Holy shit. I didn't see this on the news. What judge signed a warrant for this? Did they even have a warrant? Police don't even do raids like this.

Had a good breakfast once at that restaurant on the corner across from the museum. Nice to revisit the memory.

It’s almost as if the Trump regime lies

'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

🔥 District 19 is a diverse, vibrant community that is majority Asian & Latino and 47% Democrat. The people deserve better than to be represented by Vickie Paladino and her racist, hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. Come join Ben Chou’s canvass. Let’s get him into office!!!

Donate to firefighter Ben Chou for NYC council. He’s running against MAGA Vickie Paladino. New Yorkers deserve officials who want to fight fires, not political arsonists. If you live in Ben’s district, please vote in November. This is a winnable race.

This is too long for Bluesky, so please watch on our actual community. Vickie Paladino is the most MAGA politician in New York, going so far as calling to deport Zohran Mamdani. Here is her opponent

I hope you never need me, but if you are hurt in a crash with a negligent driver while on your #bikenyc or walking on our streets, I can help.

Here are some suggestions on what to do if you are in a crash. Critical among them: make sure you're safe, call 911 & accept medical help if you're injured.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways.

It's absurd drivers get a grace period as it has been illegal to do these things for many many years.

Fired for literally just quoting Kirk’s public words, with no additional commentary.

“To quote Kirk is to dishonor him” is such a wild claim.

(See also its corollary: all the pundits praising him never quote him.)

The political press corps has been making its brokenness so absolutely clear.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together.

Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

“Zohran Mamdani and I will both be fearless in confronting Donald Trump’s extreme agenda — with urgency, conviction, and the defiance that defines New York” writes Gov. Kathy Hochul.

I am confident that Zohran Mamdani has the courage, urgency, and optimism New York City needs to lead it through the challenges of this moment.

With 12,500 bike parking spaces, Utrecht Centraal Station is one of the best examples the Dutch have to offer of the seamless way they’ve chained the bicycle and the train into a single form of mobility that connects people to all of their daily needs: housing, employment, education, and healthcare.

Dropped by the Austin Open Street in Forest Hills to get a pulse on the years-long movement to do something about the strip. I beleive at the very least the street should go 1-way & sidewalks widened!
