This appears to be the video that the NYPD pulled a screenshot from for their person of interest posting about Frank James in the #NYCsubway shooting.

James posted this on March 20 entitled "STOP ONE COMPLETE" and says he's "on my way to Philadelphia."
James says in the video he is on "the first leg of my trip."

"As I leave the state of Wisconsin and about to be back in the state of Illinois, all I can say is 'good riddance.' And I will never be back again alive to that motherfucker."

In another clip from the same video, he gives a very lengthy and mostly nonsensical rant I won't repost here, but he ends by saying he's in Fort Wayne Indiana, on his way to Philadelphia to "drop my shit off at my storage unit" before going to a hotel in New Jersey.

March 20.
On March 21, one day after the video NYPD screenshotted for their person of interest lookout, Frank James rambled for a 30 minute video, but it ends with saying he's still in Fort Wayne and going to Caledonia, Indiana.

"This may be my last video, let's hope not."
On March 22, Frank James posted a video entitled "I am here."

It is mostly a 24-minute long ramble, but he seems to share a vision of "doomsday" and "World War III."
Frank James March 22 says he's focused on "getting to my final destination safely and just moving on with my life" "if I'm not caught up in doomsday, which I just might be."

"Any day and every day from here on out, as we can see, could be f*ing doomsday."
I'm not hoping to repost enormous amounts of this guy's rambling, but he does lay out a timeline of a lengthy journey.

At the end of a long March 23 rant video, Frank James says he's in Harrisburg.

"Now that I bought myself some time, I can chill out and not rush."
In a 36 minute vulgar and incoherent April 2 rant, NYPD's person of interest in the subway shooting Frank James compares serial killers Ted Bundy and Dennis Lynn Rader with accused George O. Ramsey III, a substance abuse counselor accused of sexually assaulting patients.
In an hour+ video posted April 11 (no more than 36 hours before the attack he is a person of interest in) Frank James says he has "wanted to kill people, wanted to watch them die" but that he was deterred by the possibility of going to prison.
In his final YouTube video on April 11, Frank James says he is "scared to death" of going to prison, and talks about the TV show "Scared Straight."

This is amidst an hour+ long rant, much of which is quite incoherent.
Thread apparently broke here. Cont'd:
The New York Post is reporting that NYC shooting suspect Frank Hanes has been apprehended.

THREAD: This morning during rush hour, climate activists once again blocked I-395, their third time doing so in two weeks.

They hoped to draw attention to climate change and encourage President Biden to declare a "climate emergency."
Activist Jon spoke to me while blocking the highway, as drivers screamed at them.

"We have a brief and rapidly closing window to address the climate crisis," he explained. "The government isn't listening!"

"We hate the situation that drivers are in because of the crisis."
"I gotta get to my wife, she's pregnant. What the fuck?" one driver got out of his car to yell at the protesters blocking the highway. "I need to get to her to have my child."

Police arrived and one protester left the road, opening one lane.

VIDEO THREAD: I documented an unusual situation this morning.

Climate activists were traveling in DC in a bus that broke down, and MPD showed up, first questioning whether the bus was properly registered.

It was licensed through an indigenous reservation rather than DMV.
The bus is apparently registered as an RV, but police did a "DOT Inspection" and determined they consider it a "commercial vehicle" which the activists don't have a license to drive.

"He's transporting pris- passengers, ok, transporting you guys," an officer explained.
MPD issued a warning to the driver of the bus, but gave $1000 fine to owner for illegally parking when they broke down.

Officer said if bus was provably broken down, that would beat the ticket.

"It's broken down, and it's out of service" he then said, so MPD would have to tow.

Activists supporting Australian @wikileaks publisher Julian Assange gathered this morning outside the British Embassy in Washington DC, demanding he not be extradited to the US.

Speeches: @CredicoRandy, @SarcasmStardust, @drgloryjjjjj958, and Marty Goodman of @SocialistActUS
Supporters of @wikileaks publisher Julian Assange gathered this afternoon at the DOJ, bracing for possibility he will soon face trial in US.

Speeches: @dancohen3000, @FiorellaIsabelM, @MeanPanduh, @TheRealJFOD, @kthalps, @SavageJoyMarie1 & Andre Powell of Socialist Unity Party.
"What hurts our security more?" asks @drgloryjjjjj958. "The United States military committing war crimes, or someone releasing them?"

"It's quite simple, I mean, unless if you're an absolute bootlicker."

VIDEO THREAD: Today @WV_Rising activists blockaded the Grant Town Coal Plant in WV, and about 16 in total were arrested.

Seven used sleeping dragon maneuver (chaining their hands to each other's in pipes).

WV State Troopers arrested those seven, escorting them away connected.
I spoke to two activists while cops attempted to cut through pipe over their chained-together hands.

One said @Sen_JoeManchin (who profits from the targeted plant) should read the new IPCC report arguing for swift action on climate change.

Other says plant pollutes atmosphere.
"Manchin, he sold us out!" chanted the activists continuing to rally in front of the Grant Town Coal Plant.

"The federal government, guilty!"

"Manchin, back climate policies!"

Manchin "does not have [constituents'] best interest at heart," said activist Kevin Cramer Jr.

Good morning from West Virginia, where activists are planning the “Coal Barron Blockade” against the Grant Town Coal Plant.

Local organizer Warren Hilsbos talks about what to expect today and the various risk levels at the action.
“We’ve been trying to talk to you for months, years, decades,” Hilsbos says of Senator Joe Manchin, who profits from the coal plant targeted today.

“It’s clear that you don’t really want to listen.”

“We’re all running out of time and we’re prepared to only escalate from here.”

VIDEO THREAD: This morning, climate activists with @ExtinctionR and @ScientistRebel1 including scientist Rose Abramoff @ultracricket stood in front of incoming traffic to block I-395 going into Washington DC.

The group is demanding President Biden declare a climate emergency.
"We got to feed our kids, come on! Get out of the way!"

Drivers stuck on I-395, blocked by the climate activists, angrily got out of their cars, honked, and yelled at police to arrest them.

"Could you arrest these guys so we can go to work? This isn't free speech!"
"Go to Capitol Hill if you're really concerned about this damn climate change!" yelled one driver at the protesters blocking the highway.

"They don't listen to us!" activists replied.

MPD began turning around cars and arresting activists.
