Oh my heart. So many lives to be ruined through the intentionally cruel inhumanity of the craven people who run these facilities. (I barely survived 60 days in a BOP prison.)

After 2.3 million bus trips and 4 years, one Bx11 bus driver crashed into a concrete divider, and now people think the bike lane is the problem and want it removed. Folks in the Bronx fought hard for this bike lane on the Washington Bridge. This is batshit. youtube.com/watch?v=mNk9...
Will any GOP members stand up for what is right? This ain't it.
Fun/enlightening #SignsOfSolidarity canvas in NJ w @paulthedogman.bsky.social. Lots of businesses eager to support immigrant workers/shoppers/neighbors. NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND UP FOR EACH OTHER. Thanks for signs/inspo, @indivisible.org! INFO: act.indivisible.org/signup/signs...
I'm not allowed to, so if you're in a back-to-school writing mood, please drop Donald and Tim a letter while they serve time for non-violent civil disobedience on behalf of the planet and all of us: opahjustice.org/write-letters/
It’s time to fight back. On Sept 20th, we will #MakeBillionairesPay. All across the world, authoritarian regimes are rising. A tiny circle of billionaires is profiting off the mess while the rest of us scramble to keep families safe. 1/
. 📢 HANDS OFF NYC 📍 Trump Tower, 725 5th Ave, NYC 📆 Sat. Sept. 13 ⏰ 12-1 pm Trump has threatened to send military troops into New York City! Join us at Trump Tower and tell Trump: 🪧HANDS OFF NYC! 🪧 NO TROOPS! 🪧NYC WILL NOT BE OCCUPIED! This is a nonviolent Rise and Resist action. #HandsOffNYC .
BREAKING, from NY Playbook PM: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid vaccines to New Yorkers who request them.
Okay, phew.
It's not typical of Park Slope, but rather a severe mental illness at play. He walks so much, his shoes are worn down, and he has to clean up literally everything he sees along the way. I worry about him, but there's really no way to help.
Hey (some of) Brooklyn, close your windows and pull in pet water, toys etc. this evening because the city is spraying for mosquitos overnight. The OCD guy who patrols Park Slope's street poles tore down all the notices, so help spread the word: www.nyc.gov/assets/doh/d...
Ya, I just paid $6 for a croissant up there yesterday and was pretty cheesed off.
And not just any dems...our so-called leadership, Schumer and Jeffries. Some dems, like Elizabeth Warren, are being clear and coming up with demands.
Hush now, trollbot.
I hear Alanis belting this out in a community board meeting…
This makes me very angry. That is all.
Epstein had an 8x10 framed photo of himself and Trump on his desk?!? “They were very close,” says survivor. Ew.
And same, @governor.ny.gov. Having to get a prescription is a ridiculous hurdle to a life-saving vaccine.
It’s pretty rich that @nytimes.com goes to corrupt, do-nothing head of Brooklyn Dems for a quote on Zohran. Why would anyone listen to this person who failed to do much of any campaigning in the 2022 election cycle and used party donations for her own campaign? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...
Trump Advisers Have Discussed a Job for Adams to Quit Mayor’s Race www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...
To the tune of, “It was written in the stars…” Disgusting, craven, self-dealing criminals made for each other.
This museum is fab. Rather than vilify me and my protest partner for our climate non-violent civil disobedience in another museum, they wanted to consult with us on how to make their collection more climate resilient and connected.
How about a Something that says you can’t run for a new seat if the US life expectancy is set to expire midway through your term? (For white women, currently 81 years.)
The Souzzster from deepest spit-of-land-off-NYC still thinking he represents the Democratic Party in any way/shape/form is a good one.
Just when I think there’s nothing new under the sun, I meet Mr. Chuck Taylor pants on the subway.
This is very much a year for machines. Cool factor this far quite low. Perhaps you will elevate it?
TFW your country takes public transit seriously.

