Fireworks Set Off Outside Brooklyn MDC Jail

I had no idea that there was an annual New Years Eve demonstration outside of the federal prison in Brooklyn (and in other places in the US too)

I’ve never seen a newspaper report about it in Brooklyn.

.

New Yorkers went to 29th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn and stood outside of MDC Prison making noising and set off fireworks for people being held there.

Those setting off the fireworks yelled, “Free them All.”

Those detained in the facility tapped on the windows and turned the lights on and off to signal to their friends that they saw the fireworks and join in the festivities from afar.

Happy New Year, Bay Ridge!

Bay Ridge, I wish you a year of good health and happiness.

Thank you for all of your messages and tips to help your neighbors. We realize how fortunate we are to have great neighbors who look out for each other.

I have loved meeting many of you this year and I hope 2022 allows us all to get together in a normal way again!

I used Google Translate on it and it translated to: Yemen Jewelry.

The store window display has many beautiful gold necklaces – everything is very sparkly!

Good luck to the owners of this beautiful place!

Malliotakis Helped People Become Citizens

Nicole Malliotakis shared that she helped more people become citizens. I am really happy to see this as people should have the ability to obtain citizenship.

Congresswoman Malliotakis has really worked hard to help people. I wish we saw more political offices stepping up and doing the paperwork and follow up for immigrants.

It was disappointing to see Councilman Brannan sponsor legislation to give green card holders the right to vote (see here), rather than to take the time to help people become citizens!
