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

Yo fam you might want to go back and read the date on that before you start taking shots. That was the 2024 primary. I had a hard time voting for a President complicit in genocide. That said, the DNC made the choice for us at the convention & I certainly voted for VP Harris in the general election.

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?

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.

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…

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”…

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! 🎣

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.

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?

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.

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.”
