And we've already seen the transformative impacts of eliminating the fare when we won and implemented a historic fare free bus pilot on one line in each borough.

Ridership went up. Assaults on operators went down. And people saved money.

Albany must embrace transformational change to bring NYC transit back on track and be ready for the challenges of tomorrow.

Fairyland, a movie based on the book by the wonderful Alysia Abbott, opens in theaters on 10/10. Had a satisfying cathartic cry (as did many in the theatre) as @alexanderchee.bsky.social moderated the discussion for the screening. Go see this film. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/m...

It’s actually far worse

We’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would see the entire government shut down AND billionaires get tax breaks rather than allow Americans to afford their healthcare OR even be able to get medical treatment because their policies are causing hospitals to close

Full of excellent info. I did same research in 2021 when I was pregnant & shots were new. If you are pregnant, you def want a Covid shot if possible--both Covid and pregnancy can compromise respiration & increase blood clots. Plus newborn can't be vaxxed but can get protected this way.

New: The CDC acknowledges that pregnancy, in and of itself, is a high-risk condition for severe Covid. Yet it removed its vaccine recommendation for pregnant people without other conditions. Its contradictory messaging, plus the Trump admin's broader actions/inaction on vaccines, has reduced access.

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?

Some states are threatening to end SNAP. Why? Trump is setting state governments up for failure, cutting resources, adding administrative burdens while imposing massive financial penalties for errors.

The very predictable effects of Trump’s attacks on SNAP is that more Americans will go hungry.

But the Trump administration has a solution for that: it is stopped collecting data on food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

If you’ve got an extra screen that isn’t doing anything right now, throw on the Sumud flotilla livestream and play it in the background. The more eyes on it the better, even if only passively.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

The U.S. Transportation Department said on Monday that it will not enforce key provisions of a rule issued in December by former President Joe Biden's administration that requires new consumer protections for disabled passengers using wheelchairs.
