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.

It took him DAYS to “realize” what he says is wrong. 🙄

When we are out of this mess. ICE must be abolish, not reconstructed. You can’t reform this and we should not even try.

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...

Far Rockaway, water safety advocates and elected official announce the $26M investment for Arverne East Aquatic Center.

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.

The FARE Act Doomsaying Hasn't Come to Pass—But NYC Real Estate Brokers Are Still Playing Games One month after the bill that banned forced broker fees took effect, renters are still navigating a housing market rife with confusion and trickery.

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.
