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.

"Something about this version feels more welcoming, one of the rare third spaces in the city where leisure costs nothing and the pluralism on which we pride ourselves bears out." — @jawnita.bsky.social

This is so ridiculous.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

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

New: First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro ordered city officials to not testify at a Council hearing today about a Bronx housing project for ex-inmates, per sources.This comes after we first reported Mastro has been trying to derail the plan, which Adams used to back. Story coming

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.

The dehumanization of homeless individuals continues. Fuck Brian Kilmeade!

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

The dissonance is incredible

What an exit! So much respect for you, your work and this important statement @drdemetre.bsky.social! Thank you. 🙏🏼 enough is enough!

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.

Carlina Rivera will soon be stepping down from the NYC Council to lead NYSAFAH. We're immeasurably grateful for her partnership and leadership during her time in office. @carlinarivera.bsky.social earned our endorsement every time she ran, and her list of accomplishments is long. Among them...

We’re dreaming up the future of our district’s parks, housing, streets and amenities. RSVP to join us at the first of several open house sessions: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Years of advocacy. Countless voices fighting for their community. Families who turned pain into purpose. Today, Far Rockaway celebrates, all of Queens cheers with them, as we announce $26M in funding from Queens BP @drichardsqns.bsky.social to make the Arverne Esst Aquatic Center to nearly $65M.

We’re expanding 7-day library service! 📚 Last year, we fought hard to restore the mayor’s cuts to 7-day service. This year, 11 new branches will have Sunday service thanks to the $2M we proposed and secured.   See you on Sundays! 🎥 @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social @cmcarlinarivera.bsky.social

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

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.

#ICE is today’s Gestapo. Immigrants are not safe. Please, if you are a citizen and see something like this, intervene. We must unmask these people!

What a great afternoon at one of my favorite local bars, Diamond Dogs (If you live in Astoria, you know) in support of the re-election of @kristengonzalez.bsky.social for NYS Senate. Even got to see our next #NYCMayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

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.

They are telling us their desires. These fascists love to see people suffering and dying. This is what #Trump and his allies believe in, they are far gone.
