A new housing lottery has launched for "affordable" units in a new luxury building yet when almost 75% of the area's residents make less than the minimum required income, is it truly affordable?

Nope, nope, definitivamente no. This just won't do. Not at all. And anyone attempting to minimize the genuine outrage & anger this misstep has garnered (not only in me but in so many others) you need to step back, stop talking, actively listen, and learn PUNTO
Mamdani is opting for a smaller breakfast instead of a full-scale fiesta ahead of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, according to two people familiar with the plans.
Puerto Rican leaders are up in arms over the break with tradition, and there's a potential scheduling conflict with Adriano Espaillat's breakfast reception ... where he’s honoring Nydia Velázquez. cityandstateny.com/politics/…

You are defending the open killing of everyday Americans for exercising their Constitutional rights.
First, the mother of a 6 year old child. Now, an ICU nurse to veterans. Both shot at nearly point blank range.
All without reflection or remorse. People will not forget this.
When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:
A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.
This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.
The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

It’s bullshit too. See how it’s not hard to say? I also condemn Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian targeting pretty regularly!
Funny how some of us can condemn racism and dehumanization across the board but a sure lot of people seem to get tripped up over that.

Six months after breaking ground, the South Bronx’s tallest building at 355 Exterior Street is already 4 stories high—rising above the Deegan and reshaping the Mott Haven skyline.
But as always, we have to ask—who is this really for?

Amazing how every Trump rally gets wall-to-wall coverage — but when 36,000 people show up to protest him with Bernie and AOC, it barely makes a headline.
We get endless diner stories about ‘forgotten’ Trump voters. Where are the stories of Americans left behind by the GOP?
