There were 8 murders on the NYC subway last year. There were over 760 million riders. Odds of getting murdered on a subway ride: 1 in 95 million. If you ride 700 times per year, odds are still less than 1 in a million.
Odds of dying in a car accident: 1 in 8,500.
It's wise to be concerned about government attempts to interfere with speech.
Crying wolf for grift and clicks does harm by allowing actual instances of government overreach to be downplayed.
Read Mike's deep dive.

There were 1,542 news stories about “rainbow fentanyl” in the two months before Halloween, most warning that dealers could slip this drug to trick-or-treating kids.
There hasn’t been a single story today confirming this happened anywhere in the U.S.

@MollyJongFast On his first day in office Senator Herschel was asked by a congressional staffer what he was going to do about the new abortion bill. “Just pay it and keep it quiet.”
Bullies are cowards. You do not back down from a bully. You do not “go high, when a bully goes low,” and most especially, when that bully is hell bent on attacking our democracy, you do not look away. You punch that bully in the nose. You FIGHT to defend this democracy.
Are you seriously equating an app where people are torrenting racial slurs at an accelerated clip with the New York Times 🤣
Also fyi, legacy newspapers actually care about verifying newsworthy sources. And they don’t charge their journalists/creators for “priority” placement.
I believe the decision to get an abortion should be between a woman + her doctor. That's it.
There's no need at all for "local political leaders" to be involved 🙄
This Congresswoman from NY posted this as some kind of sick joke, blocked me for calling her out, then deleted the tweet. But the internet is forever, Claudia. I hope voters in NY-24 remember this, too, and vote for Steven Holden. @believein_steve
