📅 It’s Tax Day in New York — and the numbers don’t lie.
A new report from @cssnyorg.bsky.social & @pandpinst.bsky.social shows what we’ve known for too long: NYC’s property tax system punishes renters, working families, & communities of color, while rewarding luxury homeowners & speculators. (1/4)

I love that from the age of 12 thought today (& as long as he keeps making content), @hankgreen.bsky.social has been a trusted source of not only information, but a North Star of critical thinking.
I’ve had “always learning” in my bio for a while and I think he inspired that. Thanks Hank!

I am firmly anti oligarchy
Who gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund?
-Each of the 5 biggest tech firms
-The CEOs of Uber & OpenAI
-Auto giants Toyota, Ford, & GM
-Drugmaker behemoth Pfizer
Corporate America is desperate to kiss the ring.
There's nothing they won’t do for a tax break.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

It was great to rally today with advocates in support of the Broadway open street pilot (35th to 36th St)! We're pushing for a Christmas gift for midtown, to make this program permanent and continue transforming NYC's streets! 🎅🏻 #OpenStreets #NYC (1/3)

It is wild that Penn DOT and HNTB did not consider cut and cover or modular construction! It’s almost like we haven’t presented for years on how PA can lead the nation on this.
Gov Shapiro could lead the nation on affordable rapid transit expansion.

Is nyc rly gonna be outdone by Denver?
DENVER LEGALIZES ADUs CITYWIDE!!
You can now officially build an ADU in every neighborhood in Denver! While ADU’s aren’t going to solve the housing crisis, they are great for multi-generational homes, students, and even co-parenting. Huge win for Denver YIMBYs!!! 🏗️🏘️
