I thought this was Tim Walz arm wrestling with Bari Weiss.

I’d say Judge Goodstein’s recent restraining order against the release of South Carolina voter files to the DOJ is relevant to this story. www.wrdw.com/2025/10/02/j...

The U.S. Department of Justice had been pushing for South Carolina's voter registration list, which includes personal data, like the last four digits of Social Security and driver's license numbers, according to a letter from the DOJ.
Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein issued a temporary restraining order to halt the process on Sept. 2, saying that "there is a likelihood that immediate and irreparable damage will result to Plaintiff if her personal information data is released in violation of her right to privacy.

The large number of people (+1500) exiting onto a five foot wide sidewalk is somehow completely ignored as a problem.

Not sure what happened but always proud of #FDNY 6th Ave at West 4th. Definitive burning smell.

FDNY truck putting out fires within contents of waste truck, that has been pulled out across 6th Ave.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

And these are the same people scared to death to ride a subway.

Little cars, driving slowly; full of people who aren't simply driving thru.
Basically neighbors that use cars.

This is a horrible tragedy. Everyone deserves to get home safe in New York City.

There’s no protected bike lane on this street. Mayor Adams has built just a fraction of the protected bike lane miles he's legally required to build.

The result? Dangerous streets like this one.

Studies for over a decade show that cyclists and pedestrian spend more per person than drivers.

Cyclists and Pedestrians Can End Up Spending More Each Month Than Drivers

They may buy less per visit. But over the course of a month, bikers out-consumed drivers at bars, restaurants and convenience stores.

At some of these schools it is in fact illegal to be dropped off in any way but a vehicle.
