'Kicking all of the reporters out of the Pentagon continues to go swimmingly, sir; they can't figure out what we're doing anymore'

mfs posting "general strike now!" we can't even get you to stop supporting Amazon and Starbucks

this is a very good sign

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Came across this doing some research on European bike lanes: Nazi regime (1933-1945): • Cycling infrastructure expanded Motivations were mixed: • Safety and efficiency • Order and discipline • Ideological emphasis on physical fitness • Autobahn projects sometimes included parallel cycle paths

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want. I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent. If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do. I'm sorry.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

IMPORTANT: Paris has more than “vision.” They have clear plans. Including a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan: - 300 million € invested by 2026 - 100 new hectares of ped space - 100 more “streets for kids” - Focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero - Longer ped cross times Does your city follow smart plans?

I’ve never heard more Minnesotans curse this much in my life

Mayor Mamdani name checked Jimmy Battaglia, who was killed on McGuinness in the 50s.

We’re waiting for the mayor at the McGuinness press conference. Meanwhile, DOT commissioner Mike Flynn has been handed, and put on, a make McGuinness safe — support which we never saw from the Adams administration.

Good to read: “much stiffer penalties for recidivist speeders & red light runners" - new DOT commissioner Flynn

Mike Flynn (no, not that one) is a very good choice for DOT.

The way we need to market this shit is to do what conservatives did for the past 30 years and write books like “The ten forbidden truths you’re not allowed to say on politically correct tv” and then it’s just cities are mostly fine and it’s good to get a flu shot

mamdani spending literally the first minutes of his mayoralty announcing mike flynn as dot commish, and talking abt the importance of public transit and streetscapes. smiling through it all like i cant believe this is my life

Sources say that Mike Flynn, a former DOT official and planner, has been named Zohran Mamdani's DOT commissioner. Livable streets movement folk cheered the news: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/31/m...

NEW: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will hire Mike Flynn, a longtime presence in New York City transportation planning, as commissioner of the Department of Transportation, the Mamdani transition team confirmed to Streetsblog. buff.ly/f7612wn

Zohran Mamdani being sworn in a few hours after Trump gives up on militarizing cities cannot be overemphasized

Preliminary data has proven CLEAR to be effective at keeping Washington Street safe and productive. The pilot should be extended until #Hoboken has a suitable replacement for enforcing parking violations.

"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi

Big Tech these days in a nutshell

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

The Turnpike Trap Coalition publishes the following statement in response to NJTA's Friday announcement. The "cancellation" is misleading: ❌ Proceeding with 4 new lanes adding >20K cars and trucks a day to Newark & Jersey City ❌ Tear down and rebuild plans after 14A are murky ❌ No dollars for NJT

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

What if raising money for a replacement Chesapeake Bay Bridge were a self-solving problem?⤵️

NJ folks: tell your state Senators and Assembly members to vote NO on #S4834 and #A6235 tell Sen. #Scutari to hold real hearing where he might discover that this bill would sink #Citibike statewide and cause more people to get into SUVs to deliver #burritos. #NJsenate #NJassembly @kim.senate.gov

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

are we winning yet? Trump's economic approval hits all-time low www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Turn one level of the BQE into a rapid transit ROW, come off the BQE at Pearl Street. Line runs from ~~36th Street to 2nd Ave to Clinton to the BQE. Cuts down via Pearl to include transfers to the F (York) and A/C (High). Then heads east up Flushing Ave and shoots up to Queens Center.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

May the odds be ever in your favor

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Hegswth ordered the code red!

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Great to see @kevinrbing.bsky.social, @glenn-mcan.bsky.social, and the other founders of newly launched Streets PAC NJ come out swinging in Jersey City's mayoral and council races. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/26/o...

Fuck these guys. “The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety measures, pedestrian trails and bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking back federal aid: the projects aren’t designed for cars.”

Just heard MikeJohnson referred to as the Speaker of the White House, and man is that perfection.

Stay tuned for some news tomorrow from StreetsPAC NJ streetspacnj.org
