Former Mayor Eric Adams says he came to march with a delegation in the Celebrate Israel Parade after Mamdani announced he would skip the event to send a message of solidarity. “If that message was loud and clear, I would not have to be here. I would be just marching as another spectator. But clearly that message is not loud and clear. Antisemitism is growing, and we need to stop it.”

“From a governance standpoint, we seem to be treated like any other neighborhood — like Cobble Hill or Boerum Hill — and we are actually more like Times Square,” said Jamel Talbi, a 15-year Dumbo resident and condo-board president. “We are at our wits’ end.” Talbi should know; he lives on the cobblestoned stretch of Washington Street leading from the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian walkway to the waterfront that is said to be the most Instagrammed location on the planet. Talbi launched an 11-page online petition, directed at elected officials and signed by nearly 400 Dumbo residents, which includes a list of demands one might expect from folks living in a neighborhood so dense with tourists that it’s sometimes hard to push a stroller down the sidewalk: restrictions on street vendors and tour buses, for instance, and a crowd-management plan. While the petition is just the latest in an ongoing crusade to tame the streets, tension in the neighborhood is building up, and for good reason. “People are anxious because there is a World Cup village under the Brooklyn Bridge this summer, the 250th anniversary of our independence, the Macy’s fireworks, and the tall ships coming,” said Lincoln Restler, the city councilperson representing the area. “They look ahead to June and July and say, ‘Holy shit! This is going to get a lot worse!’” Some residents are now taking cues from global anti-tourism tactics — such as Amsterdam’s “Stay Away” campaign discouraging British tourists from traveling to the city to party and Seoul’s visiting hours for Bukchon Hanok Village — and suggesting measures far beyond the usual.

📺 May 27, 1994: Talk show “The Arsenio Hall Show” concluded its five-year run in syndication. It proved there was room for someone in late night other than Johnny Carson. Hall had served as a guest host for Fox’s “The Late Show” following the dismissal… instagr.am/p/DY3GDHYi3TI/
@Grimpachi_ I understand what you’re saying but my point is people be forcing divisions 😭 In NYC we grew up mixed in with everybody, there was no Puerto Rican vs Black woman debate i never experienced that only on the internet, it’s strange.
In case you didn’t think the AntiZohran rally was both racist and a Republican campaign rally.
