BREAKING NEWS:
Citibike's latest monthly operating report for April reveals that bikes within the Citbike network, a "bike sharing" system, sat unused 96.76% of the time, confirming that this a publicly-subsidized bike warehousing program where capacity is not being managed properly.
This isn’t a functional part of the transportation system — it’s a bold experiment in how little utility you can deliver while consuming massive public resources.
On Saturday, while covering a protest at Delaney Hall for the AP, Angelina Katsanis' camera bag went missing.
Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.

@SageOutcast I definitely saw a lot of janky tractors delivering crane timbers for a big wind energy project in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. But this is NY, so maybe that’s normal.
@jimfarley98@Ford Yep- my fleet vehicle doesn’t have cruise control, but has an interesting 6-spd transaxle. I like it.
(I’m a short-tripper, which would make me a good candidate for an EV, but I don’t know…)
130 years ago today, on June 4, 1896, Henry Ford took the first test drive of his first car, the Quadricycle. It had only two speeds, no reverse, and a doorbell for a horn! Imagine what he must have felt at the time! Incredible to think how far we've come since then. Every @Ford you see today can trace back to that moment. #FordHistory
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna accused CODEPINK of being tied to the Chinese Communist Party and said foreign influence laws should be strengthened.
We said: absolutely. That means taking a serious look at AIPAC and other organizations that spend enormous amounts of money shaping U.S. foreign policy and pushing Congress toward endless wars.
Thank you Anna Paulina Luna
We’re not letting @GovKathyHochul off the hook for her abysmal track record when it comes to workers.
We placed another ad in today’s Daily News to keep sending the message that Hochul’s words don’t match her actions. She may say she backs union members but the moves she makes tell a different story.

@TheStingisBack I believe Close Encounters is an important film, that Spielberg brought us the blockbuster, but I think Scorcese has brought us some incredible, influential art and talent.
These are the four college girls, including one American citizen, the IDF kidnapped in the middle of the night from their homes and threw into their torture dungeons.

Israel has a policy called “administrative detention” that allows them to kidnap Palestinians and imprison them for 6 month increments without any charges whatsoever. These holdings can drag out for years.
Over 3,000 Palestinians were being held on administrative detention in Israeli prisons on October 7. That’s why Hamas took all those Israelis back to Gaza. To exchange for their release.
But do you see how that works? When Israel kidnaps people and holds them for months and years on end, they are simply “prisoners on administrative detention.” But when Hamas does it, they are “hostages.”
