Can anyone explain why @nycschools.bsky.social was dumping perfectly decent furniture at John Jay campus this weekend? Seems like a huge waste? @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social
Dumpster full of office chairs.

Amazing that 7th Ave. F/G stop in #parkslope is being retiled…but won’t it get immediately ruined if leaks aren’t fixed first? @mta.info @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

Saint John the Divine in NYC has a similar display inside. It is a gut punch. (This is only half the installation.)

A wide swath of New Yorkers marching this evening to demand an end to ICE terror on our streets, a full independent investigation of yesterday’s shooting, action from our Electeds, and an end to NYPD cooperation with ICE. #ICEOut #ICEOutOfNYC
Protest in streets. Signs saying Defeat Fascism, I heart Immigrant NYC, End ICE, etc.

If BK6 is going to Insist on illegally parking their personal cars all over the sidewalk next to a playground, the least they could do is pick a side! This is just absurd disrespect for neighbors. @nycsanitation.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

The very day after they shot a fellow New Yorker in front of his young child, ICE is running around the city terrorizing and kidnapping neighbors as usual. This is an outrage. All Elected officials need to be speaking out, taking action on this All Day. @mayor.nyc.gov @schumer.senate.gov

This is one of the biggest misfires of @nyc-dot.bsky.social co-named streets program. West 63rd is one of the least Sesame Street-esque blocks in NYC even if it is where their offices are.

Just a gorgeous day in Gowanus, yet the multimillion dollar park @nycparks.bsky.social built is deserted. Probably nothing to do with @nycsanitation.bsky.social using the surrounding sidewalks like trash? Why have a ten year #visionzero plan instead of taking care of day to day? @mayor.nyc.gov
Empty park. Car mess

It’s quaint that @nyc-dot.bsky.social is bothering to draw new truck routes while NYPD simply refuses to enforce our existing ones and oversized truck laws.

Can anyone @mta.info confirm or deny whether trash deposited on subway platforms truly gets recycled? Doubt has been low grade nagging me for decades.

Ever wonder why FreshDirect and other commercial drivers in NYC park like this with impunity? It’s because a) @nycfinance.bsky.social gives them a substantial break on parking tickets and b) NYPD isn’t up to snuff on one of the main ways they are supposed to protect New Yorkers. @mayor.nyc.gov
