yay I have found @mplsfietser.bike again thanks to a fb memory that popped up. Author of the greatest tweet in history (it applies to crosswalks too, btw) but whom I didn't know how to find on other socials after I deleted my twitter.

I said this years ago--an indication that the U.S. has a healthy society is the fact that one virtually never sees the political use of portraits of *living* political leaders. That's something you see in unstable countries or autocracies. www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/p...

Did some ON-site work today

Today's sign

Don't want no Tiananmen Don

Please help me choose or design an anti-trump cover image for my LinkedIn profile. I hope it will imply, "I know this is a career & networking site and both in spite of and because of that, I choose to show here clearly that I oppose virtually all trump policies." TIA very much

The gender-based social engineering b.s. I hear from the likes of J.D. Vance, Andrew Tate, & Project 2025 is the *exact* same moronic shit I dreamed up when I was a damaged, raging 16 year old (e.g., "postmenopausal women serve this or that purpose"), and by 17 I'd realized was simplistic nonsense.

Eisenhower should have built rail instead of roads. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/o...

But, as always, I blame the U.S. even more than Israel itself.

With all the golf he skips work to play, Trump must really like 18 holes. But I hear he likes under 18 holes even more.

really @nytimes.com @wsj.com why is a trade deal higher on your website than intentional starvation of innocent people

There’s a huge crowd at Canal Street right now demanding safety from Mayor Adams — the second vigil today, thanks to mayoral inaction.

Do I know anyone who works for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? Feel free to message if you prefer.

Patriotism. I've said something like this before: aside from what's felt by people founding a country or defending it from attack, the only patriotism that's ever made sense to me and not made me a little uneasy is gratitude for what you've got. Enjoy the day.

If you have something to say in defense of this (probably something about law or something, I suppose) I WANT TO TALK TO YOU. Not to harangue you. But to hear you and to tell you a couple things you're surely not considering. www.threads.com/@vanlathan/p...

www.facebook.com/share/1AuFeX... Tonight: anyone interested in musical theater and/or a story in the milieu of an independent NYC rock singer-songwriter in the 80s and early 90s should check this out in person or on the live stream.

The U.S. has two presidents and one of them is Netanyahu.

www.instagram.com/reel/DKz5LHJ... I hope to see more Americans willing to be arrested for nonviolent direct action--especially actions that are individual and unplanned.

@nypd.bsky.social has long been an anti-integrity agency, and Chell has long been a good example of how they get bullyingly defensive if you talk about it.

GROUPS of protesters always disappoint me. STICK OUT!

EMERGENCY NYC PROTEST TODAY: NO ICE! NO NATIONAL GUARD! TRUMP MUST GO NOW! 4PM Union Square. Spread the word.

hey @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social in the text at the bottom screen, you guys just swap-misidentified @marklevinenyc.bsky.social and @justinbrannan.bsky.social ! (I mean, they both said the same damn thing, lol but, you and/or they might want you to address!)

🚨Engage in CONSPICUOUS, NONVIOLENT public protest TODAY (Sunday) IN YOUR TOWN against federal use of the National Guard in LA. Go be seen in public yourself, whether you've heard of a planned event or not.🚨

Time for more people to be willing to get arrested. This troll is teasing a presidential willingness to suspend a protection that predates the Renaissance. Don't trust PBS? Watch the video. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

TODAY: Hey lawyers. Get off your duffs and find your local event. NYC's is in Foley Square at 1pm. Say you have an emergency to deal with. Because you DO: lawdayofaction.org

TOMORROW. Critically important. Please spread the word to everyone you know in the legal industry: lawdayofaction.org

News of the huge number of students being deported apparently for things like their social media posts makes me think we should pass a constitutional amendment protecting freedom of speech.

Came home and Sheila had the holiday carols playing. Happy #APRIL5TH! See you in the streets today! (No I do not endorse all parts of every image in this video, so don't get silly.) youtu.be/wyjNRmSPVMM?...

Hey American lawyers: better look to the Pakistani lawyers of 2007 before it's too late: www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna22133...

@nytimes.com why on god's green earth do you still use X and still embed videos and content from it? Stop working for free for a nazi. Please and thank you.

The dying off of the people who fought Nazis and suffered at their hands is a big reason we are insufficiently afraid of autocrats and aspiring autocrats now. You can read this without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/w...

Please see if you can help our cousins. Thank you! gofund.me/fc4d6645

I have MANY conservative loved ones & friends I sincerely say to you all: we're at the moment where 30s Germans chose whether to go Nazi. Please at least compromise w/ the most basic tenets of the 18th Century Enlightenment.

Thank god people are jeering and heckling. First sign of life in decades.

Hey lefties: be painfully honest and tell me a time you were excited to support some lefty person or movement and they were so extreme that you ended up changing your mind. Please.

Look I don't have a lot of faith in this plan but I'm going to take part, especially the event on 2/28. Might as well ask you all to do so too.

Will try to be back in town in time for this. Show up! Spread the word!

The Manhattan "chapter" of this event was great. Here's the sign I brought; a lot of people seemed to like it.

***TODAY, 2PM*** Rally to call on Hochul to remove Adams. I tried to like Adams but he surrounded himself with criminals from day one. He should be removed.
