“Trained mental health professional” here. We have no magical abilities to stop a paranoid schizophrenic from being violent. No way in Hell I’d go into a home of someone having a violent meltdown. That’s a job for police.,We will happily work with that person in SAFE & SECURE facility.

Everybody keeps repeating the same line… “Relax… it’s just a tax on mansions.” That sounds good. It just ain’t true. When you die, the government doesn’t just look at your house… They look at everything you built your entire life. Your 401k. Your savings. Your investments. Your life insurance. Even the little things you didn’t think mattered. Now take a regular New York situation: A modest home. Some retirement savings. A little money in the bank. That’s not “rich.” That’s called doing things the right way. But under this proposal? That same working family could suddenly be treated like a taxable estate. And here’s the part people keep glossing over… Before this? Most families paid nothing. Now? They’re talking about cutting that protection down… and taking a piece of what’s left behind. So no… This isn’t just about mansions. It’s about whether the average person in New York can actually pass something down… Or if everything they worked for gets taxed on the way out. #nyc #mta #ny #fyp

Most people think the biggest pollution problem in New York City is traffic. But the real one might be underground. A 2023 study called “Particulate Matter Concentration and Composition in the New York City Subway System” tested the air at 287 stations and 333 platforms across the subway system. What they found was wild. The average underground platform had about 142 micrograms of fine particles in the air. The federal outdoor safety guideline is 35. So in many places the subway air is about 4× worse than what’s considered safe outside. And at High Street on the A/C line in Brooklyn, researchers measured about 360 micrograms. That’s roughly 10× higher than normal outdoor air. So what’s in the air? A lot of it is metal dust. About 43% of the particles were iron — coming from train wheels grinding against rails and brake systems wearing down. These particles are microscopic, which means they can travel deep into your lungs. Over time exposure has been linked to things like coughing, throat irritation, shortness of breath, lung inflammation, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Most riders are down here 20–30 minutes. But transit workers breathe this air for hours every day. Sometimes the biggest environmental issue in New York… is happening in the tunnels. #ny #nyc #mta #fyp

Pay attention to what’s happening right now. The Long Island Rail Road unions aren’t just fighting for raises. They’re fighting a concessionary contract — cuts to overtime, changes to work rules, and being asked to do more for less. The MTA pushed that. The workers said no. It went to a Presidential Emergency Board… And the board sided with the unions. Now think about what that means. If LIRR workers land a strong percentage, that doesn’t stay isolated. That becomes the pattern. And once a pattern is set, it gets real hard to turn around and offer every other transit worker less. That’s how one contract changes the whole system. But here’s the bigger question. If Democrats are supposed to be the party of labor… why don’t we see that when it matters? Why does it always feel like the middle class and working people are the ones being asked to give something up? Overtime. Work rules. Concessions. At some point, people are going to start judging actions, not labels. #ny #nyc #fyp #mta

Pulled up to the Blazers vs Nets game tonight and finally met the good brother Tyson Etienne in person. Crazy how life works. We first connected on Instagram through my activism, and tonight we finally got to lock in face to face. Real recognize real. He respects what I do on my court, and I respect what he does on his. Different arenas. Same mindset. And the best part about it? We both represent BROOKLYN. That Brooklyn grit hits different. 🫡 Salute to the young king. Keep cooking.

Everybody loves saying “tax the rich.” But here’s the real question… Why are some politicians so afraid to confront the people in power that they’re willing to put the middle class and working class on the table as leverage? That’s not leadership. If you believe the rich should pay more, then say it directly to Governor Hochul. Draw the line in the sand. Tell her— “If you don’t tax the rich… you’re not getting our support next election.” That’s how politics works. But using working families as political bargaining chips just to pressure someone else? That’s not bold. That’s coward politics. The middle class should never be collateral damage in someone else’s strategy. And the working class should never be used as leverage. Period 😤 #ny #nyc #mta #fyp

Black homeowners won’t cover City Hall’s spending gap, Mamdani wants them to pay. Queens residents are pushing back against Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s proposed 9.5% property tax increase, warning it could push working- and middle-class families out of the city. City Hall frames it as a necessary move to shore up revenue, but for homeowners, it feels like another bill. Across the borough, long-time residents say the hike threatens financial stability. Rising property taxes, combined with high utility costs, hit seniors and fixed-income households hardest. Organizers argue the increase would disproportionately impact Black and brown neighborhoods, undermining decades of equity and homeownership gains. This isn’t about fairness to the wealthy. It’s about revenue. When City Hall faces budget pressures, the instinct is to squeeze those who can least afford it. The people paying these taxes aren’t hedge funds, they’re families, retirees, and small-business owners keeping communities alive. New Yorkers already pay top-tier costs to live here. If every fiscal squeeze triggers a higher property tax, it won’t feel like responsible governance. It will feel like City Hall balancing its books one quarter at a time, straight out of residents’ pockets. nypost.com/2026/02/23/us-…

Mamdani’s social media “transparency” keeps New Yorkers blocked and squinting. Official posts about snow days, city updates, and public alerts are being filtered. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s press secretary, Joe Calvello, blocks users from commenting, limiting replies to followers or mentioned accounts only. Critics call it a blatant First Amendment problem, noting that government social accounts are modern public squares where constituents must be able to speak. Open dialogue isn’t optional, it’s the mayor’s core responsibility. When comments are censored, citizens can’t question policies, report issues, or hold leadership accountable. The promise of transparency is undermined, replaced with a curated conversation that favors control over engagement. This isn’t about personal preference. It’s about governance. If City Hall can’t tolerate pushback online, how can New Yorkers trust it to handle real-world crises, from snowstorms to safety threats? Without uncensored engagement, social media becomes a shield, not a platform, leaving residents in the dark and voiceless. nypost.com/2026/02/23/us-…

New Yorkers keep hearing the slogan “tax the rich.” But take a closer look at what’s actually being proposed. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pushing a plan to slash the estate tax threshold from $7 million to $750,000 while raising the top estate tax rate to 50%. Let’s be serious. In New York City, $750K is not a mansion. That’s a regular home in many neighborhoods. Which means this policy wouldn’t just hit billionaires. It could hit the transit worker in Queens. The teacher in Staten Island. The NYPD officer in the Bronx. The FDNY firefighter in Brooklyn. The sanitation worker who worked 30 years to buy a home. For most working families in New York, their home is the biggest asset they will ever own. And when policies make it harder to pass that home down to their children… That’s how generational wealth disappears. So the real question isn’t the slogan. The real question is this: When politicians say they’re targeting the rich… But their policies hit working homeowners across New York City… Who are they really taxing? #ny #nyc #mta #rich #fyp
