NYPD says more than 10,000 people at NYC Union Sq/Washington Sq @50501movement.bsky.social protest techcrunch.com/2025/02/17/t...

I estimate around 5k-10k folks were at the NYC Union Sq @50501movement.bsky.social protest today. Low confidence on exact # but that's the order of magnitude

If you want to understand what's going on in the US, read Paul krugman's and Timothy Snyder's blogs

“The thing about congestion pricing is it works. It actually reduces traffic.” Great to speak with @cbsnews.com on how congestion pricing is good and bike lanes are nice. Who could argue with that? www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:

CNN with an absolutely gigantic story: "Elon Musk’s top lieutenants at the Treasury Department asked its acting secretary, a career civil servant, to immediately shut off all USAID payments using the department’s own ultra-sensitive payment processing system." edition.cnn.com/2025/02/06/p...

Good afternoon friendos

Facebook chooses its moderation policy. This policy may be more or less stringent, which raises interesting questions about free speech. Facebook then CHANGES its moderation policies as a direct result of a changing political regime. This is sort of obviously a more significant free speech issue?

Jane Jacobs' seminal urban planning text, "I would love to write an ethnography of the nice city streets but some Motherfuckers keep bulldozing the nice city streets to build single use housing projects so I have to write a seminal urban planning text instead"

Today — because you called and rallied and never stopped pushing — Governor Hochul is advancing congestion pricing. We are one step closer to cleaner air, safer streets, faster buses, accessible subways & a more resilient future. Today wouldn't have been possible without you.

Make no mistake: this is happening because a broad, diverse, and determined coalition of New Yorkers turned up, spoke out, and fought for congestion pricing.
