Cargo trikes working in midtown #manhattan in the rain this morning. The Worksman does catering at construction sites. The dad doing school drop-off said, "It started during covid, and now it's a lifestyle."
This is where you can read, download or both all the documents and transcripts coming out of the #Trump#Manhattan#ElectionInterference trial. Save it wherever you save stuff for future use. #Legal
The USGS reported that the earthquake’s epicenter was in #Lebanon, NJ about 50 miles west of #NYC, where residents darted into streets wondering what had just happened.
The family of #BrianSicknick, the #PoliceOfficer who died during the #Jan6 attack, blasted Trump’s appearance at a wake Thurs for slain #NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller.
Charles & Kenneth Sicknick on Fri expressed condolences to Diller’s family, but said #Trump’s appearance, especially the #PressConference outside a funeral home, was nothing but an #inappropriate#PoliticalStunt.
#Trump was #indicted last year by a #federal#GrandJury for his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, & has been blamed for #inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol on #Jan6.
He is currently under #indictment in #Manhattan for falsifying business records to hide #HushMoney payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. He is also facing #racketeering charges in #Georgia for an alleged effort to subvert that state’s election laws following his loss to Biden in the 2020 election.
New York City clears way for the first congestion pricing in the U.S., charging cars $15 to enter parts of Manhattan.
NBC News reports: "Congestion pricing will impact any driver entering what is being called the Central Business District (CBD), which stretches from 60th Street in Manhattan and below, all the way down to the southern tip of the Financial District."
“V-J Day in Times Square, Kobra's colorful edition”
Eduardo Kobra painted these stunning murals on 25th Street at 10th Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New-York City.
The top mural takes inspiration from Alfred Eisenstaedt’s iconic photo of a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a nurse on V-J Day in Times Square in New York City. The photo symbolizes the triumph of love over war and how America found relief in the silence of the guns after Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945.
Sadly, these two people were complete strangers, and the sailor was drunk, making this photo a symbol of The Selective Blindness of Rape Culture.
Below is a mural depicting vintage Times Square street scene.
Unfortunately, these murals have been painted over by the building owner.
The City That Never Sleeps is a well-known nickname for New York City, famously employed in the “Theme from New York, New York”, covered by Frank Sinatra.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States from the people of France. It is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.
But it was a long time ago…
Nowadays, there is a worrying increase of xenophobia in France, with dumb actions taken by some political leaders that do nothing to improve the situation… :-(
The charges, returned by a grand jury in #Manhattan, come just 2 months before Mr. Menendez, Ms. Menendez & 2 New Jersey businessmen are scheduled for #trial.
