There’s another scandal buried in the Trump-Republican budget plan that’s not getting enough attention: massive giveaways to Big Oil.

elon and trump are meeting outside uniqlo on sunday 5pm. 3251 20th Ave, San Francisco, CA, 94132

@visibilitybrigade.bsky.social more pictures to follow from our west LA brigade this morning @indivisiblewestsidela.com Fun!!!

The Lever has now released a searchable database of FDA-approved drugs which lets you look up the medicine you are taking & see the scientific proof submitted by drugmakers to demonstrate whether the drugs are safe/effective. Database here - please share: www.levernews.com/do-your-drug...

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Bravo to @ridersalliance.org and all the activists who have been working to make this Flatbush redesign happen! Next, we need congestion pricing for downtown BK. gothamist.com/news/brookly...

This is like buying a billboard to ask bad actors to give it a go.

The smoke from Canada’s wildfires may be even more toxic than usual. A legacy of mining means that toxic metals could be carried along plumes of smoke. grist.org/climate/cana... #Wildfire #Smoke #Wildfires #Climate #Air #AQI

*toll the bells* 1.5 is dead *toll the bells* while they are still above water and there’s still a human to toll them.

Well, now we have a date. Let’s see if that motivates our do-nothing leaders. #climatecrisis

In these dark times, at least everyone agrees foster youth should not have to move their belongings in garbage bags. BTW this is the kind of sensitive, humane, common sense bill we get when we elect public school teachers. @jabaribrisport.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov imprintnews.org/top-stories/...

Imagine being so scared of a flyer that you send a cease and desist. Cuomo threatened a union after they distributed their top 10 reasons not to support him. Here’s the flyer that he didn’t want you to see 🔄 #NoCuomo #NYC #Union #AnybodyButCuomo

Goodness gracious this is no way to run a bus system in a dense urban neighborhood, @nyctbus.bsky.social. This was my wait time this morning in central Brooklyn. When will we see service improvements from congestion pricing revenue, @mta.info? @ridersalliance.org @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

Earlier today, while courthouse ICE arrests continued inside federal buildings, at a nondescript office nearby more immigrants were rounded up at required check ins, in another Trump administration escalation. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/03/i...

My great hope is if the #superspeeder bill passes in NYS, I’ll no longer find an average of one deadly driver menacing our streets each day just by using @howsmydrivingny.bsky.social. They are easy to spot because they also park like sociopaths, like this one in a hospital crosswalk.

BREAKING: Constituents are in body bags blocking their GOP Senators’ office doors in DC. Trump's spending will kill people by taking away our healthcare, our jobs, and food assistance — all so Elon Musk and Oil CEOs can get a big tax break.

One of the more delightful @nyctbus.bsky.social stops in NYC, courtesy of Madison Square Park shady benches. Every one should have a place to sit. @ridersalliance.org

Can candidates decline an endorsement? If so, @bradlander.bsky.social @zellnor.bsky.social should do so here because this clownish mashup might hurt their campaigns. #DontRankCuomo
