Oh wow. Cuomo raided funding from the MTA when he was governor of New York!! NYC: rank wisely. www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2017/...

Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

Baltimore City’s Code Red Extreme Heat Alert, in effect through Thursday, means city pools will operate on special hours this week.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

*COUGHS LOUDLY*

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

Hey you! Buy a bicycle and learn to ride before it's too late* *it's never too late, but you might be missing some fun

this is part of the reason they helped trump get elected. they like bombing iran, they like trump and they want to help him do it.

It's that time

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

My brain is breaking a little. The Cato Institute us saying ICE is going too far

I sincerely hope this doesn't happen and will contact my reps about it. You should too. If it does, though...can I bid on an EV that's designed to last for like 40 years?

Social Security has stopped publicly reporting its processing times for benefits, the 1-800 number’s current call wait time and numerous other performance metrics, which customers and advocates have used to track the agency’s struggling customer service programs.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

I've said before that the thing that seems to work with normies is to point out the NYT position on trans people aligns with the fake hate organization with 200 members trying to pass itself off as the American Academy of Pediatrics - instead of the position of the 67,000 doctors in the real AAP.

As you read CATO's report on how 65% of the people ICE has detained committed no crime, remember that @padilla.senate.gov was asking why Kristi Noem always invoked the same 6 cases when Noem's goons assaulted him. That's why. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

people say this site is all politics but there's at least one other type of major sicko on here in numbers

I biked on the Lake Champlain Causeway from Burlington

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. đź§µ

I know my pet issue is not universal etc but it’s actually insane to me how little of the anti-Cuomo campaigning addresses the years he spent conspiring with Republicans to deprive New Yorkers of the legislature they elected en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indepen...

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

Yes, and... Trimming the greenery along falls Rd (North of this project area) so the overall right of way is wider Using that space to extend protected bike infrastructure up to clipper Mill, the fox building, and Hampden proper. Hell, a fuller protected connection to the JFT at Woodberry

Three months ago, Zohran Mamdani confronted Trump's “border czar” Tom Homan — as most Democrats simply twiddled their thumbs after Mahmoud Khalil was taken. "How many more New Yorkers will you detain?!" "Do you believe in the First Amendment?!" Today, Khalil is freed.

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

Today has just been "We killed Chevron deference for a reason" day at the SCOTUS. And that reason, of course, was that the Republican justices want to destroy the environment and help tobacco companies.

I truly don’t care who the mayor of NYC is but the Democratic establishment throwing everything they have behind a cartoonishly terrible person because they’re just that afraid of progressives is such a snapshot of this party as a whole and it’s making me a little more insane every single day

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

America is not sleepwalking, or bumbling, or stumbling. People with intent and agency are making these choices.

NYT had Tom Homan on The Daily this morning as if he was just a normal guest. They have made a clear decision to lick boots. Couldn’t be me.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

This is an incredible day to give money to the Trans Income Project, who will give that money directly to trans people Moreover, ICE must be destroyed www.transincomeproject.org/donate

Most regular people have no idea how restrictive zoning is in most North American cities. Yes, we try to separate people from destinations. We mandate arbitrary amounts of parking. We treat any housing denser than a single-family home as an aberration that needs to be carefully managed.
