@rebeccaugust @sethmpk Hardly. Show the actual amounts!

Our family had a great dinner at Miriam last night - a restaurant in Park Slope that was recently vandalized because its owner is Israeli. The despicable graffiti is part of a disturbing spike in antisemitic incidents in New York and beyond. If you’re able, show your support for the Miriam team by stopping in. Sit down for a meal - and stand up against hatred.

Our CM @ShahanaFromBK sends us a mailer stating that she’s “fighting the Trump agenda”. She literally spent 10 months supporting the opt out/uncommitted movement in MI & PA which helped get Trump elected. Stop gaslighting us. #FakeDem

@ShahanaFromBK Councilmember, To represent us you should know: blaming unidentified powerful scheming people is an all-too-familiar antisemitic trope.

@joshuarolson @daniela127 Alternate alternate take: calling people names is not always the best take in an argument.

The new Frank Decolvenaere dog run — named for a beloved Bay Ridgeite who was hit by a car and killed while walking his dog in 2020 — transformed an unused stretch of asphalt into a welcoming greenspace for pups and people alike. https://t.co/1kSCGkJgRD

.@ShahanaFromBK You seriously misrep the “goal” of Congestion Pricing. As the name suggests, it is to dis-incentivize congestion in the downtown core. Rather than exemptions that undermine the goal, find ways to assist that support it (eg fewer auto trips with higher fares).

BREAKING: I penned & sent a letter to the Traffic Mobility Review Board that 25 city & state elected officials signed on calling for an exemption for taxi & for-hire vehicle drivers from the new congestion pricing toll. @NYTWA @JuliaCarmel__ @ShahanaFromBK https://t.co/mqXCZkYOQg
