the air quality sucks, the food gives you explosive diarrhea, we have no public transport, medical care is unaffordable, theyโre tearing down forests to build AI data centers and I still have to clock in for work
Ashura is a time of remembrance, sacrifice and reflection.ย
Today, on the 10th day of Muharram, we are reminded of Imam Hussain's unwavering commitment to truth and dignity. His timeless legacy reminds us of the enduring values of faith, service to one another, and the belief that justice is always worth fighting for.
Our Cityโs strength comes from the many faith traditions that shape it โ and our shared struggle against injustice and oppression.
May we carry these values forward as we continue building a more just City for every New Yorker.

Throughout history, I have never read or heard of a betrayal as profound as the one unfolding in Lebanon today.
While Israel bombs the south, leveling villages and inflicting unspeakable suffering on civilians, a group within our own borders, led by the President, the Prime Minister, and the Lebanese Forces, a right wing christian group historically affiliated with Israel, has reached a bottomless depth of depravity.
Under the hollow guise of "political pragmatism," they are whispering in the ear of the aggressor, encouraging the continued slaughter of their own countrymen who stand for the resistance.
It is a disgrace beyond words to hold direct, face-to-face meetings with those spilling Lebanese blood while the smoke still rises from our homes. Shaking the hands of the executioner while the bodies of your citizens are still being pulled from the rubble is not "diplomacy"; it is the most intimate form of treachery.
These people will be remembered as the ultimate traitors.
Even the masters they serve, the Israelis and the Americans, view them with nothing but contempt.
They are being used as temporary tools, and history will discard them as nothing more than treacherous lowlifes.
My brain canโt comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.
if you are being apolitical in big 2026, you are either too privileged or plain stupid. please be responsible and get educated. it's really painful to watch y'all flexing it.
It finally happened yesterday. We were all playing with a baby and then came then โWhen are you two going to get busyyy and pop one out?!โ and I firmly said, โWhen we quit losing them.โ and the crowd fell silent. Donโt ask questions in which you arenโt prepared for the answer!
