Secure bike parking could be coming to a neighborhood near you. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/04/the…



The Five Boro Bike Tour is like riding through our city with 30,000 friends! Glad to run into these two on the FDR southbound: @ZohranKMamdani & (fellow former comptroller) @LiuNewYork.


@moseskagan @jaymart222 This is going right into SPONY's response to the city's reply brief I'm sure. That said, this is a different kind of circumstance than SPONY (which focuses only on vacant units), so if the sale is actually halted it will bring forth a new lawsuit...a lot going on here.

Nearly 150 residents rallied on Saturday, asking the city to put the brakes on bike lanes being considered for West 72nd Street, citing potential problems for pedestrians, the elderly and residents in general. amny.com/nyc-transit/up…


What I witnessed last night while ICE was present at Wyckoff Hospital in Bushwick:


Ro Khanna @RoKhanna and his family just purchased one of the most expensive houses in Virginia history. At $10 million, this McLean 7 bedroom mansion ranks in the top 10 of the 4 million homes in the state. The prior, small home was demolished to make room for this McMansion.

🚨 NOW: Protestors are attempting to CHAIN themselves to the New York Stock Exchange in NYC They’re blaming others for the fact they’re poor. Maybe they’d be less poor if they were WORKING instead of doing this BS in the middle of the work day.

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

“Last March, a fog took hold in my head and never left. It settled there somewhere between the moment a DHS agent asked me, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ and the moment I realized that I would miss the birth of my first child,” writes Khalil. A year ago, the Trump administration unlawfully arrested Khalil at his home and detained him for 104 days. “I walk free now, only after an army of lawyers sued the administration for targeting me because of my pro-Palestine speech. But the government is relentless in targeting me,” he writes. “So when I walk, I watch my back.” “When strangers approach me and ask, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ — the same words in the same expectant tone the DHS agent used before the handcuffs — I do not know if they want to shake my hand or spit in my face. I do not know whether they will say, ‘Thank you for what you're doing,’ or follow me through midtown aggressively shouting, ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’ Both have happened. At first glance, I can never tell them apart.” In a new essay, Khalil writes about grappling with these two truths: “That I walk through the city afraid and that the city, in small and persistent ways, tells me I am welcome. That I am watched and that I am seen.” Read it in full: nymag.visitlink.me/tM03B5

INSANE. Seattle's Socialist Mayor responds to exodus of wealth from Washington state by saying "BYE" ... then laughing. We're doomed.

The House just voted against banning soda from SNAP. Why should the government fund your soda purchases? If SNAP recipients want to buy sugary drinks, they can do it on their own dime, not on the backs of a taxpayer-funded nutrition program.
