@GovKathyHochul Hybrid commuters are being penalized. I ride 3 days/week—10-trip works. Now the @MTA is effectively pushing monthly passes while fares rise. $175 vs $378 for my commute is not a “choice.” Unconscionable.
Statement of the Haitian-American Foundation for Democracy
Once again, the Trump/Vance team shamelessly exploits Haitians as scapegoats during their bid for the presidency.
Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance and several congressional leaders have spread dangerous falsehoods, demonizing Haitian immigrants as homeless and hungry invaders that represent a threat to Ohioans — even suggesting they pose a danger to pets.
This reckless fear-mongering puts vulnerable communities at risk, stokes division, and incites hate crimes. Local law enforcement, faith communities, and social services must be supported in protecting these new community members from harm.
The simple truth is that towns like Springfield, Ohio, whose economy were in decline, have been revitalized by the influx of Haitian and other legal immigrants. As these communities adjust to demographic changes, this transitional period should be viewed as an opportunity for growth and collaboration, not for sowing confusion and fear.
We urge all Haitian-Americans and our allies to counter these vile attacks by actively engaging in the democratic process, promoting inclusivity. By doing so, we can help ensure that all members of society are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect.

🛫 @JetBlue, how do you cancel a flight right before boarding? Not only do I have to rebook for another day, but I also lost my window seat. Now you’re asking me to pay for a new window seat. 🤔 Make it make sense. #TravelWoes

@JetBlue Your booking system is terrible. Spent the past 45mins trying to book a flight completed transaction & system kicked me out on my 4th attempt to purchase the price increased. Feeling like a bait and switch!
Here’s your Friday reminder to care for yourself this weekend. With a busy season approaching and the onset of a new year, it is easy to forget that self-care isn’t selfish. Make time for you this weekend. Happy Friday.
It is with profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved pastor, Reverend Dr. Calvin O. Butts, lll, who peacefully transitioned in the early morning of October 28, 2022. The Butts Family & entire Abyssinian Baptist Church membership solicit your prayers.
Our call to action is to catalyze conversations on the web, in the streets, and in our communities and homes. We need to raise our voices, stand up, and support a Haitian-led mobilization! Democracy for all! #SOSHaiti#haiti
Ever since becoming the world’s first Black republic, Haiti’s relationship 2 the white world has been vexed Now Haiti is left with the results of all those good intentions: guns & ammunition coming in from Miami…& a deadened, benumbed puppet government https://t.co/Ti7LkipJM9
