Radio Free Bay Ridge

@radiofreebr.bsky.social

Hyperlocal political podcast coming at you from beautiful Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Co-hosts: @rachelbrody.bsky.social @danhetx.bsky.social @embernic.bsky.social & more folks who aren't on bluesky yet.

Last night, we heard all or our favorite bikelash arguments. We also heard something novel and unhinged from Board member Stephen Harrison. He believes that the presence of Citi Bike docks in the street will lower the value of homes so much that DOT should compensate nearby property owners.

Tomorrow's CB10 traffic and transportation meeting will be an important one. If we're going to reduce traffic, limit car dependency, and improve street safety, we need a dense and usable network of alternative transit modes. Show your support of cycling and less public space for car storage.

Citi Bike is (finally) coming to Bay Ridge! But we need YOU to take action so the plan to expand the popular bikeshare program isn’t delayed or watered down.

Or maybe House Representative, Nicole Malliotakis forgot that my family members are registered voters & her constituents here in #NY11. Or maybe she just doesn’t care. But plenty of people in our district do care. @radiofreebr.bsky.social @agounardes.bsky.social @justinbrannan.bsky.social

When #NY11 House Representative Nicole Malliotakis voted to defund my incandescent autistic son’s Medicaid, SNAP and other benefits yesterday, she forgot that I read this piece right in front of her office last week. Or she didn’t listen. thinkingautismguide.com/2025/05/medi...

#NY11 owes a huge thank-you to @mikedecillis.bsky.social, who organized a MASSIVE #HandsOff town hall on Staten Island on April 5th & plans additional actions throughout the district. Nicole may want to hide, but these constituents will hold her accountable. radiofreebayridge.org/community/ny...

Nicole Malliotakis Staten Island Empty Chair Town Hall

Check out our recap (and listen to the audio from) the Staten Island Empty Chair Town Hall for Congressmember Nicole Malliotakis.

Malliotakis: “There’s a clear understanding between many of us and the speaker. We will not vote for something that takes away eligibility from our constituents, period.” Priceless. Eligibility without funding? Meaningless. NY11 is watching. Call her 202-225-3121. punchbowl.news/article/hous...

House Republicans’ next headache: The Medicaid fight

If House Republican leadership can force the Senate-passed budget resolution through the chamber, they’ll quickly face a showdown over cutting Medicaid.

Your Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis on the historic market crash and meltdown: It's just "a little turbulence as you move to smooth skies." Remember that in a few months, when the full effects begin to be felt. The person you elected to protect you said it's merely "a little turbulence"

Today, as we hear about what's happening to the economy, it's important to note how our local politics caused this. Nicole Malliotakis, our Congresswoman, has the power to create and remove tariffs. Not Trump. Months ago, she voted to give that power away, without conditions.

People will say this is the result of a presidential election, and that’s partly true. But the Constitution does not delegate tariff power to the president, and he is only able to impose these ruinous, peace-destroying taxes because Congress has let him do so. Congress can end this at any time.

A simple reminder that Nicole "I want to build a Women's History museum" Malliotakis voted AGAINST allowing new parents from designating someone to vote for them in Congress after the birth of a new child. Fuck being with your newborn. You gotta come to work.

Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez has spent her entire career fighting for the people too often left behind: immigrants, working families, small business owners – the very people who power this city. I’m so incredibly honored to have her in my corner. 💪🏼💪🏼
