I see you didn’t read the op-ed but instead wanted to come on here & spew hate. Read the op-ed before coming on here to tell me about MY qualifications. As for the expansion that I’d love to one day see, I know that’s contingent on a lot of other factors. But, THIS op-ed has nothing to do with that.

We’ve allocated $1.2 million to build a brand new #soccer field to @successacademy.bsky.social #VillageAcademy & MS 53 students! As I’ve always said, our students should have all of the modern #infrastructure to ensure they have the absolute best educational experience right here in their community.

Thank you to the mother that testified through her pain to give us an insight into how social media plays an outsized role and the work the #MTA must do. Overall, I was pleased to hear the collaboration happing against agencies but more must be done.

Today, the @nyccouncil.bsky.social held a joint hearing on #SubwaySurfing. This was the start of a much needed conversation to combat this pervasive act that has accounted for six lives this year alone. 🧵
