I try to convince myself that I’m somehow beyond this but it remains the best way

Call Assembly Speaker Heastie now and tell him to put Stop Super Speeders in the state budget: 518-455-3791

Nice try, that's just the 21 St-Queensbridge station

How does this fit in the canon that he was turned into a pig while Porkin’ Across America?

Cops on the side of the deed thieves. The pro-con artist NYPD. amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/04...

Absurd that this is how the NYPD is treating a council member protecting a tenant in an active deed theft dispute. We need answers from the commissioner, and we need @chiosse.bsky.social released immediately.

There were people in this community, and even on this Community Board, who mobilized the positive turnout for this meeting. It’s a success in transportation advocacy. It can be replicated in most NYC districts.

It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders. But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

So the Clean Power Plan was never implemented. Now, want to hear something funny? The targets in the Clean Power Plan -- for growth in clean energy, for retirements of dirty energy -- were exceeded. Before the deadline. *Without the reg being passed.*

Confidential memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a rushed and secretive new way of doing business. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

If it happens “all the time,” then fare enforcement should stop on MTA Buses until they have a fare collection and validation method that doesn’t punish people who have done nothing wrong. Cannot believe this is still happening.

Do we think he's genuinely mad about this and has no idea how stupid this sounds to a normal person? Or is this somehow a grift?

Reading between the lines of recent @nyc-dot.bsky.social community board presentations reveals a more confident agency under Mayor Mamdani than under Adams, with DOT actively pushing back against overblown and downright false narratives that bike lanes worsen traffic or block first responders.

lmao neither Gillibrand nor Schumer are on here relative to baseline partisanship NY might have the worst democratic senators in the country

Struggling to think of a reason the threshold on home value shouldn't be $0 but it's a nice start!

another tax we should do is a $1,000 dollar tax on every passenger helicopter ride. seriously though why don’t we do this

If you're in the NYC area: Zohran and his new DOT are going to bat for us, we need to be there to support the new plan for doubling the length of 31st St.

Manhattan's West Village is the poster child for how historically preserving the buildings in high-demand neighborhoods eventually displaces all but the richest people. Case in point: a mansion created from two adjacent Bank Street townhomes will sell for more than SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS.

a happy 20th neil banging out the tunes day to all

designers please learn to code. i promise it is not hard unless you try learning it from one of those weird youtube people who make it exponentially more difficult than it needs to be for absolutely no reason. start with basic html and css and you can make your own cool shit in a matter of hours.

My nitpick on this design is that the outer ring could have a couple blocks made into plazas so that through traffic is impossible, rather than duplicating a through route of the inner ring.

Huge to see this move forward.

As someone who’s already using the individual bins, does this mean I’m already “containerized”? Or is “containerization” just the on-street bug dumpster bins?

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

I know "vote harder" is an infuriating piece of advice when it comes from our elected officials and those with power, but when it comes from the ground up it is true: We have to mobilize as many people to vote as possible and send a strong message that fascism and Republicanism are not wanted here.

The nice irony here, of course, is that this is in no small measure the consequence of trying to bake your majority into the electoral system. Fidesz have fallen into their own elephant trap.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

🚨ERIC ADAMS IS ALBANIAN🚨 albaniandailynews.com/news/former-...

Mamdani pls ban the supermarket circular 🙏 STG 98% of these wind up floating around the neighborhood for weeks — just total waste and pollution

This project is batshit insane and nobody’s paying attention. $11bn is enough to make good progress on regional rail, moving riders from slow, uncomfortable, high-operating-cost buses to trains. Instead it’s happening in isolation from Gateway/Penn planning, resulting in no major new transit service

We love a tough on crime mayor

This reminded me that last week Michael Che made an assassination joke and the whole audience cheered for an extended time which was an interesting barometer of where public sentiment is at.

"All people should go back to the land where their ancestors lived" is in fact a deeply reactionary political sentiment, no matter how much you may try to dress it up as progressive and liberatory.

I'm someone who was there at the midnight releases of the Harry Potter books and movies. Watching this show puts money in the pockets of J.K. Rowling. And if you do that, you're helping fund a deadly worldwide campaign of hate against trans people. Consult your conscience.

The premise of this article – that Empire Bins are a costly program that needs to be funded – raises a much more interesting journalistic question: why is the Department of Sanitation not realizing savings from more efficient collection from these bins…? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/02/t...

Think about POW/MIA. You've seen these flags flying around. It's a conspiracy theory that tens of thousands of US soldiers who died in Vietnam weren't actually killed, but held prisoner for decades afterwards. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...

so much of what is expensive in cities is buying your way out of public systems: private schools, gated communities, private transportation

This is so, so well-articulated.

Can anyone explain to me why getting back to / near the moon is inherently good? It’s definitely cool, but why is it something that would benefit us?

The current 6-day Jeopardy champion works at a housing tax credit agency in New Jersey and for his banter with Ken he just looked directly at the camera and said "New York, California, shame on you, build more housing" and folks when I say heroes walk among us

At the end of the day, AI tools are overhyped, the companies pushing them don’t have our best interests at heart, AND they make a lot of mundane tasks easier. The things they’re actually good at just aren’t particularly flashy and you still have to know what you’re doing to be able to use them well.

This should lead to an automatic loss of license and impoundment.

Sometimes people who happen to be poor also want to buy their kids Doritos so they don't feel like weirdos.
