ICYMI 🔔 #GoodClimateNews alert: New York edition! 🚴 🚴 🚴

From paving over the notorious Big Bump to announcing plans to finish the long-overdue 31st Street bike lane in Astoria, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani made NYC cyclists quite happy during his first week in office.
Mamdani’s First Week Was Very Good for Cyclists
The new mayor revived two road redesigns and flattened a hazardous Williamsburg Bridge bump.

Matthew 25:35-40 and fuck this guy
Speaking on behalf of a religion that actively sought to spread itself to every country in the world whether invited or not, Speaker Johnson would like to share with you the Biblical case for strong borders.

I know we all WANT these people to go to jail but the amount of people confidently posting like any of it is guaranteed need to remember how many people went to jail for lying about WMDs in Iraq 🙃, nevermind impeachments, nevermind the file releases & decades on that too...

Nobody should be praising her. She knew for years who Epstein was. She quietly asked Bill for years to stop hanging around him, and he refused. It was only when Bill's connection to Epstein became public a few years ago that she divorced him.
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

We can hold that people outside of beauty standards do get judged more harshly

AND

if you are consently bragging about your proximity until something bad happens and then

“I don’t be saying nothing/ well I was just trying to get on”

You are still a problem

NEW: The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens.

The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

We are shipping 40+ orders a day to make up for last week's snowpocalypse.

And yet I can still get you Valentine's Day gifts on time because my team is amazing.

Supporting queer business is cool, I heard.

Very short; I'm beyond beat. But I missed a couple of crowdfunds last night.

Okay, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's feature is a truly extraordinary heart-shaped necklace set with 16 cabochons and strung on beads to match, wood and stone, fire and ice [shown below].

Two as-yet-unposted pairs of earrings capture the colors and effects.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This part is both chilling and so empathetic/generous. The chilling part is obvious, but that last line does something else: it allows us to see process, the “how she got there,” the thing that nagged until she figured it out. It’s a gift and a challenge. Dr. McMillan-Cottom is a *great* teacher.

If many people hold a left-wing opinion they are a mob and should be ignored; if few people hold a left wing opinion they are fringe and should be ignored. The substance or correctness of the opinion is irrelevant. This is the reactionary centrist credo bsky.app/profile/eliv...

They weren't rookies

The two federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti had a combined 20 years of experience with BP or CBP, and simmered in a toxic culture with an absurd crime rate that must be erased, not "reformed"

First, little Niko, age 3. He has cerebral palsy and needs urgent kidney surgery. It can only be done in Colorado; travel/lodging costs. He's medically fragile; mandatory recovery *there* will be 4-6 weeks. Surgery 02/26/26, so this needs funding now:

So tonight, it's crowdfund night. Please pick one to give/share/get closer to goal.
