It’s almost as if the Trump regime lies

Dictators silence our freedoms. In America, the people will be heard. Oct 18: #NoKings. RSVP: nokings.org?utm_source=5...

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

ben chou is the democratic nominee against vickie!! www.benchou4ny.com

🔥 District 19 is a diverse, vibrant community that is majority Asian & Latino and 47% Democrat. The people deserve better than to be represented by Vickie Paladino and her racist, hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. Come join Ben Chou’s canvass. Let’s get him into office!!!

Donate to firefighter Ben Chou for NYC council. He’s running against MAGA Vickie Paladino. New Yorkers deserve officials who want to fight fires, not political arsonists. If you live in Ben’s district, please vote in November. This is a winnable race. contribute.nycvotes.org/campaigns/be...

I hope you never need me, but if you are hurt in a crash with a negligent driver while on your #bikenyc or walking on our streets, I can help. Here are some suggestions on what to do if you are in a crash. Critical among them: make sure you're safe, call 911 & accept medical help if you're injured.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

@nasas Oooh, streetsfilm made a video about yesterday's #openstreet on Austin St: https://vimeo.com/1118604105?share=copy

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways. More deets in 🧵👇🏾

Fired for literally just quoting Kirk’s public words, with no additional commentary. “To quote Kirk is to dishonor him” is such a wild claim. (See also its corollary: all the pundits praising him never quote him.) The political press corps has been making its brokenness so absolutely clear.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

With 12,500 bike parking spaces, Utrecht Centraal Station is one of the best examples the Dutch have to offer of the seamless way they’ve chained the bicycle and the train into a single form of mobility that connects people to all of their daily needs: housing, employment, education, and healthcare.

Dropped by the Austin Open Street in Forest Hills to get a pulse on the years-long movement to do something about the strip. I beleive at the very least the street should go 1-way & sidewalks widened! @pwbnyc.bsky.social @pjrt.dev @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @belleoflonglake.bsky.social

Canal Street needs you TOMORROW: Tuesday, September 9, at 6:30 p.m., Community Board 3’s Transportation Committee will discuss the future of Canal Street. To demand pedestrian safety, meet us at the Confucius Plaza Community Room at 33 Bowery at Bayard Street.

The Supreme Court just legalized racial profiling for Trump’s war on American minorities. 🤯 #FascismIsHere

Save the dates for the other upcoming Daffodil Project & Pollinator Day events across NYC! This year, we'll be on @34_ave Open Street in Queens and on Saint Nicholas Ave. Open Street at A. Philip Randolph Sq. in Harlem. Reach out if you want to table or support in other ways!

Can't wait for Mayor Mamdani to create Passenger Loading Zones next to school buildings so that the tiny minority of parents who pick up their children from school with cars won't block the #bikenyc lane

From family visiting Montreal; Love their bike infrastructure. Take note @nyc-dot.bsky.social. 2d pic is simulated intersection on a playground used to teach children rules of the road. We need lots of these & a @nycschools.bsky.social road safety/ #bikenyc curriculum. Cc: @bikenewyork.bsky.social

Neighbors for A Safer Austin Street is hosting a pop-up Open Street on Austin Street in Forest Hills, Queens on Sunday, September 14th from 11am to 4pm. This one-time event will convert the block on Austin Street, from 71st Ave to 71st Rd, into a temporary plaza with seats, tables and events!

I support this provided such conversions include protected bike ways and bus lanes in both directions.

Does your local grocery store look like this? If not, it’s probably because: 1) zoning created large distances between housing & stores. 2) the streets between housing & stores are unsafe for biking. 3) there isn’t any/enough bike parking 1/2

Madison Square, NYC: What makes for a good city is when big car intersections are calmed in all directions and pedestrians, runners, #bikenyc and all those not in a car feel comfortable crossing and roaming wherever.

The always awesome Brooklyn Bike Jumble is 2 weeks away (Saturday, Sept. 13) from 10am-4pm at the Washington/JJ Byrne Park (by the Old Stone House) in Brooklyn. We'll be there along with vendors & other orgs, so definitely check it out, stop by & say hi! ✨ (REPOST: @nybikejumble via IG) #bikeNYC

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

nine former heads of the cdc: This is unacceptable, and it should alarm every American, regardless of political leanings.

BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order BANNING Chicago police from collaborating with the federal agents, because Trump is "neurotic, impulsive, and out of control." HELL YES!! 😎✨

Judge orders administration to halt deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan children A federal judge rushed an emergency hearing after learning that the Trump administration was moving to deport children to Guatemala despite an order she had issued earlier Sunday. wapo.st/47SlsjY

Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

NEW: Late Friday night, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's unlawful and cruel fast-track deportation policy. This win is a blow to the president's anti-immigrant agenda. Immigrants have the right to due process and to live without fear of being torn from their families.

Folks, there is a solid alternative to MAGA Vicki Palladino and her racist and hateful rhetoric and policy positions. Let's help Ben end the divisive rhetoric and bring some common sense and love of our neighbors back to Northeast Queens. Benchou4ny.com

One of the best signs I've ever seen Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend

... and there was a vip flight to his golf course that got cancelled yesterday

Another ZERO deaths city: Helsinki's year without a road death. How? • People-first approach to mobility • Lowered speed limits • Segregated cycle lanes - Connected • Improved public transit to lower car use • Pedestrian priority. Always. Positive News bit.ly/3VnPBAf

I just learned that Vicki Paladino has a Dem challenger - firefighter Ben Chou. I think we should all support Ben to rid NYC of the toxic racist hate VP subjects this City to. www.benchou4ny.com

These drivers are also likely uninsured or committing insurance fraud and in case of a crash will leave you seriously injured with insufficient insurance for your injuries. Instead of using limited resources tackling cyclists to issue c-summons that get dismissed.

More than 150 injuries from traffic crashes could have been avoided. Nearly a quarter-million bus riders could have had faster commutes. Instead, Eric Adams’s City Hall stymied several redesigns at the behest of powerful interests. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/28/s...

Someone I know took this video today. They said that the kid was riding a CitiBike while swerving. The cops stopped him and then jumped him. Full-on police abuse. @nyc.streetsblog.org @transalt.org @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I looked into all the other projects Mayor Adams has stalled, reversed, or watered down in favor of those with outsized influence. Ingrid Lewis-Martin allegedly accepting bribes to stop the McGuinness Blvd redesign is an outlier in a political system where legal bribery is easy to pull off.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.

"New York lawmakers are proposing provisions forcing repeat traffic offenders to install ISA systems that cap speed to just 5 MPH over the limit." NYC "tested ISA on 500 fleet vehicles, and recorded an 82% reduction in speeding on high-speed roads and a 64% overall drop."

There is an old saying in legal circles that a DA can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. This apparently now requires an "*". *Except when thrown at fascists Thank you jurors for defending our democracy!

Godforsaken country

It’s still amazing to me that we’ve basically let ourselves be tricked into buying that THIS is what “freedom” looks like. #CarDependency
