It's a beautiful day in the West Village to remind New Yorkers that abortion is on the ballot. Vote "YES" on Prop 1 to enshrine the right to abortion in our state constitution and make sure it's always protected in New York. It's your body, and it should always be your choice.

@NYCComptroller @MTA And when you have a governor who couldn’t care less

“This is what takes place when you underinvest in an essential infrastructure system that is 100 years old and getting older all the time.” - @MTA Chair Janno Lieber ⬇️

Boggles mind admin claiming to rep people of color and working class would restore discredited policy favoring affluent white students. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2024/0…

The speed at which we are normalizing police arrests of students for nonviolent protest is deeply alarming:

Can you imagine the strength of Evan’s spirit?! He has been wrongfully jailed in a 6’x6’ cell in a Russian prison for more than a year. And here he is in a cage in a courtroom. He needs to come home NOW. We demand his release. #istandwithevan #FreeEvan

@RossBarkan Appalling and sad proof of why NYPD shouldn’t ever be sole responders in mental health emergencies

A mentally ill teenager was killed by the NYPD in his own home, as he brandished nothing more than a pair of scissors. It's possible cops shot him while his mother held him. Yet his death hasn't provoked mass outrage. It's very curious. rosselliotbarkan.com/p/black-lives-…

Sympathy to Rozario family. From sad experience I know NYPD treats mental health calls as dangerous crimes and acts accordingly. This must change. rosselliotbarkan.com/p/black-lives-…

I am out of patience. People who are against containerization, against outdoor dining, against bike lanes, because they think we need more *free private parking on streets* is selfish, an idiot, or both. Enough listening to those people.

@powellAtlantic Or as a friend of mine would say, reward those who were right

Courage works better in real time

@NYCTSubway Switch? Door? Emergency brake. You can’t even lie well

Q trains are running with delays in both directions while we address a switch problem near Prospect Park.

Northbound Q trains are delayed while we address a switch problem near Prospect Park.

@NYCTSubway This is the 3rd story you’ve given us. The conductor on my train had blamed signal problems at times; an emergency brake at others. Whatever your BS excuse, it’s unacceptable

@SusanBEdelman Way to go, Ellen

Nothing remote about Ellen McHugh, an NYC advocate for children with special needs: "I took my grandkids, 7 and 4, out in the snow this morning.  We are gonna have a second breakfast, just like Winnie the Pooh, then get out a sled and walk over to our local park and slide down the same small hill as their father did lo those many years ago.  It'll be more fun now since I can bring them back to their parents, wet, hungry and ready for an afternoon nap ( for me)."

Amazing that so far Suozzi hasn’t mentioned abortion, probably the best issue for Dems

@NateSilver538 So the @nytimes has now decided Hillary’s emails weren’t important. Only 8 years too late

Biden's age is not at all comparable to Hillary's emails. It is a much more important issue. He wants to be president until he is 86 years old! Voters ratioanally think it's important. I criticized #ButHerEmails early and often. This story is not the same. natesilver.net/p/not-everythi…

It's definitely one of the more fortuitous accidents of timing I've had as a writer. On Tuesday, I wrote a piece saying Democrats use "But Her Emails" to deflect legitimate criticism. And that's exactly what they've done since the special council report on Thursday...

@powellAtlantic Saying left lionizingHouthis is like saying mainstream Dems lionize genocide.

The Houthis this week sentenced 13 people to death by stoning. Their offense? They are gay. Perhaps not a great choice for the Left to lionize ?

Has @nytimes done away with its weekend arts picks?

@dahvnyc Thought all the crooks had getaway cars

.@nytimes (rightly) ridicules MAGA conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift/Travis Kielce. But why is that any different/worse than Old Gray Lady herself running 5,000 words parsing Swifts’s lyrics for clues about her sexuality.
