Forget micromobility, Williamsburg is revolutionizing micro-pseudo-policing

NYC tenants filed hundreds of complaints about forced broker fees since they were banned It's been four months since the city's ban on broker fees went into effect. But data from regulators shows many brokers and landlords are flouting the law.

The groundbreaking legislation banning broker fees has resulted in just three fines paid, @davidfbrand.bsky.social reports gothamist.com/news/nyc-ten...

I’m told by the officer responding to my 311 report that this magnetic (and illegal) “BUSES” license plate cover was “issued” to this MTA bus supervisor to avoid MTA bus cameras.

Why the Senate's 'Most Important Vaccine Study Ever' Was Never Published The fatal flaws that made this study unpublishable

A US senate subcommittee was told this unpublished vaccine study was 'the most important ever.' Henry Ford Health now confirms why it was never published: it failed scientific standards.

Here's what's actually wrong with the study:

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

Donald Trump has a long and ugly history of betraying the people of Puerto Rico.

Recall the infamous image of Donald Trump tossing rolls of paper towels at Puerto Ricans desperate for food, water, and shelter.

I held a rally with residents of Mitchel Houses, calling on HUD to provide emergency funding to restore the partially collapsed building and to re-house displaced families.

We cannot separate the collapse of a public housing building from the collapse of federal funding for public housing.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for pressuring Donald Trump to reverse his disgraceful cuts to New York’s counterterrorism program.

NYC faces an average of one terror plot a month. Defunding counterterrorism is not only dangerous but also deadly.

The NYC first responders who responded rapidly to the building collapse in the BX are heavily funded by the federal homeland security grants that Donald Trump tried defunding.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for pressuring Donald Trump to reverse his assault on NYC’s emergency response.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

How about “Legionnaire’s disease is 100% preventable but we failed to keep New Yorkers from being killed or injured by it.” In our dreams!

The HONEST Act is long overdue. GET IT PASSED!

Ban members of Congress, the president, and the vice president from buying stock.

DHS is delaying millions in already approved North Carolina recovery funds, documents show Communities across the region still need to be reimbursed for about a hundred projects including debris removal, waste water treatment repairs, roads and bridges, damaged buildings and parks, as well ...

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

The overlook walk.

Creating a 100% pedestrian link between the waterfront and Pike Place Market was the best thing Seattle has done this century.

The PA is terminating the AirTrain at the parking garages before the Newark Airport NJT station without any warning at the terminals. They send us downstairs for a shuttle bus. But there’s no bus waiting, so there’s no way to make the 11:05 to NYP.

Fantastic stuff. Disband the Port Authority.

Pedestrianized Pike Place has a real ring to it. 😎 #pppm
