18 years ago today, Aaliyah, my #EarlyShow 28-week, 2 lb. #MiracleBabyNetwork daughter was born. I remember being worried that being born preemie like that, she wasn't going to make it. She's an adult in college now, so I’m really thankful that God had different plans! ❤️🥰🎉🎂

My #MiracleBabyNetwork daughter Aaliyah celebrated her 1st birthday on the night we all made history by electing @POTUS44. Today, we celebrate her 18th birthday by making history TOGETHER by voting for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ☑️🗳️✊🏾

Tonight we honored a family of schools that has served the NE Bronx for 60 YEARS! Susan E. Wagner is where I first found my voice and where I first stepped up to serve as an advocate and #HeadStartParent. It has been an honor to serve on the Board for the past 11 years. #MaggieAlston #JoyceJames

And speaking of hypocrisy… should we also rip Cuomo for maintaining US citizenship, citing our country’s “it’s not lawful to commit sexual harassment” policy?

What’s the point if they can’t bring them to school because of the Internet Connected Device ban… nypost.com/2025/09/08/u...

Under Article 92 of the UCMJ, an order is unlawful if it directs a service member to commit a crime, violates the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, or military regulations, especially targeting civilians, and service members have a duty to disobey such orders.

About sums up the past few days…

My children attended Head Start programs with my youngest daughters going on to graduate 1 and 2 years early from HS and are now both in college. It’s outrageous that society votes against its best interests not expecting it to hurt children. gothamist.com/news/nyc-los...

I think about the political violence that is consuming our nation and I can’t help but wonder why is it that we’re willing to ban books but not guns…

And how does that work when Dems have a supermajority in the NYS Legislature? gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...

I just bought this book. It’s a shame that 50years later we can draw this EXACT same picture and it would be just as true as it was on July 24, 1976.

It’s crazy when the only people we know for certain will pay their taxes on a couple billion dollars in income are lottery winners…

Is this the same “Creepy Bill” that chimed in on the email chain when Mean Girl tried to have me investigated for saying, “While Queens Academy for American Studies students are saying hurry up and open our new school, who’s looking out for Newcomers HS?” www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/02/n...

For really the first time in 5 years on the PEP and another 2 on CEC 11, and since I’m now in the “Former School Board Members Club”, I’m going to sit this month out. Instead, I’m going out with my camera for the 1st time since 2019 to do some “recreational shooting”…

Absolutely amazing interview with Former NYC Public Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza! youtu.be/q4ItpyBMlPY?...

I was counting coins in my change jar and came across this. Does anyone know enough about coins to know if this oddly struck 1890 penny is worth more than $0.01?

Look what I found lurking in the bushes at the Home Depot on Gun Hill Rd. It’s really a shame this is what we’re reduced to nowadays. Our immigrant communities must be protected. I’m directing this to @zohrankmamdani as well as the rest of our elected officials who aren’t on this platform.

Had an amazing time fishing in the LI Sound with the veterans community that I’m proud to be a part of! Thanks Commander Meggett! And caught a half dozen keepers! 🎣

Gone Fishing…

Interesting how this doesn’t get reported in the local media but happened in Parkchester. In 2025, you’d think that police forces would stop training their dogs like it’s 1925. Not that police dogs attacking Black people was acceptable back then either. atlantablackstar.com/2025/08/03/n...

Thanks @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov for meeting with families and caregivers to discuss the future of free childcare and Head Start programs for New Yorkers. It’s good to know this issue is being taken seriously at a time when 80% of NYC families can’t afford full-time childcare.

We still doing this crazy “genetic” shit in 2025?

The headlines only tell part of the story. Our community needs support. Poverty significantly contributes to crime through multiple pathways, including economic desperation, lack of opportunity, and social disorganization. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Hey friends! Just upgraded the camera on my desk and I need to mount it to my teleprompter. Does anyone have access to a 3D printer to help me out?

Hi everyone. This 32” x 24” flower from the community I love is now framed and prominently displayed on my wall and will forever serve as a reminder of my service and my sincere hope that I did right by all of you. I wanted to say thanks! 🌸🌺❤️

Sitting in the car listening to “He Got Game” by Public Enemy. Interesting how the lyrics are just as relevant today as they were almost 30 years ago. What song does that for you? I want to create a playlist.

Nah. Please stay right where you are. And hopefully, Alaskans will dismiss you from politics for good in 2028… thehill.com/homenews/sen...

As an American, New Yorker, and Bronxite who deeply loves this country, served in its defense, and believes in the ideals its supposed to stand for, please forgive me if I'm not in much of a celebratory mood today.

Well there you go…

Y'all keep giving Murkowski too much credit as some kind of moderate. Her especially cruel message here is literally, “I’m going to use OUR tax money to make sure MINE eat and have healthcare while YOURS starve and die.”

Today is my first day as an official member of the “Former School Board Members Club”!

With diplomas and transcripts in hand, I can proudly say that my youngest daughters are now products of @nycschools.bsky.social! 🎉🎉❤️❤️

I believe that establishment politicians are terrified because a new and younger generation of New Yorkers are saying, “we want something different”, and are willing to give that change a try. But rather than respect that, the old guard is willing to trash the voters’ choice.

OMG! If we the people don't just shut up and bow down, the whining no-tax paying rich people are going to run away and take the tax money the rest of us paid with them… Now where have we heard that before? 🤔

New Yorkers across this city made a clear choice. So WHY is the Democratic Party Establishment going “all in” against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social? Are they saying they don't respect the votes of “we the people”? Just wondering…

While I’m sitting here waiting for this commencement to start, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. While my children have so far all graduated from High School, not being home means I missed a lot. This is the first time I get to see any of my children graduate in person… 🥲

Today’s the day! We’re on our way to their commencement! It feels like yesterday and forever at the same time! Look at my girls all grow’d up! I’m so proud of you both! 🎉🥰❤️

The PEOPLE have spoken! I want to congratulate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on his Primary performance tonight! I also want to call out the “Democratic Establishment” for lining up behind the very same person y'all ran out of Albany 4 years ago! Says a lot who people actually represent…

This ain't just about NYC Mayor…
