What sort of off-brand city sends me a $50 camera ticket for speeding in a school zone for racing at 36 mph in a 25 zone at -- wait for it -- 5:40 a.m. in total darkness on a morning in -- wait for it -- mid-July?
Two-word clue: Yankees Suck.

The attacks on @embernic are particularly vile. Folks in #BayRidge know she's been a target for years for a particularly unhinged group of dirtbag right-wingers.

So here: this is why we support Ember, and are beyond lucky to have her as one of our contributors. (MEGATHREAD!)

Sashay away, crook

[Assemblymember Brook-Krasny @AlecBrookKrasny]

The LGBTQ+ community and even “pride” itself is inherently sexual. Every letter literally represents a sexual orientation. I would even go as far as to say that it’s hyper-sexual. Anyone can go to a Pride parade and see for themselves that it is very sexualized. There are many participants there that are wearing things such as bondage gear or even wearing nothing at all. Another thing that unfortunately will be seen at these Pride parades are small children. As a father of three and a grandfather to a 6 year old, I don’t agree with young kids being exposed to that. I will acknowledge that there are people who do hate others just for their sexual orientation and I condemn that. I will always stand against hate as I have experienced it in my own life, having to come to this great country as a refugee due to being persecuted for my religion in the USSR. But certain things have gone too far in my opinion and I believe many people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community agree with that as well. For example I don’t believe it’s “normal” for someone to live their whole life as a male, compete in mens sports, not do as well as they want to, conveniently change genders, and start crushing the girls they compete against. The women and girls who have had to experience that dedicate their life to a sport, only for the first place spot they fought so hard to achieve being awarded to a biological male. Not to mention changing in the women’s locker room and exposing themselves, making many women in there uncomfortable. Like I previously mentioned I am the father of three, two of which are women. Imagining them coming home from school when they were growing up and telling me that a boy was naked in the same locker room as them sickens me, as it should to any parent of a little girl. I don’t agree with that being normalized either. These are the things I am actively fighting against. I am fighting to protect our children, who are the future of this great nation. I will not be intimidated.

oh good we trust Malliotakis so much on Covid 😒

[Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy]

Republicans have created two select subcommittees to stop the weaponization of the federal government and finally get answers to the COVID origins and the federal government’s gain of function research that contributed to the pandemic.

I'm proud to announce the members:

glad to see @danhetx @RadioFreeBR given so much space here, but we'd also like to see articles recognize that just because @NMalliotakis says something doesn't mean it's true

A recent string of robberies and break-ins in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights has spurred fears of a "crime wave" in the area — but the data shows no such wave is occurring, 68th Precinct commanding officer Andrew Tolson said at the Oct. 19 meeting. https://t.co/gcXTBkKU4B

[Yav @whoisyav]

@Phil_Lewis_ It was the express N train. Happened between 59th and 36th street. Before the train got in the platform. There was already train traffic so it has us stuck in the cart longer. As the train got in the station, everyone fled to the local R train across the platform

@RadioFreeBR Parks needs more money for tree maintenance. The present system is beyond backlogged :/

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

@RadioFreeBR Do you think Gounardes's district could be "too blue" for him now? That he risks being primaried by, say, a Democratic socialist?

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

When Blockbuster closed all the indie video stores, and Barnes and Noble the bookstores, we thought, one day a generation will mourn the losses of the Blockbusters and Barnes and Nobles...

.@ericadamsfornyc we know of a 217-acre golf course in southern Brooklyn built atop filled in marshland... 🤔 https://t.co/6WpIMZAXGA

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

Went to Orange County with some local artists and media people, and we started designing new parks, plotting new political campaigns... and that was just the first afternoon. Like when Mary Shelley and John Polidori vacationed in Geneva and invented Frankenstein and vampires! 😅

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

If you're wondering which ones, it's all the trains that go anywhere near Bay Ridge.

@danhetx We broke that NYU was buying the old welfare-office building months before anyone cared 😅

If millions of people are concerned, it's because they were lied to by traitors #resignmalliotakis

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Rep. Malliotakis went on Erin Burnett's show and tried to defend her vote against certifying Biden's election win. It didn't go great for her.

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

.@NMalliotakis friends of yours? (We don't mean the police officers protecting your life.) #ResignMalliotakis

[Jack Jenkins @jackmjenkins]

This story is absolutely horrific.

And these two passage in particular are just…terrifying. https://t.co/AksUOceS68

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

Big crowd on Third Avenue this afternoon to protest @NMalliotakis' treason

[Hey Ridge @HeyRidgeBK]

You're absolutely unacceptable and un-American

[Nicole Malliotakis @NMalliotakis]

My staff and I are safe and have been brought to a secure location by the Capitol Police. Everyone who is responsible for this violence and lawlessness must stop. This is absolutely unnacceptable and un-American.
