If you are able, add extra time and take the bus the whole goddamn way. #swipeitforward

The hood gets to breathe better while Eagle Teams lie in wait to attack young Black kids going to school and the poverty class. Thanks! #swipeitforward
Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film. When it comes to climate change, we're using every tool at our disposal — including everyday infrastructure — to keep New Yorkers safe.

The representative here is too short tempered to be just coming back from a break.

The elder is saying it took her 90 minutes to get here and she's 78 years old.

Present tense, baby saVING!!! We still do it everyday. And with this OMNY CORRUPTION it's needed even more.

@swipeitforward turned subway stations into sites of mutual aid, with residents swiping through riders who can’t afford the fare. The campaign saved hundreds of New Yorkers from potential arrest.

Some people claim that supporting a “pragmatic” two-state solution isn’t Zionism. But let’s be clear: a two-state solution is, by definition, a Zionist position. Even if you justify it for “practicality,” you’re still upholding Zionism. Here’s why: 🧵

For those living under a rock.... News Flash: They ain't the only KuKluxKommies running around New York front loading Black people.
Be advised that a front group for a cult, which has been denounced by abortion rights groups, is attempting to recruit again. They’re akin to an MLM, exploit people’s good intentions for free labor, advertising, & money. They’re also incompetent, unsafe protest organizers. 1/

We also hearing if you tap your card with insufficient funds multiple times, switch cards to access the system, then later have funds on the first card, people are getting charged for all the failed taps later. Starve these mfs. #ScamAlert #fuckyothreedollars

The high-level of violent crime in the Ville: NYPD shot three people at Sutter Station on September 15th Derrell Mickells next court date is 12/18. BE THERE!!! #swipeitforward – at Brooklyn, NY
We have heard directly from New Yorkers in Brownsville and Ocean Hill about public safety and quality-of-life concerns. 'Every Block Counts' is how our administration is delivering safer neighborhoods for ALL of our city’s families through an whole-of-government approach: bkreader.com/policy-governme…

Fake news!!! Black people: This is why you attend the trial and hear for yourself #swipeitforward – at Brooklyn, NY
Replying to @TheBlackChannel
The man was screaming he was going to kill someone. The other witnesses were terrified. Penny restrained him. The man was alive when the cops got there. He was having difficulties breathing. The cops did nothing. They didn’t start rescue breathing because the man’s mouth stunk. Bottom line, the other people on that subway car were afraid for their lives. Penny stepped in. If it had been a white guy, nothing would have happened to Penny. Just because you’re black doesn’t make you innocent.

And look where we are now: Vigilantes and rabid 🐷 killing Black people in the subway under Mr. Swagger B. Corrupt #EricAdamsGottaGo #swipeitforward #fuckyo290 #freetransportation #jordanneely – at Brooklyn, NY
Mayor Eric Adams of New York just announced he’s going to remove “mentally ill” people off the streets and even involuntarily hospitalize them. We all know he’s referring to the poor and homeless.
