Median income of NYC car owners: $90K
Median income of non-car owners: $45K

The idea that bikers and pedestrians are the “privileged few” is one of the most absurd right-wing myths out there.

Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper. 

DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies. 

We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.

@BarackObama @StevieWonder @HGMedia @questlove I am "overjoyed". Thanks so much!

Finally, the Biden administration is taking a stand against car bloat.

@NHTSAgov has proposed banning SUV & pickup hood designs that are especially likely to cause head injuries.

In @FastCompany, I explained why this could be a watershed moment. 🧵

@CoolBikeArt1 Double date, they look great! 💕

Today we’re launching a live crash tracker of vehicle related injuries in NYC’s congestion pricing zone enabled by @kathyhochul’s abhorrent decision to delay the program indefinitely.

Hochul's decision is an attack on NYC's most vulnerable residents.

The massive black market Mexican seller Constru-Bikes, despite our best efforts, is selling bikes again. Facebook truly has nobody home, they simply don't care about bad actors fencing stolen goods on their platform.

Happy birthday Hansel.

@jjwalsh @jjwalsh Thanks for highlighting unique separated cycling lanes vs the norm of... cycling on the sidewalk (?) in Japan...

@sterngrovefest @teganandsara Your website crashed from the split second tickets became available, and then constantly again for minutes later - it's still locked up as of this post! I don't think @eventbrite's back end or front end is up to the demand of (free) ticket buyers, or BOTS trying at the same time