“No one should doubt that human-caused climate change is real, is already producing potentially dangerous impacts, and that humanity is on track for a geologically enormous amount of warming.” So sayeth the Real Scientists.
Lycopene for days.
Doesn't it seem odd that the official White House website homepage is still featuring a photo of Trump driving a Tesla with an elated Musk as passenger?
NYC currently spraying for mosquitos if that helps? My neighborhood is this Thursday overnight.
As my nana used to say: You can’t buy taste.
HOW can this be?!? And WHY are we JUST learning about ghost cars now. Surely the NYPD must be on top of this issue? [sarcasm]
This group knows how to stretch a penny to make the biggest 🤡 possible of Cuomo.
But thanks in no little part to your owner, there will be no consequences.
“Like a Federal Forest Gump” hellbent on constitutional and human rights violations. Great reporting, but conflating him with Gump takes the punch out of what he and others who are “just following orders” are doing.
Also why do his polo sleeves come down over his elbows? And that embroidery is just embarrassing.
I am picturing the unveiling of a George Saunders-esque “The Semplica-Girls Diaries” lawn installation or some such.
I especially admire the use of “festers.” Like whatever is going on with Trump’s bruised, bloated body. Nice echo.
What about Bluestivus for the rest of us?
Also, why 11?!?
Really weird (typical) how he only mentions Nadler’s father.
He was a very early pro-choice champion in New York State legislature too. Much appreciation for his long, upright career.
Looking for coverage of #LaborDay protests, one has to scroll waaaay down @nytimes.com webpage, and then it’s under header “The Democratic Party’s Troubles” and some snark about crowd sizes.
Politically-induced existential dread shown to have time-warping power.
They clearly think you are Superman susceptible to some kind of pork kryptonite.
Ummm 🤔 I am not seeing much in the media about this … That says so much .. I remember when society believed in #Science . “ #Collapse of critical #Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds..” #ClimateCrisis #ClimateCatastrophe www.theguardian.com/environment/...
I read nail and thought how very Martin Luther.
Directing everyone to the original Solidarity Forever lyrics from 1915. They are lit! Happy Labor Day. www.protestsonglyrics.net/Labor_Union_...
Debbie Downer here to report only a few segments of that Acela route allow full speed.
I mean, he has a point. How can any democracy sustain this kind of output? *finds random, adorable post a bit further down my feed* bsky.app/profile/sara...
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
Some building! (The power of punctuation.)
I’d offer Giuliani thoughts & prayers but I’m told that harms the undead.
That it’s sexist pap.
Is anyone talking about how utterly terrified these kids must be?
Buried in middle of this: “Andrew and Trump were overheard at an event discussing Trump’s plans for a golfing complex in the north-east of Scotland, talking entirely about ‘pussy’, with the American producing a list of masseuses for the prince.” I’m sure none were underage. #EpsteinFiles
Someone needs to identify and protect the woman in the Giuliani crash asap so they don’t try to disappear her.
It was the gel. bsky.app/profile/jool...
Okay, she hit it out of the park with Kale, but you couldn’t pay me to take a meeting under these faces at her co-working space:
He was rammed by an abusive partner of a stranger whom he was “helping?” I’m going to need to know more about this help.
Brooklyn #bikenyc, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation is planning a big cleanup of a site in #Gowanus abutting the Bergen St. lane. Send them a comment now thru 10/5 about keeping the lane clear or setting up a safe detour. extapps.dec.ny.gov/data/der/fac...
Cc: @governor.ny.gov it is absurd that state senators have had to introduce bills to this effect. Just have NYSHealthy get it done!
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Classic Adams Admin ineptitude: An emergency alert with zero info about when. I mean, a lot of us know, but still…
Targeting children with pending immigration hearings. Classy. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Too busy trying to both sides all these rapidly deployed weapons of totalitarianism.
Revisiting these NY Times predictions 9 months later is chilling. Sure wish the paper of record was speaking out as strongly now.
*BIG accounts* is how PoliSci is done these days, I guess? bsky.app/profile/jlaz...
On the CT River, a bit inland from Long Island Sound. There’s also an amazing thrift store/animal sanctuary. It’s a neat little town.
You might enjoy Scott’s farm in Deep River where you can pick your own. It’s a goddamn delight.
Was riding and falconing a thing?
Current NY state law blocks pharmacies from dispensing vaccines (including the COVID vaccine) without a prescription, unless RFJ Jr.'s handpicked vaccine advisory council signs off. But state Sen. @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social has proposed a bill to fix that: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...
I’m so confused. This caption is about something else, yes?
this Wendy’s is tired of your bullshit
Planning a low-tech getaway from their other bigger/better fraud?
Yes, this just occurred to me yesterday. bsky.app/profile/jool...
Full force of militarized American law enforcement against…our kids? Playing/watching football FFS.
Glad The Guardian is getting the word out. Haven’t heard a peep from any US media.

The future of the Democratic Party sounds a lot like the GOP.
Stomach churning to see billionaires like Bloomberg back Cuomo. Their fear of Mamdani’s more equitable NYC is palpable. truthout.org/articles/the...
Yes, what were takeaways? Continuously distressing, for example, to see Prospect Park paving more and more paths, adding to the uphill hardening for our neighborhood. And so many school yards still wide swathes of asphalt, etc. @nycparks.bsky.social
It’s all horrible and true and somehow seeing it in print gives me a small modicum of joy, so you too should support @theonion.com. Bonus: They currently offer a funny/sloppy New Yorker ripoff tote. membership.theonion.com?campaign=701...
Brooklyn folk, help the Gowanus Conservancy drum up support for a Gowanus Business Improvement District here. It will help keep the neighborhood in tip top condition, sponsor events, etc. na3.documents.adobe.com/public/esign...
Cutting health services for pregnant veterans is cruel. A new Trump administration rule will cut access to abortions for veterans, even in cases of rape or incest. QUICK SIGNATURE: action.momsrising.org/sign/vetsrj via @momsrising.org #ReproductiveJustice #MaternalJustice
NYC, get out the cootie spray 9/22:
Oh!
It’s so great that you all turned out for them. It was beautiful to see. I hope it gets a lot of press coverage.
STFU with the slander, yes.
Solidarity! There is no such thing as too many protests atm.
This Labor Day, we stand together for a country that puts working families before billionaires. Find an event near you: https://bit.ly/3Vm59ED Don't see one in your area? Host your own! https://bit.ly/4oOLzhQ
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
Solidarity in support of all our health and safety. How lovely, truly.
Now that’s wholesome!
