This is so very good.
@NYDailyNews "Some" should be deleted from the headline.
Some disabled foster children in New York City’s care aren’t receiving individual Social Security payments Even though Mayor Adams’ administration rolled out policy designed to let vulnerable kids use federal benefits to build up personal savings trib.al/lhoskNZ
@NYDailyNews "Anna Blondell, a Legal Aid Society attorney representing city foster care kids, noted other states and cities, including Washington, D.C. and Arizona, have developed systems using different forms of savings accounts into which as much as $100,000 in SSI benefits"
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Trump believes his authority in a second-term would be absolute. He would wreak vengeance against enemies. He would crush press freedoms. He would gut the mechanisms of government. None of this is speculation. These are things Trump is exclaiming openly. Pay attention.
The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich. If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio. That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.
I'm 55 years old. I've been contributing to Social Security and Medicare my ENTIRE working life. I will NEVER abide by trump, or ANY politician, cutting those benefits, that I've busted my ass for, so they can give millionaires and billionaires huge tax cuts. FUCK THAT BULLSHIT.
Millions $$$ to pay for police misconduct - but not disciplining officers. Millions to flood the subways w/ militarized police - but not improved service Millions for overtime for cops - but no money for libraries, parks, or school lunches These are value statements.
Most library branches across the city would have to cut back to opening just five days a week under Mayor Eric Adams's proposed budget, the heads of the three library systems warned on Tuesday. hellgatenyc.com/libraries-forc…
@lostinacanyon @ASFleischman Memories are altered with time. Evidence goes missing. The ability to investigate is hindered.
Recent polling shows that 3 in 5 Americans now say corporate greed is a “major cause” of inflation. And rightfully so: Corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023. During the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove 11% of price growth.
COPS CAN LEGALLY LIE TO YOU! I am a career public defender breaking down the 5 most common types of police deception. Check it out: youtu.be/-l3_Kd5HhKE?si… via @YouTube
I got one of the worst calls you can get from a friend this morning as a public defender. And I am truly so glad she called me so she didn’t end up getting scammed. PLEASE SHARE SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO OTHERS! youtu.be/l_6ceJ2UHcw?si…
THE UNITED STATES INCARCERATES OVER 2.2 MILLION PEOPLE A 500% INCREASE OVER THE LAST FORTY YEARS AND PEOPLE LIE AND TELL YOU THAT JAIL AND PRISON KEEP US SAFE BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY DON’T OR WE’D BE THE SAFEST NATION IN THE WORLD AND WE’RE NOT SO WHY DO WE KEEP GIVING COPS MORE MONEY
This is insanity.
BREAKING: The NYPD has created 2 full-time posts in Bogota, Colombia and Tuscon, AZ — expanding its list of ‘foreign’ outposts to 16. The NYC Police Foundation pays for these deployments.
"With this veto, the mayor is threatening New Yorkers’ safety to advance his own ideological and personal political agenda." The Public Advocate's statement on Mayor Adams vetoing policing transparency bill continues below. [1/x]
Solitary confinement is torture. It often results in lasting psychological damage, and undermines public safety both inside and outside New York City's jails. As we grapple with the daily horrors at jails like Rikers, we urge the City Council to override the Mayor’s veto.
As expected, the Mayor vetoed 549A. He's on the wrong side of history, human rights & public safety. We're grateful for the Speaker & Council, and look forward to them overriding the veto. Once law, 549A will stop torture, reduce violence and save lives. drive.google.com/file/d/1H7pD0Y…
So NYPD released this video to show that it acted properly in stopping city council member Not sure it shows that. But what it definitely shows is the NYPD's selective release. The NYPD aired with video within 24 hours But it often *never* releases footage of police shootings
Here is body-worn camera video of the interaction:
The law provides for the allowable amount of tint. The only way to measure it is to use a tint meter. None of that noted in the vehicle report, a form that is fillable on dept smartphones and tablets.
Excessive tint is a violation of the vehicle traffic law. When officers stop a vehicle with this type of violation, as the video of the incident involving Council member Salaam shows, it creates a safety hazard by obstructing the new inside the vehicle. 1 of 2
