This is long overdue.
Schneps reporters do crucial work covering our neighborhoods and holding power to account. Many of the journalists who document the challenges New Yorkers face are struggling to afford life here themselves. I am proud to stand in solidarity with the unionized Schneps reporters as they organize for a livable wage, affordable health care, and the dignity every worker deserves.

Is it just me or does Andrew Cuomo’s return to politics smack of Don Rafael Montero’s return to California in The Mask of Zorro (1998)?

Trump wishes he could get reactions like this.

I really miss the days (not very long ago) when taxi drivers didn’t need GPS. You could tell the old guys any cross streets and they would nod and head the right direction.

I want to know how Luigi stayed so fit with all those nails in his back.

Why did Luigi stop at Pennsylvania. I would have been in hiding in a cave in Turkmenistan by now if I had shot a man on Wednesday.

Okay but this guy is STRUGGLING
The Kurds are the last hope of Christian minorities in Aleppo, #Syria. If the Christians fall into the hands of Turkey/al Qaeda, it’ll be ISIS all over again. They’ll be forced to convert, their churches will either be destroyed or turned into mosques, and they’ll be killed or will have to flee and leave their historical lands. That’s the reality. Rather than strengthen the Kurdish position, Washington tankies are cheering on al Qaeda/Turkey. Their reasoning? They hate to see the Kurds successful and to “weaken” Assad/Iran. If Assad is completely gone in Aleppo (which looks like it is for now and Iran is weakened) that means your only alternative are the Kurds not al Qaeda/Turkey. Siding with the latter will lead to the persecution of the Christians. Here’s your Turkish backed al Qaeda “Syrian rebels” toppling a Christmas tree in Aleppo.

I can’t believe I have to work on Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises and Committee on Land Use Votes on City of Yes for Housing Opportunity Day.
Happy Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises and Committee on Land Use Votes on City of Yes for Housing Opportunity Day to all who celebrate!

I’m not saying the MTA does a bad job of running buses, but it wouldn’t kill them to take notes from the whoever runs the jitney shuttle over the GW bridge.
