People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us

Whenever they tell us 'there just isn't the money for [literally any social service],' they lie.

In NY, to get on the ballot candidates need this many valid signatures from people who are both 1️⃣ in the same district and 2️⃣ registered to vote with the same party affiliation:

β€’ 1,250 for Congress
β€’ 1,000 for NYS Senate
β€’ 500 for NYS Assembly

Help our primary challengers. See a petition? Sign it.

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

Tbh the reactions to the stuffy, win or lose, in every event, has been a source of constant amusement

If you weren't around at the time and never heard what Jackson's oratory was like, this is what it was like.

If you heard it before, you know you want to hear it again.

With every impediment to meaningful climate action it means loss of life, dirtier air and water, more money from your pocket every month for bills, habitat loss, etc. It’s like removing every dr from every hospital and then taking all the meds off the shelves. It’s an axe to our present and future.

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our cityβ€”and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Today while riding the subway, my 8yo took in a sharp breath and exclaimed to herself "Shen Yun looks soooo amazing..!"

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

@realDonaldTrump

After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and Re-Opening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances, I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World. In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!
 
Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before.
 
Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17Β° & sunny!

I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚑️✊🏽⚑️🚲⚑️✊🏽⚑️ #RIPPretti

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
