Love this – both the underlying article by @fmanjoo and the elegant summary by @Komanoff. The first step toward realizing this vision is getting #congestionpricing up and running ASAP. Call @SenSchumer and @NYGovCuomo to demand forward movement.
To whoever stole my credit card and used it to order 44 dollars worth of pizza in the Bronx on Saturday: Thank you for supporting local small business!
Looks like we dodged a bullet. NYC's transit riders need Byford and Cuomo working together! NYC Transit chief Andy Byford sent letter of resignation last week amid spat with Gov. Cuomo: sources https://t.co/kI4oEyBPp9
@jonfavs Good point. And we’d also love to hear from the interpreter(s) who Trump told to keep quiet about the contents of his undoubtedly nefarious private conversations with Putin.
It’s wild to me how people crawled over my 60 mins interview with a fine-toothed comb to find any word or reason to claim I’m unfit for the job, yet here Kevin McCarthy (the GOP Leader!) is a bumbling, sloppy, dishonest mess & his mediocrity is accepted as a matter of course.
@AOC Message to the closeted 35: Your contributions to the public good are inconsequential, on a good day. Instead of trying to protect your meaningless re-elections, be true American heroes by endorsing a full impeachment inquiry and trial. Then vote with your newfound consciences.
After the Mueller report, Congress had a duty to begin impeachment. By failing to act, Congress is complicit in Trump’s latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in US elections. Do your constitutional duty and impeach the president.
The preliminary numbers say there are at least 3 million people in today’s #ClimateStrike And that is before counting North and South America!! To be updated... #FridaysForFuture
"It's highly unlikely that we could escape a fifth or sixth event in the coming decade. We used to think that the #GreatBarrierReef was too big to fail, until now." #ClimateEmergency

Today marks the three year anniversary of the first time I protested systemic oppression. I continue to work and stand with the people in our fight for liberation, despite those who are trying to erase the movement! The movement has always lived with the people! ✊🏾

‘I don’t want to hear the question ‘is this president racist?’ anymore. He is.’ — @AOC held nothing back while condemning Trump for using the language of white supremacy
CBP is detaining *American citizens.*
How would you feel trapped in a border camp, where guards wear face masks because the human odor is so strong?
When we allow the rights of some to be violated, the rights of all are not far behind.
Check out this emergency rally being organized by @RidersNY to protest the deteriorating subway system and to demand action from @NYGovCuomo. Tomorrow morning - be there or be square!
❗️EMERGENCY RESPONSE: Riders Rally to #FixTheSubway!

Friday, 7 train lines failed during the peak PM rush. It was a hellish week for riders. We need better transit!
Were you stuck? Delayed? Scared? Just angry?
Join us!
Despicable but utterly unsurprising. It's the way our industrial prison complex works as well. Thank you for calling it out, @AOC! You're helping bring honesty, integrity and candor back to politics and no doubt inspiring a generation of young people to civically engage! Go @AOC!
Reminder: Caging kids is a for-profit enterprise, & the people who profit off camps finance the political campaigns of those who legislate more caging.
If you want to follow the money: GEO Group & CoreCivic are big ones. Look at the lenders & private equity grps they deal with.
