Grateful to ride with @bikeaction.org tonight after yet another Philadelphia cyclist was murdered this week. Our safety is just worth more than your convenience.

The judge ordered the city to stop taking parking spaces to create bike-friendly loading zones -- so trucks will then either stop traffic, or stop in the bike lane (MUCH more likely)

The judge's quote at the end is killing me. Of course this would help prevent trucks & cars from stopping in bike lanes! The residents' interests have been adversely affected?! How about my interest of me & my husband coming home alive?

Judge orders Philly to stop taking parking spaces on Pine and Spruce Streets for bike-friendly loading zones The “neighborhood loading zones” were intended to give residents, delivery trucks, and contractors a place to stop without parking in a bike lane, which is now prohibited.

I am *livid* People who live on Spruce & Pine live in the middle of our country’s 6th biggest city! Cyclists are asking for 2 bike lanes total east & west so that we are not murdered. Why are your cars more important than our lives? www.inquirer.com/news/philade... @bikeaction.org @bcgp.bsky.social

These are concentration camps.

“Ask for what actually fixes the problem — and then go out there and fight for it.”

On Monday, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social came to NYC to talk about universal childcare, and why we shouldn’t listen to billionaires who say making life affordable for working families isn't possible.

Well I was just biking in the Spruce St bike lane and in front of me I see a city parking enforcement employee ticketing cars parked in the bike lane! I declared my love for this man! (Sorry husband @bennydoc.bsky.social) More of this please, Philly!!!!!

Just a reminder that literally nothing can happen - anonymous comments made on Facebook! - and you can write a big negative story about a politician if you don't like them and have it blasted across social media with a negative photo choice

unironically feelin like sam telling frodo “there is some good in this world…and it’s worth fighting for” reading this

No words for how vile and horrifying this is

reminder of a really understated consequence of the megabill:

Pennsylvanians won't forget this, Bresnahan.

Again this from #Andor seems relevant with all the falsehoods about the reconciliation bill & #Medicaid cuts:

“The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous.” -Mon Mothma

Trump and Miller are intent on building an unaccountable domestic secret police force that would be the world's third-biggest security force by funding levels, after the US and China's *militaries*.

That kind of funding dwarfs its stated purpose, which tells you what its real purpose will be.

The Senate just passed the largest cut to low-income programs in a single law in history. It would rip health insurance from more than 10 million people & take food assistance away from millions of households, including families w/ kids.

It now goes to the House where we have a chance to defeat it.

Probably not as agonizing as the children who are going to go to sleep famished because you took food out of their mouths by cutting SNAP.

Byrd Rule Violations Continue to Mount on the Republicans’ “One Big, Beautiful Bill” | U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget The Official U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget

Seventh set of Byrd droppings is out, and WOW!

We won on trans care in Medicaid, provider taxes, FMAP, immigrants in Medicaid, and other issues.

These victories are amazing for the people they help - and cost Rs more than $250 billion of their savings by rough calculations, largely not curable.

Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn tweets: Zohran Mamdani campaigned on making our city more affordable, a message that resonated with voters, who decisively chose him tonight. I support Mamdani in the general election. To everyone who had reservations, I ask you to put them aside in this moment and come together... STATEMENT: PARTY CHAIR BICHOTTE HERMELYN ON ZOHRAN MAMDANI'S VICTORY IN THE NYC DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Zohran Mamdani campaigned on making our city more affordable. The people have spoken and as the clear winner of the Democratic primary, I support Mamdani in the general election. To everyone who had reservations, I ask you to put them aside in this moment and come together for the future of our city and our party. Mamdani has shown he is committed to representing all Democrats from every neighborhood and borough, as evidenced by his overwhelming victory in Brooklyn and across the city. Brooklyn stands firmly behind Zohran Mamdani as we head into November. Let's unite as Democrats for a brighter future for our city.

Brooklyn Democratic Party boss Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, a crucial Eric Adams supporter who notably chose to endorse Cuomo in the primary, now says she'll support Mamdani in the general.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

BACK TO THE BURBS CUOMO

YAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO ZOHRAN!!!!!!!!!! In the past 24 hours we have lost power and AC separately in 100+ degree heat & I broke my foot among other unfortunate things and I would break my other foot for ZOHRAN❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!!

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza.

Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo

First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR.

Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

Former critics who once demanded Cuomo resign are now endorsing him A POLITICO review of Cuomo’s touted endorsers found that few of them stood by him in 2021.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Please hold your trans kids close today (and everyday). Remind them that they are fiercely loved, needed, and that we will keep fighting for a world that allows them to be the best version of themselves.
