I don’t think ICE should ever be allowed to cover their faces These thugs are grabbing people off the street. Violently arresting and detaining them. We have no idea if they’re real agents or not. But I find it especially egregious to allow them to cover their face and take children

I went away for a week & didn't get much election news but just sat down to watch the Mamdani acceptance speech and omg, this man. My family is 4 generations of New Yorkers and that first generation came off the boat, some with no English. I FELT this speech. He's 🔥🔥🔥 youtu.be/nKcooz1HEWc?...

It's amazing how using more than just paint actually prevents drivers from doing shit that endangers micro-mobility users

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways: First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices. Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

Why does Boston have any parking minimums? Let people who want parking pay for it.

Everyone in Boston hates cut through traffic so why not put an end to it? Not every street needs through traffic #LowTrafficNeighborhoods

Psssst. Hey Massachusetts, need any money for public transit? @massgovernor.bsky.social @kimdriscollma.bsky.social

“ICE agents took Milena Zapata away, while Zapata and [1.5-year old] Alaia stayed. Alaia could not stop sobbing as her mother was detained, Zapata said.”

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit. Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry. They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand. They chose cruelty and pain.

Update: Regime says it will comply with judge's order and restore full SNAP funding. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

#Massachusetts to resume full #SNAP payments today even as regime declares it would rather starve children than stop terrorizing American cities www.universalhub.com/2025/regime-...

Ned Lamont is second only to Adrienne Adams for worst NIMBY heel turn

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

As a pedestrian, I gotta say the amount of cars that drive at me while I'm in a crosswalk is a way bigger problem than a bike or scooter on the sidewalk. Way more frequent too. They don't stop or some will start accelerating right at you. Just stop for 10 more seconds.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

A common, if sometimes disingenuous argument, is that reducing parking is ableist. But it's not if you convert regular spaces to disabled spots as part of overall parking reduction efforts. But I suspect the non-disabled car brains wielding ableism as a cudgel won't agree with that solution.

“Cities are good, people want to live in dense walkable neighborhoods, and urban governance should prioritize city residents’ quality of life over suburban drivers’ convenience” remains a genuinely radical political program in America.

"A corridor once dedicated to cars" Oh, like the River Charles? #PedestrianizeStorrowDr

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Boston, lol

Yeah, but that's not what @thebostonlol.bsky.social was advocating for, it's just superficially similar. What's needed is for the big stroad and the greenway to be made into a "complete street" that's a local road with a park. But what we've got is a small highway on top of a big highway.

I want the number for the Boston metro area including Camberville and Brookline but we are up there Boston biking folks! KEEP REPORTING!!! MOAR!!!

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

This account also feels in line with some of what other people that have been in Broadview have shared.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

This is a cool summary of adaptive cycling including the bike trails in Massachusetts where you can rent an adaptive bike #AccessibleCycling brucefreemanrailtrail.org/rail-trail-r...

That city street (which is really an urban highway) is the reason why the Greenway is a bummer. It makes the park space unpleasant & polluted. While you are technically correct, the entire space is “the Greenway” colloquially, despite only the inner park space being “well akshually the Greenway”.

the future of electric vehicles is e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, electric vans, and small, shared affordable cars this also has a carbon footprint as large as an internal combustion engine SUV. this was greenwashing that was always going to fail - even before the massive subsidies were eliminated.

Not treating the greenway and the streets that confine it as a single system is the crux of the problem.

“The #Massachusetts State Police spends nearly $70,000 a month on a sophisticated GPS tracking system designed to enhance accountability and public safety. But 25 Investigates discovered a loophole: hundreds of cruisers are equipped with a ‘kill switch’ that allows the tracking to be disabled.”

ICE abducts nine at Allston carwash www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... #Boston

The Rise Kennedy Greenway to me is a failure of Boston park+ transportation infrastructure Only one photo but there are no people, and no bikers. Oh wait, that's because biking is illegal on the Greenway And no photo can show you is how loud this "park" is, trapped between 6+ lanes of traffic 😡

LUCE has set up a GoFundMe for the families of the Allston carwash workers abducted by masked men claiming to work for the government www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

It’s not even “papers please” anymore… Now it’s “we’re kidnapping you because you’re brown and we don’t care that your documents are five feet away in your work locker” This is illegal, immoral and cruel. 22 masked agents to kidnap nine car wash employees: www.boston.com/news/local-n...

For the folks who regularly ride bikes and/or transit to get around -- how old were you when you first started biking or taking transit? Been thinking about how I used to be one of those teenagers on transit & bikes and just...kept doing it.

Michelle Wu in Boston was re-elected w 92% approval after prioritizing bike lanes & telling Trump to pound sand.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not
