@johntomlinson @NYCSanitation For some, it is. For you, it's not.

@brandonaaragon @NYCSanitation We do use public transport. We also use our car when our disabilities cannot be accomodated by the subway or by buses that are extremely inconsistent. Cars are expensive and a hassle in the City. We don't blame @NYCSanitation for our burden - but we want to know if its working.

[Keesha Gaskins-Nathan @keeshagaskins]

@timkell @NYCSanitation Tragedy? No. Inconvenience? Yes. Possibly consider that there are some people due to disability, medical conditions, and family demands that need use of their personal vehicles. Don't expect you to care, but just be aware that your opinion does not define the needs of others

[Keesha Gaskins-Nathan @keeshagaskins]

@johntomlinson @NYCSanitation For some it is. For others, not so much. We use our car because of medical conditions that make the subways inaccessible and the busses are NEVER on time. It's an inconvenience - not fatal. Neither is it unreasonable for us to understand how we can learn about the experiment.

[Keesha Gaskins-Nathan @keeshagaskins]

@danceiskeyyaho1 @NYCSanitation Of course. As disabled people with elderly parents we do use our car. It is a fair question. The decision to place the trash bins in our neighborhood was done without input from the community and its reasonable to find out how we stay notified about the progress of the test.

Starting in 2024, the IRS will provide taxpayers an option to file taxes for free, directly with the government. That means an end to having to hand over $240 and your sensitive, financial data to companies like Intuit and H&R Block.

.@NYCMayor's executive budget would cut $36.2 million from NYC libraries. If funding is not restored, weekend service across the city could end.

We have always supported our city’s libraries and are fighting to protect their funding in the FY24 budget!

#NoCutsToLibraries! @NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil, library funding is essential! New Yorkers need the vital services our libraries provide. The proposed library budget is an abomination.

[Keesha Gaskins-Nathan @keeshagaskins]

Good news!

Incredibly excited to have the opportunity to step up for the @JointCenter! I'm really looking forward to leading the team so that we can continue to make an impact on behalf of Black communities during this transition.

@krassenstein @RoKhanna @AOC I don't care for the ageist tone. If anyone of ANY age wasn't showing up due to health issues and was causing serious problems with governance, they should step down. Poor judgment is bad at any age, and being young(er) is simply not a qualification.
