It begins at the curbs. Many argue "placard abuse" is petty corruption that shouldn’t be enforced & don’t care it costs NYC hundreds of millions. But they should care that losing control of our "law enforcement" invites disorder & crime. #NYPDSoftOnCrime

Today is a climate fork in the road: New York State Assembly will decide whether or not to pass the Build Public Renewables Act - it has passed the Senate now all eyes are on Assembly Speaker @CarlHeastie #BPRA could be a catalyst, NY has led before...

City hall watchers, take note — Don’t take seriously ANY municipal/city goals relating to the #ClimateCrisis that have a long target date of 2050, or even 2040, unless they’re broken that down into specific front-ended targets and actions for every single term of elected council.

If you don’t have the right to control what happens to your own body… If the state can force you to do things with your body that you don’t want to do… Do you have any rights at all?

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying people will die because Roe has been overturned. That is definitely true. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.

Cold truth from ⁦douglas rushkoff⁩ on billionaire preppers: “They need an exit strategy, and may prefer to imagine a future where they are forced to isolate themselves from those they have exploited. Then they won’t have to feel any guilt, shame, or fear of retribution”

Look: This is NYPD data. Any one person getting hurt is one too many. Which is why we have to follow facts. Don’t let police scare you into believing we’re in an unprecedented crisis caused by modest reforms that simply aim to lessen the racist grip of mass incarceration.

This obit really doesn't go far enough in expressing how important his work is, especially as the we all begin to wake up to the reality that our future will be very different from our past. RIP Bruno Latour theguardian.com/world/2022/oct…

Think about what this data tells us. If NY GOP, police, & prosecutors had their way & judges could detain any felony arrest, here’s what we know: 86% of the time, they’d be pretrial caging someone whose felony will ultimately be dismissed. 93% of the time in NYC.

Of all cases that started off as “felonies” in NYC in 2021 that resulted in any kind of conviction, 89% resulted in *at most* jail time for under 1 year. Just 3% of all felony charges in NYC in 2021 resulted in prison time for more than a year.

Think about this: NY bail reform is the most successful criminal legal public policy in history. Hundreds of thousands free. Hundreds of millions in cost savings. Public health & safety w/ no crime causation. That's years worth of data. Multiple nonpartisan reports. GOP is lying:

Sad as hell. No mission to inform, just to get "engagement" x.com/fawfulfan/stat…

Please! Let's take the energy directed toward Elon and redirect it toward those we elected to govern. Link arms and insist on a democratic digital future where we are protected from unaccountable power wielded by billionaires, despots, corporations, or governments. [6/6]

In the city that never sleeps, NYC's curb lane is static, do-nothing space. 11,000+ miles of curbspace not contributing much to the life & work of the city -- but we can fix that.

I like to err on the side of “never attribute to malice what can more easily explained by stupidity” but omg the speed of this descent feels v malice-y #RIPTwitter
