Atlantic Yards was a time when I believed the affordable housing would actually get built. It did not. Even after that so many Dems support developers with these promises without actually ensuring they are enforced. Zohran is aa notable break from this (including among DSA and supposed progressives)

This is truly not a normal way for the city's congressional delegation to handle a primary.

A sister as well as a friend of Neri Alvarado Borges confirm that he is now back in Venezuela.

Neri's wrongful imprisonment attracted international attention. He is the 25-year-old with an autism awareness ribbon tattooed on his leg. This is him leaving the plane.

One of the men @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social and I wrote about is Ysqueibel Yonaiquer Peñaloza Chirinos. He came into the U.S. legally, through the CBP One app. His family has worked tirelessly to secure his release from CECOT. Tonight, they got to hug him again. His mother Ydalys shares this video:

Andry Hernández Romero, the innocent make-up artist imprisoned without trial for 4 months in El Salvador by the Trump admin, is FREE.

He was wrongfully accused of being a gang member because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, and illegally sent to El Salvador without due process.

I have been meaning to go there! The woman who was basically my grandma passed last year. She had an Indian friend who sort of memorialized her there when she died and I am hoping to pay a visit and pay respects

No.
You need to pick one.
That's the law.

I am not really a hockey fan at all but I think the Devils are fine! NJ should have more teams!

A plain gray's papaya or Nathan's every now and then is nice but I prefer almost all other meats

I don't like hot dogs too much and definitely not with toppings. It's not my bag.

Please dont take any of my comments as a slight against New Jersey. I love New Jersey. It is its own place and a great place. Both New Jersey and New York are their own things and deserve their own things.

I was lucky enough to get Oasis tickets for September. I am already stressed about getting in and out.

I don't care what happens to the Jets or Giants. Neither deserve a chance to actually play in the city at this point. I just would like major events to have to actually come to NYC rather than going so far away and pretending.

They became the Red Bulls and just lie about being in NY now.

I had this thought as well.

They could have done what all the sports teams (that I don't root for) do and just played pretend
