this is why republicans need to be eliminated like their nazi and fascisti counterparts of the 1930s. we’re way past the finding common ground era. it got maimed november 2000 and finally killed off during the Obama administration.

my #nyc friends and neighbors: it’s time to crack your knuckles and fight for our right to a government by and for the 99%.

GOP candidates have their strategy for November: ‘Stop Zohran Mamdani.’

Attacking the mayor will literally be on the ballot in some races, as Republicans petition for a new ballot line.

❝ One of the smartest things Mamdani has done is to find quick and practical ways to improve quality of life.… The New York Post doesn’t seem impressed, quoting a Republican saying Mamdani is just doing his job… but the problem is that lots of politicians are not doing what they’re supposed to be doing. ❞

When I look at what Zohran Mamdani is doing as mayor, I’m jealous of New Yorkers

Sure, he’s not perfect, but on libraries, childcare and potholes, he’s getting the job done. Why can’t more politicians give a damn?

Two for the price of one today! A sunny day for a sculpture in New York and a rainy day for a sculpture in Budapest. The New York photo was taken by me on Friday and the Budapest photo was also taken on Friday by my husband, and edited by me. It's very sweet that he's looking for public art to take photos for me 😊

A color photo taken in front of the Hudson Yards building of a giant sized pink and purple metallic teddy bear. It is leaning back on its arms with its feet out so you can see the bottom of the foot. The bottom of the foot has the words "love matters" scratched into it in white. And the rest of the bear is covered with different words that have been scratched into it. I can see the words dream, desire and many others. The bear's eyes and nose are a bright yellow and behind it is a great deal of trees and shrubbery. Right above the trees can be seen a few floors of the Vessel, a sculpture that looks a bit like a beehive with different sets of stairs for people to walk up and see the view. It was a bright sunny day.
Taken on the same day in Budapest where it was very rainy is a photo of a sculpture of a big red apple that has had a bite taken out of it. It is sitting on a gray brick pedestal and has a green leaf sticking out of the stem. It's sitting in the middle of a shopping district. A store or two can be seen in the background with a few people and their umbrellas. Behind the Apple are three table umbrellas but no one is sitting outside because of the rain. The top of the picture shows three large green leaves with raindrops on them. The foreground is mainly gray wet cement and a walkway with some green shrubbery towards the bottom right.

This Saturday, I make my time-traveling baseball team debut. Come to Governors Island, Parade Ground A, 11am-2pm, to watch. And maybe join me.

Context: In 2024, I got to see a vintage base ball game -- hobbyist re-enactors using old-timey bats and baseballs, wearing period uniforms, and playing baseball with the 1864 rules. (Including: Catching the ball on a bounce is an out.) nymutuals.com/rules-and-differ…

A pitcher, standing on a patch of dirt, pitches underhand to a batter near a catcher. In the background is a fielder standing on a grassy field, then many lush trees beyond. All the people are in old-timey clothes and hats; the pitcher's shirt has a big H on it. Photo from https://hobokennine.jimdofree.com/2026-photos-videos/

nobody in this article about how #nyc is getting screwed by #FIFA mentioned the one reason people aren't coming to #WorldCup2026 : the year and a half #Trump has spent broadcasting his #ICE anti-immigrant revenge porn.

no sports event is worth the risk of ending in a #MAGA concentration camp.

but more importantly, the article reveals how USA politicians can’t fathom a #BDSUSA movement

Dreams of a World Cup Bonanza Turn Dark on Empty Hotel Rooms, High Transit Costs

FIFA predicted the New York area would take in $3 billion from the World Cup. But some official estimates say the city could lose money on the world’s biggest sporting event.

Despite a long-standing court order, the NYPD didn’t audit thousands of stops made by its Community Response Team, which has a history of unconstitutional policing and has drawn hundreds of civilian complaints.

ProPublica previously found the unit often sidestepped oversight.

❝ For the first time, New York City has a mayor who has made riding a bike a seemingly genuine part of his political identity. On the campaign trail, the 34-year-old democratic socialist famously corrected a heckler who called him a communist by grabbing a Citi Bike and saying, “It’s pronounced cyclist.” ❞

i love that Mamdani is an unapologetic smartass… on a bike.

Happy birthday to me! Here’s a favorite bit of graffiti that I walk past in my neighborhood.

Wishing for more love in the world.

Low-angle photo looking up at the red brick facade of a building. A vertical section protrudes slightly and is painted a lighter color than the warm red of the rest of the facade. On this is displayed a graffiti image of an upturned face with eyes closed, framed by black swirls and squiggles suggesting hair, and with the word LOVE underneath. To the left is a message in white spraypaint: FUCK WITH LOVE. Another bit of graffiti can be partially seen at right, in outlines of black, yellow, and white. Taken on Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

I was up late last night toying with these windows so I would be ready for today 😊
#Photography #NYC #AltText #StreetPhotography

A color photo taken on a vertical angle of the windows of three different buildings. The the upper left is a flat gray brick building with a few windows and then sticking out at an angle is a set of rectangular Bay Windows that would give those apartments nice rounded views. On the top of those two bay windows is a balcony with a tree sticking out with red leaves. Next to that is a thin dark building with four square windows going down vertically that look light pink from the sun. Going down vertically the building next to that has a large dark balustrade on the top and is made of orange/yellow bricks in the shape of Arches with dark windows inside the arches. Next to it can be seen the sliver of a building with something red sitting on top in the distance. The upper right hand corner is light blue sky with wispy pink clouds. The triangle in the bottom left-hand corner is the top of a white brick balcony that has dark green leaves and branches with purple leaves overhanging it.

There is no complaining about the weather today! Taken this morning at Bryant Park ☀️
#Photography #NYC #AltText #StreetPhotography
A color photo of a small carousel in Bryant Park. The bottom left hand corner shows some of the pavement and then there is a black rod iron fence around a big square piece of greenery. In the middle of that is an old fashioned carousel. It has a blue and white striped top with a lot of gold ornamentation around the edges. You can see people in the shadows standing and holding their young toddlers on the carousel horses. In the background is a large green tree on the left and several big office towers behind everything in different shades of blue. It shows a beautiful spring morning.

Dolphins and even humpback whales have occasionally been sighted in the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, though I haven’t been fortunate enough to see them. Here are some of the river’s more regular visitors.

Highbridge, the Bronx - River Avenue Skate Park 🚇🍃🛹

#NYC #Art #Photography

A color, wide-angle photograph in portrait orientation that captures a concrete ledge covered in vibrant street art at a skate park in the Bronx, New York. The primary focus is a cluster of approximately thirteen figures spray-painted in a deep rust-red and yellow hue onto the side of a weathered grey concrete wall. Each figure is a simple, rounded oblong shape, yet they are individually characterized by unique, expressive facial features. Some display wide-eyed shock, others look grumpy or sleepy, one has "X" marks for eyes with its tongue sticking out, and another features a single cyclopean eye. To the far left, a speech bubble contains the hand-lettered words "ODD BALL!" in the same red paint. The concrete itself shows signs of age with mottled textures and small cracks, adding a gritty, urban feel to the composition. The background and foreground are softly blurred, creating a shallow depth of field that emphasizes the central red figures. In the background, larger, more complex graffiti tags in shades of emerald green, bright blue, and white cover distant walls, though their details are out of focus. On the right edge of the main concrete block, a small black-and-white sticker is visible with the words "CLEARLY FADED". The lighting is bright and even on an overcast morning that allows the rich red tones of the figures to stand out against the cooler greys and blues of the park.
