.@MTA why can't an empty train be sent to 167 Street, where an earlier train that was full, was taken out of service. The platform is dangerously full, and folks are standing on the edge.
@MonaDavids I find this quite disingenuous of CAF. I am sure they made an assessment of the infrastructure prior to awarding the contract for the games. I am sure Guineans are crushed at such a cruel decision. #CAF#AFCON
For the life of me, how does the .@MTA make any money to play its workers? At least 4 out of 10 are not paying to ride buses and subways, from my observation. There is fair fares for those who cannot afford it. #Paythefare
Noticed lately .@MTA train schedule on the 4 line is 10 minutes apart and a train directly behind during rush hour on a weekday. This is really not helping. 5 minutes between trains should be the norm, not 10 minutes, then 2 minutes, then 10 mins.
New York City set a bold goal of sending zero waste to landfills by 2030.
As @CMShahanaHanif and @CMSandyNurse write today:
Scaling up composting in every neighborhood is necessary to meet our climate and equity goals.

Having missed the nomination hearing of Judge Jackson earlier today, I went on YouTube to catch some of it, and @TheSocksSenator actually had me tearing up with his brilliant and emotional submission. #ConfirmationHearing#ConfirmJudgeJackson
Watching and listening to Judge Ketanji Jackson and I am really impressed with her poise and intellectual capacity - attributes needed in the Supreme Court. Sadly, most of them have become politicians. #ConfirmJudgeJackson
Ya Allah, please protect us from all this unnecessary gun violence in New York City. No where is safe, not even in the emergency room in a hospital. Sad !!
It’s with great sadness I announce the passing of Police Officer Wilbert Mora.
Wilbert is 3 times a hero. For choosing a life of service. For sacrificing his life to protect others. For giving life even in death through organ donation. Our heads are bowed & our hearts are heavy.
At our #GoodCause town hall on Tuesday, Kujegi Camara read a poem she wrote in honor of those we lost in the Bronx fire.
The words are beautiful, and resonate deeply. She's granted us permission to share the poem here.
May these words provide comfort and solace:
Congratulations .@ShahanaFromBK We are so proud of you and your accomplishments. May Allah guide your steps. The 39th have a great young and dynamic leader, and it doesn't hurt that she is Muslim too.
I was sworn in on a Qur’an. As the first Muslim woman elected to the NYC Council and the only Muslim in the incoming class, I have the unique responsibility to voice the issues of working Muslims and look forward to being a champion for our communites.
Really sick and tired of these cars violating road safety rules by parking on fire hydrants, crosswalks and even double parking. I understand parking is an issue in Highbridge, but don't flout the rules. #Highbridge#parking
Compelling words from this #Bronx mother who worries about her son’s safety ever day.
Take a moment to listen to her describe how laws meant to help our communities are hurting the good people who live there.
Let’s #FixTheLaws together — for the people they’re meant to protect.
