95th Street R Train in Brooklyn This Morning
This morning I counted 11 people using the R Train for shelter & warmth; it also came with a huge pile of human feces by the 95th street exit. Progress?

February 7, 2022Super Gerrymandered Brooklyn – Asian Senate District Formed
There is a new Asian Senate seat coming to Brooklyn. Yes, that is what it is being called in 2022.
You can find out if you are in the new district by trying your address here.
The Democrats super gerrymandered Brooklyn so that Andrew Gounardes would have more Democrats in his district. Prior to being in office Andrew Gounardes cried on social media about the Republicans gerrymandering Brooklyn. Now GOUNARDES IS SILENT because this helps him.
No one is talking about this new district made based to divide people.

February 6, 2022Elijah Was Killed at NYC Animal Care & Control – Even Though Two Rescues Wanted to Save Him
The bulldog in the photo above was named Elijah.
Elijah was at the Brooklyn Animal Care and Control (#134918), but wasn’t adopted.
Two animal rescues wanted to save Elijah. NYCACC terminated the two-year-old dog’s life on February 4th.
*A DONOR OFFERED $1000 TO THE RESCUE THAT PULLED ELIJAH TO SAFETY. (More info on Elijah can be seen here)
While every animal can’t be saved, I don’t understand why New York Animal Care and Control wouldn’t want to partner with all of these rescues.
This is not the first time this has happened.
A 34-year contract was made between NYC and Animal Care and Control. Justin Brannan was the head of the NYC Council Contracts Committee. He told activists he would look into it, but he didn’t write any articles or do anything about the strange contract. (More info here)
I’ve asked both Assembly members Mathylde Frontus and Mike Tannousis to consider co-sponsoring A.7155 (Seen here), but neither have.
This bill enacts the Shelter Animal Rescue Act, which requires the release of a shelter animal to a rescue group upon request of the rescue group prior to the euthanasia of such animal.
It would stop what happened to Elijah and give dogs and cats a chance to be adopted..
If you live in NYC, you can find your Assembly member here.

February 6, 2022Polar Bears Swam in Coney Island Today
Dutch Mazz shared this beautiful live stream of the Coney Island Polar Bears swimming today in Brooklyn.
I didn’t realize that the members of the Polar Bears met several times a year to swim, I thought it was just on New Years Day.
Coney Island looks a lot cleaner than it looks during the Summer.

Once again, antisemitism has no place in my district, or anywhere for that matter. No person should be assaulted because of their religion. Absolutely no one.

This is very sad and it must be scary. The people in this area must be walking around watching their back to make sure no one is going to hurt them.
