"If the people believe there's an imaginary river out there, you don't tell them there's no river there.
You build an imaginary bridge over the imaginary river."

At the corner of Clarkson St. And 8th Ave. So. is a building that for 120 years has served the Greenwich Village community as an iconic piece of civic architecture, reflecting the evolution of the neighborhood. More: villagepreservation.org/2026…
There are zero Flock cameras in Manhattan’s wealthiest neighborhood
Flock cameras for thee but not for me? I guess the rich don't want to be monitored like common criminals by their government.
Are you mad yet?!
Odd, there’s not a SINGLE Flock camera on the Upper West Side… 🤔
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NYC has zero Flock Safety cameras citywide. NYPD, DOT and MTA confirmed no contracts. DeFlock is a crowdsourced map of all ALPRs and incomplete; other ALPRs exist on the UWS at multiple spots including W 72nd & CPW.

Big win for America’s LIVE FREE OR DIE state. EPA just proposed an end of mandatory emissions testing to register vehicles—the state voted to end it, and EPA just moved to make it official. One less hassle, one less fee, and one less line to stand in. Public comment is open if you want to weigh in: epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-con…
Protecting human health? Mass. just joined other blue sanctuary states to kill babies up until delivery.
And sorry, Lee is in it to the end.

President Trump grants pardons to 'persecuted' mechanics in right-to-repair crackdown: 'I am setting them all free'
foxnews.com/politics/trump-g…
WILD (& devious). When it comes to hormone disruptors, frequency of exposure matters & generally anything scented is worse than not. But “unscented” is a scent (!) designed to mask other scents. “Fragrance free” is what you want. Dr Natalie Crawford on Huberman Lab podcast.
The fact that soaps and sprays and cosmetics labeled “unscented“ have the same endocrine disruptors that scented versions of those products have, is surprising. Until you learned that unscented is a scent! Fragrance free is what you want.
Watch the documentary “Stink!” free if you’re interested in the fragrance loophole: youtube.com/watch?v=lk6elw_V…
Always cracks me up when something is marketed as having a ‘clean’ scent. Newsflash: clean doesn’t have a scent — that’s the whole idea. Worth watching Stink! for the deeper dive.

This week, the Trump admin took the strongest action in history against microplastics, ensured pastries will be replaced with eggs in school breakfasts, ensured hospitals serve healthier food, and pressured Reese’s Cups to go back to using real chocolate instead of chemicals.
Don’t let the media gaslight you about MAHA.
Curious how @epaleezeldin big environmental moment is #microplastics — the one pollutant with no specific company to regulate, no lobbying check to return, no donor to upset.
Meanwhile actual point-source polluters got rollbacks.

🚨Just announced with @SecKennedy: The Trump EPA is including microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminants on the agency’s Contaminant Candidate List. We have heard from millions of Americans who are concerned about plastics and pharmaceuticals in drinking water and we are taking action.
Our proposal, now open for public comment, also includes PFAS, disinfection byproducts, 75 individual chemicals, and 9 microbes that may be present in public drinking water systems. We will follow the science, pursue answers, and hold ourselves to the highest standards to protect the health of Americans. epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-tak…

Microplastics is the perfect fake stance: sounds brave, costs nothing. Faux #Maha
