👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @voteshekar.bsky.social and @votejgr.bsky.social are champions of parks and open space in Queens! So great to partner with them today to bring @ny4p.bsky.social Daffodil Project & Pollinator Day to @34_ave Open Street for the first time! @jimrockaway.bsky.social
What a biker actually hitting a pedestrian looks like
Laughing out loud. Of all of NY's transport operators to adopt through running, NYC Ferry would not have been the first one I'd have expected. www.ferry.nyc/blog/changes...
Combining the Soundview and Rockaway routes—both of which are tourist heavy and struggle to operate on time—will be fun!
I would say CM Paladino should be speedily removed over this, but @council.nyc.gov did literally nothing after the first three instances of her doing shit, including implicitly endorsing killing DSA members, so outrageously offensive any other sane city council would kick her out in a nanosecond.
Contact Speaker Adrienne Adams and tell her to remove Vickie Paladino from the New York City Council:
212-482-6731
Adrienne Adams could censure Vickie Paladino at any time and has certainly had multiple reasons to do so. And yet...
Where is anyone getting this idea that he can't and he won't? We have masked secret police disappearing people right now. There's no can't or won't at this point. There's only what we as a society are willing to stand up and stop.
Nassau County failing to surprise once again
❤️ an incoming Mayor emphasizing the city’s power to improve & redesign streets. No new legislation, Council approval etc needed!
The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?
There is little outrage when drivers strike and kill people who are trying to cross the street. Our streets are designed to ferry as many vehicles as possible as fast as possible with no regard for pedestrians. How sad for these victims’ families. The devastation.. the loss.
Our Afternoon on the Avenue series runs Monday thru Friday from 4pm to 8pm. We have fun activities for all ages.
It’s free & open to all. Join us!

We had fun today while it lasted! We had our new misting station set up. We got some games in, some hula, our English class and some pool time before Mother Nature sent everyone scattering!
Happy 4th!
We will be back Saturday with Zumba, our bike ride, Cumbia, gardening & bordado ecuatoriano.
Secret paramilitary police do not accumulate $170B in funding, extrajudicial power, and patrons proudly committed to brutality in order to not use that funding, power, protection, and brutality
The next decade will be bloody, and when I’m right I won’t be happy
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

Helluva job, @govmurphy.bsky.social
"2024 was NJ’s deadliest year for pedestrians in 30 years, with more than 230 killed walking and 23 while biking"
A neighbor is handing over a clothing donation in a fresh direct bag to a volunteer wearing a 34 Ave Open Streets Coalition orange vest.
A female volunteer in the foreground is seen inspecting and folding a women’s pale lilac blouse above a table of folded clothing.
Thanks as always to our generous neighbors for bringing clean & gently used clothing each Monday. And thank you to our volunteers who inspect, sort & redistribute it.
