FUCK

Listen to the transit and safe streets activists, folks. We warned you about Eric Adams and we're warning you this time: "...it’s worth noting that Andrew Cuomo did not appear on anyone’s ballot at all."

Donate if you're able.

Proud to get a shoutout from @bradlander.bsky.social, our top pick for Mayor, in last night's final debate ahead of tomorrow's start to early voting. Read about our mayoral endorsement here: www.streetspac.org/2025_nyc_may...

We’re grateful for Brad Lander’s commitment to safer streets and better public transit. He’s more than earned our endorsement. landerfornyc.com/news/streets...

🔥🔥 “State Senator @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social, who completed our endorsement process before endorsing Andrew Cuomo last week while remaining in the race, likely would have found her way into our rankings before that inexplicable decision.”

NEW: StreetsPAC recommends that voters rank Comptroller Brad Lander first for mayor, saying his plan for safer streets and better public transit is "by far the most comprehensive blueprint ... we've ever seen from a candidate for any office." buff.ly/WgU5qEr

In other words, you can be paid $115k PER MONTH by a foreign government AND you facilitate a gift and official visit and promote obvious favorable policies towards said government AND you take actions that violate tons of federal anti corruption regulations, & this toadie will still lick your boots

Hillary was shrill. Biden was hoarse. Kamala Laughed. Dukakis wore a helmet. Howard Dean shouted. Muskie cried. Johnson signed the Civll Rights Act. Nixon went free. HW Pardoned all of the contra-gate criminals. W wasn’t tried at The Hague. “The press is great and always was.” - The Press

There's a type of Democrat that is so afraid of real progressives like Lander or Mamdani that they'll endorse a corrupt sex pervert. Utterly shameless and devoid of any core ethics or values.

Andrew Cuomo is the current frontrunner for Mayor, and, for riders, his comeback would be a nightmare. As Governor, Cuomo raided MTA funds, hiked fares, and let subway delays quadruple. He's NEVER been a rider—he only uses our subways as a political prop. 1/3

The clear misogyny of Trump saying only little girls will be punished by the tariffs is a moment to see why he's so effective at rallying his base. It's something Democrats can do, too! www.thefarce.org/trump-aims-c...

The administration just hasn’t been able to find those thousands of criminal aliens they claimed were rampaging throughout the nation. Like so many other themes Trump campaigned on, the plague of immigrant crime was a fiction.

An Albania opposition party led by a guy trying to get removed from a State Department “persona non grata" list for "involvement in corrupt acts," is paying $6M to a firm that employees Susie Wiles' daughter and Rubio's former COS to lobby the Trump administration. efile.fara.gov/docs/7545-Ex...

With this man of integrity running thing and a genius like Elon Musk providing the tech, things are going to be looking up at NASA soon! ... Sorry, that should be "blowing up"

"[Musk is] leaving with his reputation wounded, relationships severed, companies in crisis, fortune diminished — and little to show for DOGE but chaos and contested savings." www.axios.com/2025/04/25/e...

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

Every interaction I’ve ever had with @sewell.bsky.social he’s been a model of professionalism and integrity. This news is shocking and inconsistent with the Sewell I know and his well earned reputation for excellence in the field.

I don’t think transportation/climate advocates talk enough about cleaner air as an outcome of reducing car dependency and electrification. As narrative and messaging it polls *staggeringly* well, and the quantified benefits to public health and racial justice are much larger than many people realize

The ramifications and power of this moment and these images cannot be overstated. We must use this momentum to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This expresses it well. Willful defiance of a court order is, by definition, not an official act. Pass it on.

Looking forward to the Trump DOJ trying to explain to Judge Xinis how the United States remains totally powerless to do anything about Abrego Garcia’s continuing detention at the CECOT.

Starting with the Supreme Court?

New data released this week reaffirmed a seemingly paradoxical reality of the post-Roe v. Wade era: Abortion rates have continued to rise despite the increasing restrictions nationwide. Why? We asked the people who wrote a book on it.

Poll respondents agreed that a maximum security prison in El Salvador is an appropriate place to house a felon convicted on 34 counts.

There is no “administration” to be confused. There’s a mad king with a coterie that must lick up and serve his spittle every day.

I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Booker: "I've never seen an administration in my lifetime do something so monumentally wrong and that so staggering hurts American people."

Remember that period of time when everyone was worried that we were falling behind in STEM categories. Well it feels now like we could benefit from a rebalance with Civics, humanities, literature, arts, music, geography, etc
