@mattyglesias @firasd For Ackman, it wasn’t only about Israel, per se. The Campuses exploded and exposed a hypocrisy around speech, diversity, and academic freedom that many who don’t follow these issues had been previously unaware of.

@DaltonHarris99 @BryanRAnderson No thanks I’ll just live in a state that isn’t trying its best to become a third world shit hole that’s abandoned the fundamental principles and purpose of the nation
English

@james_dedir @BryanRAnderson You can always move out of the US like everyone else

@Roberto31789648 @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Wow there’s definitely never been congestion before. Losing some entire parking spots in exchange from getting tons of people around surely changes everything
English

@james_dedir @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Yeah, bike lane taking two spaces.
English

All too common reaction from a NY driver when you point out there's no parking or driving in a 'protected' #BikeNYC lane (this was at 2nd Ave & 67th Street, 👋 @JulieMenin). But sure, cyclists are the real scofflaws, right? 🤦

@Rheiji1 @jimbobimbobjoe @fawfulfan They’re not the same. Some homeowners own condos/multi-family units. Some homeowners aren’t interested in selling and moving at any realistic price, so are different from those open to selling for development.
English

@james_dedir @jimbobimbobjoe @fawfulfan Uh landowners and homeowners are on the same side (because they're the same thing). It's (some) developers (others benefit from keeping out the competition) and renters pushing for change, mostly.

@Larry132681801 @BelieverEuro @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct So which is it, the poor misbegotten working class car drivers are being oppressed by rich bike bros, or the elite ubermensch drivers are being annoyed by leeching poors on bikes
English

@Roberto31789648 @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Lol “create” congestion in New York
English

@Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Objetive #1: Fill the whole damn city streets with bike lanes. Objective #2: Create congestion and then complain when a car on the street try to find space.

@LeVeauNY @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Does she have a badge or can she follow the laws like everyone else and stop whining
English

@Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Until you have a badge, ride your bike and stop preaching to people trying to work.
English

@ihateyouall354 @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct No she’s not

@Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct She’s right ,dude is being a weirdo
English

@BelieverEuro @Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct People who drive cars are richer than people who don’t drive cars, genius
English

@Reasmus2 @JulieMenin @NYC_DOT @bikenewyork @StreetsPAC @StreetsblogNYC @MBPMarkLevine @TransAlt @NYPD19Pct Fuck up the city, and then fuck it up even more hy aggravating the working class while you bike to your brunch spot for avocado toast. Fuck you and the bike you rode on, ya dickwad.
English

@DaltonHarris99 @BryanRAnderson Oh wow a vague similarity to something 40 years ago
English

@BryanRAnderson Oh no!
A Democrat house and Senate in 80's changed the EXACT same law stripping power from then NC Republican Governor. Now we care about double standards. I don't trust Democrats abilities to be beholden to their voters much less laws.
English

@RavenCarolina19 @BryanRAnderson Kamala received how many primary votes?
English

@BigTrumpWins @CA_Commissioner No democrats have ever done anything remotely like this you moron
English

@CA_Commissioner This is the kind of thing Dems always do when they lose power. It’s about time Republicans grow a set.
English

@thefurlinator @LittleMammith I think a country that feels poor and desperate is going to be a lot more selfish and unwilling to contribute to a common good, which benefits Republicans
English

@LittleMammith I don’t agree that it structurally benefits Republicans, I think it benefits whoever the opposition is. And Bernie praised Biden constantly! He was legit one of Biden’s strongest backers and didn’t want him to drop out even (which I think he was wrong about in the end)
English

Are we supposed to feel bad about caring whether or not the things we say are true? Does it make me a "smug liberal" because I don't think politicians should lie? Is that really where we're going with this?
Ben Aybar 🦑🧲@BenAybar
The reason some people like Bernie and don't like liberals simultaneously can be perfectly encapsulated in the freakout some people are having about the "60% living paycheck to paycheck" stat Bernie says stuff people feel like is true, smug liberals attack him for it
English

@james_dedir @bdquinn Yes it is. I didn't make the rules.
English

This is going to be the most incompetent and corrupt administration we've ever seen. By a wide margin.
