As a delivery worker and leader of @LosDeliveristas, I strongly denounce @NYCMayor’s new e-bike speed limit policy. This policy does not protect us—it criminalizes delivery workers like me while leaving app companies unregulated. It comes at a time when ICE raids are targeting our community, sending a dangerous message that those who keep this city moving are expendable for political gain.
Most e-bikes don’t even have speedometers, and app companies use AI to monitor and deactivate workers without warning—a constant threat of losing our livelihoods. Expecting us to obey a 15 MPH limit under these conditions is unrealistic and exposes us to police discretion, criminalization, and increased risk of deportation.
We call on @NYCCouncil to pass Intro 1332. This legislation would provide just cause deactivation protections, allowing delivery workers to follow traffic laws, work safely, and protect themselves from ICE without risking their jobs. No worker should have to choose between safety and survival.
City Council: Protect deliveristas. Pass Intro 1332.
Today's the big day: New York City's new 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes is officially in effect, though no one — even the New York Post — knows how it'll be enforced. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/…

NEW: @andrewcuomo just conceded the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to @ZohranKMamdani. Cuomo had universal name ID, a $25M PAC backing him and tons of institutional endorsements. Mamdani is a 33-year-old socialist. The magnitude of this can't be overstated.

Yesterday the Queens College #CUNY Provost instructed all chairs to fire 26 people in substitute lines.
26 people have lost salaries & possibly health insurance 15 days before the start of the semester!

Toni Morrison: "[fascist politics] changes citizens into taxpayers—so individuals become angry at even the notion of the public good."

New York City's air was, suddenly, the dirtiest in the world.
But delivery cyclist Eli Rosado told us that customers weren't tipping him any better.

You'd think that the neighborhoods placing the most food orders for delivery would be the most sympathetic to the plight of underpaid, unfairly treated workers. Guess again — @julcuba has the scoop, thanks to a smart FOIL request: nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/05/…

Just spoke with Astoria delivery worker Toño Solís. His final delivery of the day was around 9:30pm — $5 for an hour-long trip to BK. That lousy pay was the final straw to pack it up and go home. He earned just $115 all day 1-9:30pm. “This is why we’re fighting for fair wages.”

Last night at 10pm, DRUM member Borkat Ullah was killed while working and making food deliveries
Borkat was a DRUM member for a year and a half. He fled Bangladesh after encountering political repression & targeting there and came here as a border crosser and was seeking asylum.

NEW: Unions would not be able to engage in “picketing, strikes, slow downs, or boycotts” of tech companies under a draft bill in New York that would allow gig workers to unionize.

Gig workers demonstrating in NYC–calling for change in gig economy after Francisco Villalva Vitinio, doordash driver, was robbed & killed few weeks ago.
Gig companies know risk transferred to workers. We are backbone of these companies–they are all being reminded of that today.

Kids rolling 30-40 deep on their bikes in Perth Amboy, NJ got chased at high speeds by several police cars til a few of them got cornered on a quiet street. One older👮 gives them a talking to and tells them to be safe. And it seems like they'll be let go. They even clap for him.
