“they would rather do a hunger strike than do a 24-hour shift. Let’s, let’s think about that for a second,” Council member Christopher Marte said. “Most protests, the last straw is a hunger strike. But this is where we’re at. We’re at the last end.”

woah

More people should run for local office. Roles like State Committee and County Committee are opportunities to represent our neighbors and amplify important local issues.

Governor Hochul should stand with working families and tax the rich to fund the services that every day New Yorkers depend on.

do I know anyone who is on the NY Essential Plan health insurance and is going to lose it this summer because of the federal budget cuts?

if so, and if you feel comfortable discussing it with a reporter, DM me or reply here. we would love to get input from New Yorkers about this!

Well, turns out getting scanned through TSA by a dude with 3 spare clips prominently stashed in his tactical vest is a pretty visceral reminder of flying in South Africa during the 1980s.

This is our 2017 NYC DOT softball championship hat. It’s a great honor.

hbd!!

While Affordable Housing Tenants Pay Extra for Amenities, Some Market Rate Renters Get Them For Free - City Limits While high prices lock some New York City affordable housing tenants out of their luxury building’s amenities—like game rooms, gyms, co-working spaces, and lounges—some of their market-rate neighbors ...

At two new mixed-income buildings, market rate tenants told City Limits their amenity fees are often waived—while their neighbors in affordable housing, who pay rent with a voucher or won a lower-cost lottery rental, are asked to pay extra for those perks. citylimits.org/while-afford...

Hahahaha

If the Radical Left Democrats don't immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This man can’t win one election in Minnesota but apparently I won three offices simultaneously 😂
