I like biking. I hate inaction on preventing climate change. I think Boston could be the best city in the US, should have over a million residents, and be fully bikeable #CarLiteBoston #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.
Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

My 7yo this afternoon: “It’s been so long since we’ve taken the @bunchbike.com somewhere!”

Me: “We just rode it to/from St. Paul last night.” (40 mins each way)

7yo: “Yeah, but yesterday was a long time ago.”

Trikes do so much.

I saw this e-trike owner on our way home late last night (& again just now!).

They have a ton of string lights and it looks SO cool all lit up at night.

We exchanged compliments about our different, bright and colorful trikes as we passed on Bryant.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Quite a leadership achievement for @london.gov.uk’s government! While nations talk, (some) cities act. And get results.
