Where's my congressmember @repdangoldman.bsky.social ? I've seen plenty of fluff from his office, but nothing on the most critical issue of the day.

Truly the best attorney advertising I’ve ever seen.

Today NYC DOT launched the application portal for our new e-bike trade-in program. Through this pilot delivery workers with uncertified e-bikes & illegal mopeds can sign up to trade them in for a free, UL-certified e-bike + 2 certified batteries. More info here: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm...

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.
