Under President Trump's leadership, we have a generational opportunity for a reformation. My goal is to focus on turning the train around and driving in the opposite direction.

Greitzer helped launch the Village Independent Democrats and quickly became a key strategist in the local insurgency that chipped away at Tammany Hall's machine in the early 1960s.

"Mr. Buria told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events," the Times reported, citing three unnamed officials familiar with the exchange.

It's time we start using the tremendous wealth in this state to invest in people's needs.

Bronx politics has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Since 2006, only Carl Heastie, Jeff Dinowitz, and maybe Jose M. Serrano remain elected. The demographic shift is evident, with areas like Throggs Neck and Morris Park now represented by Latino women, reflecting a growing Latino population, particularly Dominicans.

Dolores Huerta, at age 88, danced unapologetically with a group of friends at a gay bar, embodying a liberating spirit that challenged traditional views on aging and identity.

I was talking to [the two veterans] on the rope line, and we were just talking about like, this is just deja vu again, right? And there are so many Latino families right now that are seeing what's happening in Iran and they're like They're doing it again.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul offered encouraging words to the state's immigrant community during her recent State of the State address. She voiced support for expanding protections and legal options for immigrants in response to the federal government's evolving immigration enforcement efforts. Her support is necessary. However, it is imperative that the governor and the Legislature work on comprehensive legislation and financial resources to protect all New Yorkers.

By the mid-1980s, the AIDS epidemic had completely gripped the nation. Its victims, primarily queer men, were dying by the thousands. Fear and misinformation reigned supreme, and our government refused to respond to the crisis. Reverend Charles Angel, a community leader and activist who was living with HIV himself, recognized that queer men of color faced additional disparities due to cultural norms and societal inequities.

A confrontation outside the mayor's residence on Saturday-and the arrest on federal terrorism charges of two alleged Muslim extremists-offered a vivid reminder of the ways in which perceptions of crime and public safety remain central to New Yorkers' sense of their city. And their sense of how New York's politicians are performing.

As the white friend at this event, I'm gonna go ahead and say to the women who look like me - to the men who look like me - it's incredibly important to remember that so much of what we love in America comes from Black culture. And white people need to show up for Black people the way they show up to be entertained by Black culture.

White genocide' Carl is a right-wing firebrand who played a minor role in the first Trump administration and has more recently gained, depending on your vantage, kudos or notoriety for his theory that Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart, as his book's subtitle puts it. He believes, for example, that a White genocide is underway and endorses the Great Replacement Theory (according to which elites in America and Europe are intentionally encouraging immigration to replace indigenous whites).

Could she be the First Black woman to be president? Kamala, or rather her platform, was hardly inventive. When engaged on its fundamentals, it was largely conservative. Not conservative like Charlie Kirk... conservative meaning, it preserved many pieces of America as is-just as a conservationist preserves the trees of a forest. It was a platform that largely fit hand-in-glove with Bidenomics: protect corporate global interests, overfund all military and law enforcement, and yes-promote electric cars, along with a dash of maternal health reform, abortion protections, and a short-lived national rent cap promise.

The reporting landed on the same day that a group of Senate Democrats launched an investigation into Chavez-De-Remer's policy moves at the Labor Department, accusing her agency of showing "disregard for workers' lives" by "rolling back protections that keep workers safe and hobbling the agency that is tasked with overseeing worker safety."

A New York City councilmember known for her fervent criticism of Israel faced harsh questioning at a recent gathering of the Democratic Socialists of America - because she had also spoken out against Hamas, as well as supporters of the terrorist organization who demonstrated outside New York synagogues. The comments came during Councilmember Shahana Hanif's interview earlier this month with the NYC-DSA Socialists in Office committee.

Since Richard Nixon was forced to resign, powerful people in both political parties have worked assiduously to ensure that their leaders would escape the consequences of their actions. Trump has evaded punishment for crimes both low (campaign-finance violations, for which he was convicted, though he will serve no time thanks to his 2024 victory) and high (his attempted overthrow of the federal government in the aftermath of his 2020 election loss, for which he was spared by the Supreme Court's decision to grant him a kingly immunity).
