Help… does this mean the pcr test produced no results? Or does it mean covid was detected?

How my mother (who has limited mobility) is forced to board the “Select” B46 @NYCTBus today. Curbside boarding & bus lanes are considered best practices, but the bus lanes aren’t active on weekends…and curbside boarding?…🤐🤷🏾‍♂️

This is infuriatingly cowardly. What’s the point of running on a rejection of this kind of racism if you’re just going to capitulate to it.

Looking forward to the top person in NY state government not basing every decision on a deranged quest to one day become president

Republican politicians are telling their constituents that it's ok to drive a car into protestors, and their constituents are listening.

No NYC elected has a stronger record of accomplishment on livable streets than @bradlander over the last decade. Brad also has a vision for the office of comptroller. It's not just the next rung on his career ladder. Vote Brad.

Trying to game this out — the feds condition funding for the trans-Hudson tunnel on NY/NJ governors reaching some sort of grand bargain on rail service integration

This fabricated police story might have become the official account of George Floyd’s death if concerned citizens had not intervened and recorded the police.

Thank you to the B8 and S79 @NYCTBus drivers for getting me to my vax appointment on time, and to Mohamed H at the Hylan Boulevard/Old Town Road CVS for the jab

6/ Now the elephant in the room: NHPP. The INVEST Act would place a very important stricture on this pot of money. Namely, state DOTs would only be able to build new SOV capacity if they show SGR, is more cost-effective than transit or TDM, can afford to maintain it long-term.

An enduring infrastructure policy problem is that governors have enormous sway over what gets built, and their preferences for what to build are almost uniformly terrible.

@NYCMayor I’ve been trying to build secure bike parking stations in partnership with your administration for 3 years now? It’s been a slog. Btw, they’re free to the public, popular with communities and cost city nothing If we can’t even do that, then wym by “bold & innovative?”

I support impeaching President Trump. I'm sure people have reasonable, practical questions about why we should do this when it's difficult to remove him from office any faster than January 20th. I get that. But here's why I decided it must be done immediately. THREAD:

Unity. I have an idea on how to get there. Every elected Republican needs to issue this statement: Joseph Biden won a free and fair election. There was no widespread fraud. That is a lie.
