👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @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

What a biker actually hitting a pedestrian looks like

Laughing out loud. Of all of NY's transport operators to adopt through running, NYC Ferry would not have been the first one I'd have expected. www.ferry.nyc/blog/changes... Combining the Soundview and Rockaway routes—both of which are tourist heavy and struggle to operate on time—will be fun!

I would say CM Paladino should be speedily removed over this, but @council.nyc.gov did literally nothing after the first three instances of her doing shit, including implicitly endorsing killing DSA members, so outrageously offensive any other sane city council would kick her out in a nanosecond.

Contact Speaker Adrienne Adams and tell her to remove Vickie Paladino from the New York City Council: 212-482-6731

Adrienne Adams could censure Vickie Paladino at any time and has certainly had multiple reasons to do so. And yet...

Where is anyone getting this idea that he can't and he won't? We have masked secret police disappearing people right now. There's no can't or won't at this point. There's only what we as a society are willing to stand up and stop.

Nassau County failing to surprise once again

❤️ an incoming Mayor emphasizing the city’s power to improve & redesign streets. No new legislation, Council approval etc needed!

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

There is little outrage when drivers strike and kill people who are trying to cross the street. Our streets are designed to ferry as many vehicles as possible as fast as possible with no regard for pedestrians. How sad for these victims’ families. The devastation.. the loss.

Secret paramilitary police do not accumulate $170B in funding, extrajudicial power, and patrons proudly committed to brutality in order to not use that funding, power, protection, and brutality The next decade will be bloody, and when I’m right I won’t be happy

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history
