More cultural influencers who happily « brand » themselves as car-less #bike riders for local transportation in their #cities *and* journalists like @emilynussbaum.bsky.social @newyorker.com who include that point = #ClimateInfluence | See yourself riding more for short trips!

What if you had to take your drivers test at least every 10 years?

A lot changes over time. Including knowledge/memory of the road rules, driver skills and ability, and the size and deadliness of vehicles.

Totally agree. Getting an ebike changed not only the way I get around atlanta, but my experience and relationship with the city, for the much better to be clear. Ebikes are revolutionary while EVs are a small (but important) shift in the current system.

One thing I absolutely love about riding a cargo bike around, is how often people will stop to talk to you about it. Especially if it's outfitted with lots of kid gear and associated stickers 😂

So many people are interested in accessible, non-car ways of getting around. It gives me so much hope

You can tell Cuomo's campaign has cooked its brain on Twitter because it's repeating nonsense talking points from people like Andrew Fine and Reza who claim only rich people use transit.

As of 2017, bus riders in NYC earn an average salary of $28K, well under subway riders ($40K).

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 21h

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

a certain candidate does not post on this platform so I will share this roundabout shot and chaser for all to see

Andrew Cuomo
@andrewcuomo
X.com
In a democracy, the rule of law must be sacred - impartial, objective, and above politics. When the law is weaponized or manipulated to advance political agendas, it erodes public trust and weakens the very foundation of justice. Whether it comes from the right or the left, from prosecutors or politicians, the politicization of law enforcement is dangerous and corrosive.
We must restore faith in fairness, facts, and due process - because once justice becomes partisan, everyone loses.

Lower income New Yorkers are more likely to ride the bus s. Also the house he used to live in before he split with Sandra Lee is worth 1.8 million dollars (third link) and had five bedrooms and six bathrooms and at 5,000 sqft meets the historical definition of a mansion
