Boy, 4, breaks away from mom, fatally struck by SUV driver, who leaves Brooklyn scene The child was hit by the driver of Ford SUV on Rockaway Parkway near Linden Blvd. in East Flatbush about 11:10 a.m., cops said.

We need to open completely car-free safe streets around a lot more than just schools

An adequately trained, attentive driver should easily be able to avoid killing a 4-year-old pedestrian

Our city’s parents should not have to fear a child’s “breaking away” being a death sentence

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been for decades trying to drag the U.S. into war with Iran. Senator Van Hollen yesterday said he just hadn’t found a president stupid enough to be dragged into that war."
