Public transportation is not a jobs program. Public transportation is not a homeless shelter. Public transportation is public transportation. Why is it so hard to understand that?

A bill passed by the NYS Legislature requiring two-person crews for all subway trains would not only leave NY in the past—no other major transit system requires this—it would also cause immediate service cuts wherever trains operate with one person now, including on the G and M.

Joe Biden is DEAD and has been replaced by ChatGPT

The Republican budget bill is not only reckless — it’s cruel. It slashes Medicaid and takes away health care from millions of Americans. It closes rural hospitals and cuts food assistance for our veterans and seniors. It jacks up energy bills. And it could trigger deep cuts to…

I just don’t understand how text could become self-aware… on the other hand, I don’t understand how meat could either. Truly my ignorance is staggering

If even AOC is being targeted by these Gaza protestors, then it’s clear that there is no appeasing them and they should be ignored. These are deranged people.

NOW: "You're a war criminal!" - Pro-Palestine Heckler shouts as AOC holds Town Hall in Jackson Heights Queens, NYC.



Joe Biden was a phenomenal president…he absolutely met the moment. However, he forever tarnished his legacy by seeking a second term after clearly campaigning in 2020 as a “return-to-normalcy” candidate.

This is one of the incredibly important, lasting legacies of Joe Biden's significant policy wins



I’ve started reading the Atlantic after the *incident*…and has it always been this good? I feel like I have been missing out my whole life. 😭

“We reject your pragmatic, feasible policies that would improve the conditions of millions. Instead, we demand virtue-signaling policies that would immediately backfire and fail to achieve their intended effect!” give me a break

Quick reminder that “public spaces, esp mass transit, should be crap and unpleasant because they’re only used by poor people” is not actually a progressive take. Utterly corrosive.

i am on my knees begging people to distinguish "sketchy" from "actually dangerous to me" the hyperbolic victimhood from privileged people in SF is exhausting.

The weird thing about America’s version of left wing socialism is a core tenet that someone else pays for it all. It’s not about working together and all pitching for collective betterment, it’s about fleecing a few. This is a problem now that the left is mostly middle and…

jesus what has happened to the left that “tax evasion” is considered a radical left wing position

These are problems of anti-social behavior Whether it's discarding food containers & smoking on public transit or not picking up feces & ignoring leashing leash rules in parks ... we need to curb the rule breaking and justifications "it's not hurting anyone" or "nobody cares"

This is a story about Philadelphia, but it's really a story about every city, and the entitled dog owners who have taken them over. @almondmilkman with a dispatch from canine hell. phillymag.com/news/2024/11/0…

Yo I am so annoyed right now! I was trying to make a citywide map of school board election results for CTU/Charter endorsed candidates and was getting weird results. Turns out the DUMB-DUMBS who drew these boundaries decided it'd be fine to SPLIT voting precincts. Why??

There's also a racial hierarchy within US public sector work, both within and across agencies, that is so obvious and overwhelming that it would lead to endless lawsuits if replicated in a major private sector firm.

i feel like we need to relearn as a society how to build community with people with whom we share *most* but not all of our values, political perspectives and/or friend groups way too many folks are negatively polarized against folks they should be working in solidarity with

Democrats overperformed in Colorado compared to the USA b/c Polis & CO Dems stay ruthlessly on message that the goal is to "save people money" Expanding healthcare, more housing, more transit, better schools, childcare, etc., all packaged as "saving people money" TAKE NOTES
