Greenpoint’s streets are talking. Also, I wish the No was in blue. #NoCuomo

May the gods bless these United States of New York City.

Trump’s provocations have turned Angelenos into pedestrians

How it started vs how it is going. The Wall St class now says the e-bike crack down is hurting business! "App-based delivery services...rely heavily on e-bike riders to meet customer demand. A chaotic enforcement regime hurts workers today and commerce tomorrow." Article - archive.today/aFulv

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

"The identity of the shooter is not known, but authorities are speculating that the person may have been impersonating law enforcement when they appeared at the respective homes, which are located in the Minneapolis suburbs."

No kings

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

A perfect ad. Pass this along to everyone you know in New York.

#NYCtech & #PiTech, tomorrow is the last day you can register to vote in NYC AND the first day you can vote in the Primary!!! Let's make sure New Yorkers who love democracy represent those of us who believe in democracy!!!

Clear eyes. Full heart. Can't lose.

American Airlines has flights that are BUSES!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XD1...

DOGE promised “efficiency.” It delivered chaos. 📅 Join us on June 24 for a conversation on how DOGE used the austerity politics playbook to undermine democracy and strip down essential public services. events.zoom.us/ev/Ar-gjHUXJ7M...

Whitney Tilson is going to rank Cuomo as #2!? And Cuomo says nothing... LOL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElGf...

Not an accident...

Cuomo quoting Ed Koch is laughable. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Politics are better when we actually work together. Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social for putting the future of the city before yourselves and working to stop a corrupt anti-nyc disgraced former governor from trying to take over this great city.

This rules. Congrats to @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for making this alliance happen. May it govern the city and show the country what an incredible difference that a left-liberal coalition can make.

As they should!!!

Gorgeous post by @anya1anya.bsky.social. "We adapt to the unforgivable, we continue on despite the unimaginable, we pray in the rubble. This is beautiful and nothing less than human, yet it is profoundly dangerous." open.substack.com/pub/thegolde...

"What if Andrew Cuomo's plan to hire 5,000 more cops actually hurts other vital public services?" is not a headline we ever see.

Come hang out TONIGHT!! We can talk LPE or the cognitive dissonance of Mamdani surging while the world burns, canvassing this wkend, or just abt how we're filling the void the Knicks left in our lives Tonight (5-7:30pm) at DSK in Ft Greene (lots and lots of trains nearby)! 🍻✊

Note, we need to fly all the American revolution flags. Let us show the far-right, they do not own liberty or freedom. www.grandnewflag.com/blog/history....

Tienimen had tank man. Chicago has SUV ICE woman. www.instagram.com/reel/DKz5LHJ...

The US Navy was locked out of their ovens… https://m.slashdot.org/story/443171

> @nyc-dot.bsky.social posted this image to the other site. My response is the following. Flexy posts and plastic speed humps are the equiviants of vertical paint. Fewer interactions save lives. Eliminate parking, limit turns, and build proper bike infrastructure.

The LA protests are drowning in AI slop... ...and to think that NYC just celebrated #TechWeek with the EDC and TechNYC celebrating a16z which is trying to stop NY from regulating misinformation. www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/... www.politico.com/newsletters/...

The federal government is kidnapping people.

Soldiers were seen purchasing clothing and tchotchkes, including "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces to faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The stench of Cuomo is growing. The guy has killed people and ripped off New York State to millions/billions with his “experience” of being bought off. Give me ANYONE else but him.

WTAH?! WTAH?!

Really happy to be having this conversation, and much needed space for a more skeptical view on AI hype - seeing civic tech as an attitude and philosophy about what kind of society we want to build, rather than filling up a bag of shiny tools. #TICTeC

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

It’s amazing how many news sources played this straight. Any of them could have went with “Dusty Old Crone Lends A Hand To Gov Handsy”

Billionaires & Trump donors are all aligning themselves with Cuomo www.politico.com/newsletters/... www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/10/f...
