A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

NPR’s house style of straightforward headlines is such a refreshing alternative to the NYT’s constant equivocating and filtering everything through a “raises questions about” lens.

An agenda for Supreme Court reform: - 18 year term limits - Expand the court to 13 Justices - Binding ethics rules - Congressional limits on what the Court can rule on per act of legislation We need to change the composition of the Court, but also its role. The Court has far too much power.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Getting sympathetic press coverage is a key way to continuing to win the messaging war here too. Shutting out the press just cedes the field of the national press to the right wing. There’s no doubt that folks should be thoughtful about which outlets to trust, but a blanket ban seems shortsighted.

It will only get worse too as the pipeline of talented law students and attorneys a few years into practice dries up. Why take a pay cut to have to prosecute the president’s enemies? Even cynical lawyers who don’t care about the morality won’t want the professional stain the rest of their careers.

What a waste of city time and resources. Cars are many times more dangerous to pedestrians, other cars, and bicyclists than e-bikes, and there is a complete culture of impunity around them.

Going independent has meant having the freedom to say that ICE is kidnapping people, to describe our government as authoritarian, and to say more directly when fascism is happening. I hope we'll start to see this more in large newsrooms before it's too late.

this thread is such a great example of this tendency. instead of just arguing against the thing you don't like ("I think we should be allowed to drive over the speed limit") making up a bunch of other objections that you don't actually believe but you think sound more sympathetic

I think that “contributor” to your family fits better than “provider,” which could arguably align with the outdated idea that part of manhood is needing to be the so called breadwinner for your family.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The MAHA agenda isn’t about actual health, it’s about perceived moral purity. They don’t get sick because they’re better than you, and their wellness is a reflection of them living a Morally Correct life. Anything that contradicts that needs to go.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems like it could potentially be a good idea? The NYPD obviously has no interest in traffic enforcement—letting another group handle it could do some good.
