Worried the transphobic Trump administration will cut more MTA funding once they hear about this M/F transition: www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

This is depressingly common now. A lot of people have in absentia removal orders they don't know about. And now that the benefits office is becoming an arm of the mass deportation machine, so people are getting picked up in this situation -- and grace to give time to file a motion to reopen is gone.

Every time.

I promised myself I'm not going to lose my mind on this.....but stop this nonsense. It was a mild program. There were warning signs for the cameras. Make it a moral fight. Stop this nonsense capitulation compromise stuff that will get people killed.

Yes, that’s right!

Support for iOS 26 is here! This update comes with a revamped user interface, a new way to look up upcoming transfers, and Liquid Glass everywhere! Update Subway Now on iOS to version 1.6 to experience it.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

You can only upzone one region of NYC for the rest of your life. Which one are you choosing?

They missed the easy layup

I published the first of the two articles about my recent train trip across Bosnia and Herzegovina. This journey was fascinating and I hope you read it!

So much bus infrastructure, yet so little bus service.

Downtown Markham is a strange place.

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s defense team says that the government is attempting to coerce him to plead guilty to his criminal charges. Per filing, the government promised to deport him to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty — and is now threatening to remove him to Uganda if he doesn’t accept the deal.

it is very common in the mainland to routinely give red envelopes to reporters *because it is a bribe.*

This app is my go to for the NYC subway...highly recommend it!!

NJ Transit's official data makes it difficult to tell just how bad it is. So @suryamattu.com and I spent three months collecting the raw location data for more than 190,000 trains on NJT, Metro-North, and LIRR. Then @mariepastora.bsky.social made the graphics to show you. The answer: Very bad.

Not a huge Derek Thompson fan but he's straightforwardly correct here. Financial institutions own a tiny percentage of US homes and generally rent them out rather than keeping them vacant. Preventing BlackRock from buying housing wouldn't do much to help affordability. www.gao.gov/assets/gao-2...

Summer Streets went even further Uptown this year!

“and they really wanna charge $3 🙄” as the top response(s) on videos of the MTA flooding is not actually that big of a deal but it just hits me right in “phone slamming” synapse

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Grabbed a bubble tea, tamaki and a kimbap from Union Market to consume on a GO train. Am I in Asia??

C’est quoi UP

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Wow -- The Guardian has already reported this guy's name. "the account is apparently run by Jordan Lasker, a long-time proponent of eugenics... boosted or engaged with dozens of times by Elon Musk, often on the topic of falling birthrates." bsky.app/profile/eyes...

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?

The problem here isn't just the answer but the question. Mamdani has denounced antisemitism and clarified his position on this random slogan *other people* chanted at a protest numerous times. This is only a "tough question" if you think it's your job to repeat bad faith Republican attacks.

Also the entire news media. There's really not that many Democrats on the anti-Mamdani beat but curiously virtually all of them are getting prime slots on cable news shows as if they speak for all Democrats. It makes you think!

Zohran at Queer Liberation March!

Step one to success is not policy-based at all. It's overcoming a caricature that you are happy to promote. This is the city's top centrist opinion website just accepting that of course you have the right to be suspicious of Muslim elected officials

Starting your "Here's how this guy could be a good mayor" piece with "This Muslim guy has to prove to us he's not an anti-Semite" is complete bigotry www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how...

Rode an Italian train in Spain.

Really need Amtrak to get their shit together and operate a high-speed rail service in Spain that actually has A/C on.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

I’m just going to get this out now, since I know it’s coming, and I can just link to it. DO NOT FETISHIZE NON-VIOLENCE. It is a PRACTICE and a DISCIPLINE. The people who employed it successfully trained RIGOROUSLY. It’s not just a decision, because it goes against basic human instincts. 1/x

Happy Pride!

With three House Democrats passing away since January, it's looking like being a Democratic House Rep. is by far the most deadly job in America, with an annualized estimate of 3689 deaths per 100,000. Logging is a distant second at 100.7 per 100,000
