Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat breaks down authoritarianism, including directly addressing what's happening in the United States today. It's a great video.

I feel ashamed to be a NYS Democrat. First our bungling handed Trump the House, and now we've willing handed over the Senate. What an embarrassment.

Both parties are, effectively, the same. This is why voters stay home, this is why Trump is in power.

If the suburbs can clear their sidewalks effectively, so can we. If we are serious about safety, our city must adapt the policy on when and how we plow. It’s time to prioritize people over cars and make winter mobility safe for everyone. ❄️ #VisionZero #SafeStreets #MaryForMayor #PlowTheSidewalks

I have an Acer Chromebook that is a great laptop for day-to-day use, it was very affordable too. It's a shame we will need to pay more going forward. I wonder if they will actually bring manufacturing to the U.S.

"The "We Get Around NY" bill...would save New Yorkers $3,750 per household annually and prevent nearly 5,000 deaths by 2050." We are grateful for our partnership with @ridersalliance.org to push for equitable transit options over more highway expansions. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2...

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

"Public transit is more than just a way to get around—it’s a path to opportunity, independence, and a stronger, more connected society." More important sentiments from transit riders! #TransitMovesTheEconomy voicesforpublictransit.org/honoring-tra...

We should challenge a lot more directly this very common idea in American politics that cities exist only to provide comfort, luxury, and labor to the suburbs.

Is NYC's congestion fee a regressive tax? No. Driving into Manhattan is expensive even w/o the fee, so very few low-wage workers do it. Plus the money will be used to improve the transit systems they *do* use paulkrugman.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

This is an important thing for all of us to consider. A car centered society is actually very limiting as people age, if they are disabled, if they have financial hardship. Good sidewalks, good bike trails, and good transit offer much more liberty.
