🧵 I am hereby retiring my use of the word ‘low-income’ and replacing it with the more accurate ‘underpaid.’ People are not low-income, they are underpaid workers. 1/x

I am now going to start asking people who ask me if I stop at stop signs as a cyclist if they think my 65 pound e-bike that can only reach 20 mph when I’m pedaling is equivalent to someone’s 3500+ pound vehicle that can go 0 to 60 mph in seconds

The Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is running without delays while motor vehicle traffic has been brought to a standstill due to a crash. The traffic is so bad that one family decided to end their taxi ride and walk off the bridge!

New Jersey residents use the @MTA and will suffer if we can't fund state of good repair and capital upgrades. Only 1.6% percent of commuters from adjacent NJ districts drive to lower Manhattan—and they're way wealthier on average. nyc.streetsblog.org/2021/10/…

The fact that the liberal media gives zero coverage to the horrifically cruel blockade that the US has imposed on Cuba for decades, really betrays how devoted they are to maintaining the supremacy of capitalism.

I’m 38, have a masters, have a defined career, but one time I lost the Russian roulette of needing medical care while my insurance wasn’t active and now I have the deeply embarrassing potential of needing to ask for help to pay for it. Hard not to feel disappointed in yourself.

Ban cars.
Unclear how this possibly happened, but an SUV tore through the fencing and cement barrier and plummeted onto the LIRR train tracks at Atlantic and Vanderbilt avenues

I am a REAL MAN and that means I believe in TWO GENDERS and that they classify NOUNS and are used to determine ADJECTIVAL DECLENSIONS and don’t even get me started on GRAMMATICAL CASES.
