets #34AveOpenStreets #coolingstation @34ave.bsky.social

It steals from the hungry, cutting nutrition assistance for 40 million people, including 1 in 5 children nationwide. 300,000 New Yorkers could lose all or some of their SNAP benefits.

And it steals from our future, ending investments in renewable energy that lower utility costs and protect the planet.

The 1st phase of the 31st Ave Bike Blvd in Astoria is complete and looks great. Sharing some photos as NYC DOT was nearly done. Dramatically more pedestrian space, much safer pedestrian crossings, and high-comfort cycling connecting to the waterfront and Manhattan. More: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm...

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is big and beautiful for billionaires, and a big dumpster fire for everything else, including most of the people who voted for Trump. If you can’t see the con, you’re the mark.

"It’s a war on bikes, it’s a war on immigrants, and it undermines traffic safety," the former NYC DOT official told Streetsblog on Wednesday. "I think it’s Adams basically trying to mount a populist assault on cycling."

I’m so sorry.

Our Afternoons on the Avenue starts July 3rd! We also have a jam-packed weekend activities. We have ESL, dance & exercise classes &more! Free & open to all. Sponsored by 34 Ave Open Streets Coalition. #OpenStreets #34AveOpenStreets #citiesforpeople #streetsforpeople #bikeNYC

We had a soft opening of our Afternoons on the Avenue programming today. We will then be out Monday thru Fridays except holidays starting tomorrow from 4pm to 8pm. Each day we will have fun activities for all ages. Programming is free & open to all. Sponsored by the 34 Ave Open Streets Coalition.

24/7, 365. Bike lanes deliver freedom.

NYC Democratic electeds who oppose Mamdani at this point are making a very risky bet. They are just asking to be primaried if he wins, as he is most likely will. They should go ask the IDC how much Democratic primary voters like Democrats who ally with conservatives to block other Dems.

I am starting to feel less nervous! Did people really turn out?? Can we really do this??
