Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

yes this! Why do we allow these companies to break laws and do nothing about it?

So self serving. An admittance of their getting rid of an ombudsman/public editor but no reason why or attempt to revive.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

I promised earlier this week I would write about this, and here it is. Russia is again running operations to help Trump. Its Matryoshka bot network, which is attacking several elections across Europe, is now attacking Dems ahead of the midterms. This is only the beginning

Russia Shifts Its Matryoshka Network Toward the U.S. Midterms

After a decade of Russian operations aimed at helping Trump win elections while attacking his opponents, the Russians are at it again and have shifted their focus to the upcoming midterms.

Not a single word about how these tariffs violate both our WTO & USCMA obligations. Every time Trump does this, the NYT & other outlets simply write as if we live in an international vacuum, where the US has no obligations under signed, ratified international treaties. It's journalistic malpractice.

she's not at all wrong. Dems have been bringing words to gun fights for too long. Work across the aisle for change and progress, fight fire with fire until then.

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

The US is technologically inferior. BYD's new 'Blade Battery 2.0' can add 400 km range in 5 minutes (70% charge) or full (97% charge) in 9 minutes. If the US invested in infrastructure for people instead of war, like China does, we could also fill our electric car batteries up at 1500kW stations.

what incredible hubris. I absolutely understand the Silicon Valley training of move fast and break things and understand why these people in that context might say such things, but the idea that they don't understand the incredibly different context they are working is in mind boggling!

What does it mean to “appreciate their sex” mean, why is it in the states interest and how does that sit with the constitution?

BTW, in my experience, the penultimate paragraph is exactly how most VC's have worked for the last 30 years. They try to avoid risk and look for things that others will also invest in. They've moved very much from the origin of why VC was needed.

What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?

This is the exact same Guy you could find 2,000 years ago as a Roman senator gleefully listing the number of Germani slain and sold into slavery, 900 years ago exulting in the sack of Jerusalem, or 100 years ago celebrating 500 yards taken on the Western Front. Timeless chickenhawk scum.

Watch both these videos. And if you don't think they're related, you're really going to enjoy living in the billionaire “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. The Surveillance State is complete.

🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would: Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges. Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

DHS literally posted "Want cheaper housing?" with a number to report your neighbors. We did this in the Trail of Tears. We used weak people's desire for free land to get them turn on the Natives. That was the "Destiny" our nation made manifest.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Tweet from Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun: "Ignorance like this cheapens the horror of the Holocaust. Anne Frank was in Amsterdam legally and abided by Dutch law. She was hauled off to a death camp because of her race and religion. Her story has nothing to do with the illegal immigration, fraud, and lawlessness plaguing Minnesota today.

Our brave law enforcement should be commended, not tarred with this historically illiterate and antisemitic comparison."

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.
