Obama Recognized the Brooklyn Public Library During Banned Books Week
This is Banned Books week and former President Barack Obama recognized the Brooklyn Library for sharing banned books online.
The Brooklyn Public Library is allowing teens/young adults worldwide 13-21 to have an e-card to access banned books in their collection. Since July 2021, 1,648 books have been banned nationwide and are in this collection. (Source)
Oklahoma is a red state that adopted state legislation to censor school reading material.
Summer Boismier, a teacher in Oklahoma shared the Brooklyn Library’s QR code above with her high school sophomores and she put on leave.
Ryan Walters attempted to have Boimier’s teaching license taken, so Boismier resigned from her job. (See here and here)
Boimier left her home because she was receiving harassing and threatening calls. (See here)

Crime Is Up in Bay Ridge – NY Post Article
The 95th Street Train Station and Crime in Bay Ridge was in the NY Post on September 24th. (See article)
A father hung up flyers in the station after his daughter was sexually assaulted by a man.
In the article, Justin Brannan said security was increased at the 95th Street station. Brannan hasn’t addressed the increase in crime or shared anything about the 95th Street station with Bay Ridge.
We went to the station twice this weekend to see if there was security….we didn’t see any security in the station or outside it. Maybe security is only there on the weekdays?
Michael Ragusa, the man challenging Brannan in 2023 was quoted: “Sexual crimes are skyrocketing here, and nothing’s being done,” Ragusa said. “The 68th Precinct and the 62nd Precinct, they do not respect [incumbent City Councilman] Justin Brannan, because he openly voted to defund the police.”

A Woman Was Raped in Dyker Heights
NYPD Crimestats are showing a rape on Thursday, September 15th at 9:00 pm on 86th Street and 10th Avenue near the golf course.
9/27 Update: – see here
You can see this crime statistic by going here to NYPD Crimestats Pull down Brooklyn South from the first pulldown menu and 68th Precinct from the second pulldown menu.
This community should have heard from every elected leader for this area. Was the perp was caught? What they are doing to make that area safe?
Neither Andrew Gounardes or Assembly member Frontus shared the information they received from the police with the community. It’s 10 days later and neither has said anything to the community.
We don’t need to know specifics about the victim – we need to know what the politicians are doing to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
When the last rape happened, Councilman Brannan said he would inform the community about crime, but he hasn’t mentioned this. Brannan waited weeks tell Bay Ridge about the surge of robberies at Bay Ridge businesss. (Loudlabs told Bay Ridge the news).
While Captain Tolson spoke about crime being up this week at the 68th Precinct meeting, he didn’t mention the rape.
Please say a prayer for the victim of this crime, but we need to do more than this Bay Ridge. Eight rapes in nine months is not good.

JewBelong Billboard in Sunset Park
I saw the bright pink billboard as we were driving home. It said, ” We’re just 75 years since the gas chambers. So, no,…a billboard calling out Jew hate isn’t an overreaction.”
The sign belongs to an organization named Jew Belong. (See site) JewBelong was set up to speak out against antisemitism and educate people.

Why is Moms Demand Action Standing With a Candidate Who Didn’t Take Action Against Guns in Bay Ridge or Dyker Heights?
In May, Max Rose tweeted this:
I responded to Rose on Twitter because Max Rose was silent when there were issues with guns in our community. I also wrote this to let our community know that this politician is not being authentic.
Today, I saw on Twitter that some mothers from Moms Demand Action were at Rose’s office and campaigning for him.
Didn’t they research Rose to find out if he was a gunsense candidate? Or was it just easier for them to say, “Oh he’s a Democrat and a military guy so he will stand up against guns.”
Spent the day canvassing in Bay Ridge B’lyn for @MaxRose4NY. Fun to be back in person talking to voters with this amazing crew of women. Some joining @MomsDemand for the 1st time! Gotta get ‘em some shirts!

We will hold our Gun Sense Majorities in The House AND Senate. pic.twitter.com/DtDchMY4Oy

This is not the first time we have seen Moms Demand Action back a candidate that was silent against guns in the community. Andrew Gounardes failed to stand up against these same issues. It’s easier for these men to stay silent and hope no one notices. Gounardes gave $50K before the primary to a gun group outside of our district (see here) They were doing endorsements at the time, so Andrew may have been trying to get endorsed.
I’ve tried emailing and calling Moms Demand Action for several years. I have not received a response. This may be a political group for Democrats, rather than a concerned group of parents. Whose funding this group and their red tshirts? Parents would call back – especially someone in Brooklyn!
A great day canvassing in Brooklyn for Max Rose with my fellow @MomsDemand volunteers! pic.twitter.com/radCnjH533

Two incidents where Max Rose did not respond to guns in our community:
a) A man living in Dyker Heights used an AR-15 on his neighbors home because he thought his wife was cheating. He called the police on himself and they picked him up. Since he was in the Army, he was released. Max Rose was silent. (See story in the news)
b) Sammy Hamden, a Bay Ridge business owner was shot at while he was setting up his business. The 68th Precinct responded and they captured the guy. Yet, politicians in our area failed to contact Hamden, so Hamden went to the news to alert Bay Ridge. (See here)

Max Rose Opened an Office on 3rd Avenue
So many storefronts are closed in Bay Ridge and Max Rose chose to rent Norma’s Arts and Crafts Supplies at 7813 3rd Avenue.
Why that place? Norma’s closed in March 2022. She made it through the pandemic, but closed in March after her rent was raised. The landlord could have been receiving rent all these months from Norma. Max Rose doesn’t know that because he doesn’t know Bay Ridge.
—————————-
Max Rose sent out postcards which are not truthful:
Max Rose has never blasted any Democrat in Brooklyn. He stands and takes pictures with Justin Brannan all the time.
It took two years for Max Rose to speak out against bail reform. When a woman was sexually assaulted in the 95th Street train station, the news reported that the alleged attacker benefitted from bail reform. Max Rose didn’t do or say anything. (See here)
Andrew Gounardes gerrymandered Brooklyn and voted for unconstitutional district maps to help Rose (the courts had to change the district maps to make them more fair.)
Max Rose wasn’t a good politician on guns. When he was a Congressman, a man in Dyker Heights shot an AR–15 at his neighbors homes. The man didn’t even go to jail. Max Rose didn’t stand up for the community or do anything. (Info)
