So mister sliwa what have you been up to since the election?

Curtis Sliwa C @CurtisSliwa X.com Pigeons don't deserve the hate they get! Nancy and I have rescued pigeons countless times over the years. Injured, abandoned, or simply in trouble in a city that too often looks past them. Every single time, we were reminded that these birds are gentle, intelligent, and resilient. All pigeons lives matter! For centuries, pigeons served people. They carried messages in wartime, helped save lives, and were trusted when nothing else worked. They were valued, respected, and depended on. Now, in a city they helped build and survive alongside us, they are mocked and mistreated. Pigeons are not pests. They are survivors of our streets, just like so many New Yorkers. They live where we live, endure what we endure, and adapt without complaint. If any animal represents New York City, it is the nidan Taudh auto ite hama and

If I wasn't so well known, would there have been a rectification? I am afraid that many small accounts are stolen on a daily basis and nothing happens. But for a copy to be more widely distributed than the original is a very bad symptom. Without focusing on anyone, I think that some big accounts hardly create original content and just post other people's content, often without quoting the author, and that's very uncool. Respect and honesty above all else. Let's play fair.
