“I’m delighted to think that I’m not going to have to take my life into my hands when I go to the optometrist on 31st Street,” Margaret Oppenheimer, who described herself as a 31-year Astoria resident and “year-round” cyclist, told board members.

It makes no sense that Speaker Heastie may be trying to kill a bill that would finally slow down New York's repeat reckless drivers. But according to yesterday’s reporting in @hellgatenyc.com, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Call Speaker Heastie now and tell him to put Stop Super Speeders in the state budget: 518-455-3791
Miriam Yarimi’s Audi had accumulated more than 90 tickets, with 18 school-zone speeding tickets in 2024 alone.
Medical episode or not — if the Stop Super Speeders bill were already passed, Yarimi's car would have had Intelligent Speed Assistance, and lives could have been saved.
Yesterday, members of Families for Safe Streets went up to Albany to push for the passage of Stop Super Speeders.
Today, you can help by calling Assembly Speaker Heastie:
As soon as we learned this was being built by the creators of Dark Sky, it was like 💡 ahh no wonder this is such an elegant blend of data and design.
The developers of Dark Sky does have a new weather app out. Haven’t had time to dive into the features though.

If you also cried when Apple bought Dark Sky only to demolish it, you will be very happy to know that the developers are back with a new weather app called Acme!

Zohran Mamdani standing with his heart on his chest while giving his victory address on November 4, 2025 in Brooklyn, New York.
Zohran Mamdani won a historic victory yesterday in New York City's mayoral election, and 17 of our 18 endorsees won their races up and down the ballot, proving once again that safer streets and better public transit aren't just good policy – they're good politics! www.streetspac.org/2025_general...
I've been interested in New York City political history since long before I lived there, and always dreamed I would live to see another mayor like John Lindsay, who went to Harlem after MLK was killed and was often seen on on the streets, suit jacket over his shoulder, talking to people.

This vehicle already has 6 bus camera violations so the fine is $250 each violation. Driver even managed three violations on the same day.

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.

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.
