Graffiti artist KEL1ST's masterpieces are graphically bold, with an unlikely color palette unseen in the work of his peers; his work covered entire sides of MTA subway cars from 1977-1987

Embrace the Truth. We as a race create the trash that allows an agency to get away with this as a viable option as the #MTA mascot. #wecandobetter

Meet Trashy, one of our 12 mascot proposals for the MTA. It's a trash monster made out of typical subway detritus, grown in the bowels of the sewers. It is cute, a little naughty & definitely pro-recycling. gothamist.com/arts-entertain…

When we address what is REALLY going on in our communities and introduce outlets and solutions, we all win. When we rattle a saber we just create further divide. #graffiti #graffitispeak #kel1st

Work on the socio-economic conditions that create the disparities that generate this before becoming so righteous, using fear and bullying tactics. It’s a sign that there is still work to be done on inequality, not a reason to get on a high horse. #graffiti #graffitispeak

Survey: 92 percent of Democratic mayors say that cities have some part to play in reducing climate change, "even if it means sacrificing revenues and/or expending financial resources." But only a quarter of the Republican mayors agree. trib.al/dywJbUv

What Democratic and Republican Mayors Don't Agree About

Walking city blocks is my best thinking time. It also keeps me in tune with my surroundings.

Not only does walking serve as the cheapest and easiest means to stay active and healthy, it also makes us happier and boosts our brain capacities. That's why it is important to have quality walking spaces in every city #beactive #citiesforpeople

Only a few child survivors walked out of the children's barracks in Auschwitz alive on the day of liberation. Never Forget. The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. --Elie Wiesel collections.ushmm.org/search…
