Hey, here's my new video, thanks to Umpteen Productions. What do you think? youtube.com/watch?v=PogGdmWr…
Time to unsubscribe from the Washington Post. "Free markets" and "personal liberty" are not underserved in the media by any means!

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
.@ericadamsfornyc @NYCEDC @ebottcher @CB2_Manhattan: the rushed plan for a 600-ft.-tall super-luxury tower in the Meatpacking District is outrageous + unacceptable! Halt the process + rethink the plan.

So put your shoulder to an oar! Help us power the boat of civilization through the rapids of climate change. All of humanity shares the same boat, and you have the opportunity to make your own unique and valuable contribution to the effort (try the @KHayhoe suggestions!) 25/25
Be still, my heart.

What a fantastic makeover and addition to the neighborhood.
Today, we celebrate #ADA34. Here at Parks, we strive to make our spaces fun and accessible for every New Yorker, like here at Dyckman Rest, a newly reconstructed and now universally accessible playground in Highbridge Park. Come enjoy!

This year is not about seeking mandates for specific policies.
It's about saving rule of law, democratic norms, and independent institutions — amplifying transparency, restoring checks & balances, fighting extremism in all forms.
Forget that to our nation's peril.

Today I'm joined by economics journalist @EdConwaySky to focus on the six essential resources that underpin our modern economies – sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium - and the environmental and human costs of extracting them.

This story is Big Real Estate / @REBNY propaganda. For decades, city administrations have helped developers reduce the number of subsidized rentals in expensive neighborhoods, because that is where they can charge the highest rents or sales prices. 1/

A thoughtful reflection on the life of Flaco and the pervasive role of humans in it, even after his release, by @barry.

wondering why @SofiQuaglia & other writers keep pointing the finger at "urban development" as gobbling up habitat without specifying sprawling suburban type development, as opposed to dense compact cities, which take up less land? sierraclub.org/sierra/big-pa…
