New Yorkers shouldn’t have to worry every time it rains. Ahead of this weekend’s storms, City workers have been out across all five boroughs clearing and inspecting catch basins in flood-prone neighborhoods.
Today I joined @NYCWater in Bushwick to clear a catch basin overflowing with debris and litter on Knickerbocker Avenue, one of the areas hit hardest by Wednesday’s storm.
If you see a clogged catch basin, call 311.
And if you’re able, help your neighbors by clearing leaves or litter from nearby grates before the rain arrives.
Single sex schools give many girls something surprisingly rare: the experience of seeing women occupy every level of authority without explanation or exception. Entire institutions run by women. So no one will ever convince me that women are incompetent.
Zohran Mamdani just forced Jeff Bezos to pay New York City $9 million in fines his company owed.
This is exactly why we elect politicians who aren’t bought by corporations: they actually hold powerful people accountable instead of protecting them.

There was a time when music from every corner of SA united us. This is one of those timeless classic.

LOL Stephen Colbert is making his band play licensed music during his final show so CBS – who fired him – will get sued and have to pay millions
"Anyone illegally using that music is gonna have to pay through the nose--"
[band starts playing]
"Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!"
“Styled by Maria” might genuinely be one of the most beautiful memorial dress codes I’ve ever seen. And Johannesburg understood the assignment. What a breathtaking send-off for a woman who shaped the texture, style and cultural rhythm of this city so profoundly. 🖤
