IIRC he and Christopher Leon Johnson were yelling homophobic slurs at all the attendees as well as threatening to assault many of them.

He also made sure to put in a Cuomo endorsement in a rambling message involving him continuing to stalk a female TA Brooklyn organizer, which just fits so well.

He also actively assaulted a TA person trying to usher him away from an event a few years ago and regularly goes after women at these events physically and verbally.

As per a photo after the assault, yep

In short, this type of layout has only existed in stations where outside circumstances made an over-platform mezzanine inconvienent to build. Nothing remotely like this exists at 116th and 2nd, and the MTA's insistence this is the best way to get passengers to trains is honestly embarrassing.

And, historically, the very shallow 96th Street stop on the 123 had this before the MTA expanded the median above the station on Broadway to accomodate a new entrance building that goes directly down to platform level, leaving the original concourse as a glorified transfer/access tunnel.

Nevins Street has an under-platform concourse necessitated by the station being unusually shallow for "oh shit we need to change the design of this line asap mid-construction" reasons, with a similar story I believe for Atlantic Ave.

Both Penn Station stops have them because the lines run extremely shallow to avoid the rail tunnels leading to Penn Station proper. A few stations along Grand Concourse have them but as complimentary entrances, co-existent with over-platform mezzanines, to streets Grand Concourse leapfrogs over.

This is gonna be shown in history classes when this is all over. There's really no better distillation of the psychotic, gleeful callousness with which these Nazis treat us.

Conservative straights still failing the "act remotely normal around women" challenge I see.

Not even Buddhism. It's less "life is suffering" and more "life is an existential anxiety that the Buddha's teachings can help lesson the stress of." She's just being psychotic.

So when all the actions and atrocities of this administration are compiled and reflected on this is an easy pick for the action that gets slotted into the back of the book as the "actually this was pretty reasonable" one.

Ah yes, who better to trust with insightful economic growth analysis than the person who *checks notes* almost singlehandidly eviscerated the value of the British pound to the point she resigned after just two weeks as PM.
