It took a huge amount of vision to see the potential of what this park could deliver in the aftermath of Sandy, and to see it realized is so rewarding. Huge credit to the local leaders, NYCHA TAs, and community organizers who made this a reality when no one believed it could be done.

Shameful. New York needs supportive housing. These 80+ homes have been delayed for too long— @Council.nyc.gov should approve them anyways.

We must keep in mind: History remembers, it doesn’t narrate. It’s up to us to call it what it is & hope it resonates with the rest. We are living under a fascist regime in the #USA the sooner everyone acknowledge it, the sooner we will deal with it. We study and learn meanings to use them.

Thanks to @chiosse.bsky.social and the City Council, the law is crystal clear: if a landlord hires a broker, they pay the fee. Now the City must actively enforce it.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought. Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too. What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Denying housing to LGBTQ+ Seniors on #PrideMonth is awfully, to say the least. This action is very disappointing and does not meet the moment, it only feeds into the lies of ESG and its NIMBY advocates. #NYC can’t continue to delay, even less cancel, these projects.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
