@mta.info Absolute NO to audio advertisements on the subway. The audio MUST be reserved for safety and service changes. Subway passengers should not be subjected to audio torture on top of the fares. It would be aggravating, intrusive, and add stress to an already over-stimulating environment.

A famous WWE guy caused a crash when going 100mph on the Merritt in a Bentley and all he got was a $1K fine. The cops and journalist sound like they were too busy drooling over the car and fan-boying out to take his dangerous behavior seriously #CrashNotAccident www.nydailynews.com/2026/02/25/v...

The SAVE Act was never going to pass the Senate, but passage was never the point. This piece lays out the real strategy: throw a barrage of voter suppression moves against the wall—all of which are designed to sow fear, suppress turnout, and muddy the midterms—and see what sticks.

This Colbert interview with James Talarico (running for Senate in Texas) is making headlines because CBS buckled to censorship efforts by the Federal Government, but please watch for his important insight on the problematic use of regligion in politics! youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

We’ve all trained ourselves to see car infrastructure as “normal” — and therefore its costs as invisible. Roads aren’t expensive, they’re just there. Parking spaces aren’t subsidies, they’re just “necessary”. But a bus that runs on demand? That’s “spending taxpayer money”.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

For any Democratic Party elected that is getting the 3rd degree over refusing to vote for a budget that funds ICE because it would defund FEMA...the GOP are defunding FEMA regardless.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I really hope the woman in the pink coat backed up that video immediately and that this man's killers didn't confiscate that evidence.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

As Trump continues to weaponize the EEOC against civil rights, we cannot stay silent. The lessons of our history are clear: bigotry and racism weaken this country, and we will not go backward. Read my recent Substack article at the link in my reply.

It’s genuinely bizarre that people who refuse to show their face or identify themselves are demanding identification from people who are fully visible.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out. Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks. IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

A government that is sending armed masked men into its own communities and allowing them to harrass, assault, and kill its citizens has no business commenting on Iran's suppression of its populace.

Oh, right, Trump's sour grapes about the Nobel Peace Prize is at play too.

“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment. Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵 In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).

@amtrak.com this is discriminatory. You do not have sufficiently large facilities for women to begin with, but almost without fail on busy travel days the bathroom closest to the food court is closed, making what would already be a long wait much longer. #Moynihan #NeedWomenInSTEM

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Just got a "nice bike!" From a 6-year old girl. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️ #BikeNYC

Zohran had an impromptu presser at a canvass event in Astoria last night and said many good things, but that last statement is a grand slam. youtu.be/ZaN2zB5D_Pk?...

So true! Thank you to all who turned out today too in West Lebanon, NH and White River Junction, VT for #NoKings. #LebanonNH #UpperValley

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

As seen at No Kings Atlanta:

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

these are excellent. adding my own: Peppermint Petty

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

🤷🏼

Some truly horrific stuff from these accounts. Terrifying that our official government resources have been commandeered by malevolent, immature, unserious people to the point where they cannot be trusted to provide factual information. I worry too about what information might be getting destroyed.

Original "No Kings" Protest #wesaynokings

Airports in at least Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, citing the Hatch act that bars use of public resources for political activity, won’t air a video where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the shutdown.

Activist @lindseyboylan.bsky.social spoke to me about Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment of herself and other women. Lindsey slammed corporate media platforms including The View that invites Cuomo on the show but doesn’t press him on the women he harassed. youtu.be/2J7RbQogs4g?...

Let's talk about Tylenol and pregnancy. Fundamentally, this is about making sure women do not get one ounce of relief, but it's also about criminalization. How long do you think it's going to be before they arrest someone for taking Tylenol during a pregnancy? We are going down that road.

Thought this was a headline about Florida Universities for a second. Might as well be and it sure as shit is the direction we are heading.

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

This is because a smart judge closed the case against the Mayor so Trump couldn't threaten him with it. The judge took Trump's stick away, forcing him to resort to the carrot. Dear fellow New Yorkers, don't vote for the candidate who needs/gets/wants Trump's assistance by getting Adams to bow out.

Seth Meyers put together clips of Trump yammering on about "big strong men" in the military. His infatuation with strong men is well known, but the flip side is that it sounds like he's setting the groundwork to drastically reduce women's roles in the military. www.facebook.com/share/v/15X6...

Needed to get downtown first thing in the morning on a Sunday on a holiday weekend. Train was scheduled at 7:04 and came at 7:05. Every seat was taken and some were standing. Lots of sleepy people on their way to/from work. Peaceful. Reliable. Safe. And then I see a post from

Time and time again traffic jams are one of the prevailing images of a weather emergency. Reliance on private passenger vehicles for evacuations has made many disasters more deadly, often with people dying in their cars. Over-evacuation isn't the problem, it's cars. nypost.com/2025/07/31/u...

Summer sunset sky as seen from the 6 Train in New York City.

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?

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K. This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Congestion Pricing made midtown quieter and calmer! Time for a shift the movie b-roll of New York streets from a chaos of loud metal boxes to the appealing mixed use roads bustling with pedestrians who aren't completely crushed together on too narrow sidewalks.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

See what happens when we don't fund education? But also, of course, he knows that's an anti-semitic term. Oh, and shame on any media like @cnn who tries to hide from the anti-semitism with apologetic language like "some people view the word “Shylock” as antisemitic". youtu.be/RTb9MW2D4-0?...
