What if NYC street vendor carts ran on clean electric power instead of gas generators? We’re partnering with @CPFNYC to help make it happen.

1 hour of generator use = the same CO as driving 234 miles.

📢 Companies: proposals due this Monday, March 16!

New York City made progress on public safety in 2025. Shootings and murders fell to historic lows, and most major crime categories declined compared to the year prior.

But it is not good news across the board. Via @VitalCityNYC

Mayor Zohran Mamdani weighed in on NY1's investigative series on Taser use at the NYPD earlier this week, saying "any death deserves a thorough investigation."

The reporting uncovered the death of Adrian Cevallos, who was shot with a Taser in front of his home in 2024 during a schizophrenic episode. New York state Attorney General Letitia James is now investigating Cevallos' death.

Mamdani also said he is examining whether Tasers should be used in mental health calls.

Banks pay you 0.4% interest on your deposits, then take your money & put it at the Fed, which pays them 5% interest on your money.

Federal law bars you from cutting out the middleman & depositing your money at the Fed to get the 5% rate the Fed pays banks.

This is oligarchy.
