JOIN US. This Thursday at 5pm for a vigil at the NYC Veterans Administration Healthcare Center at 423 East 23rd Street to honor the memory of Minneapolis VA ICU Nurse Alex Pretti, an AFGE union member, executed by the Trump administration's not so secret police force.

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures.

The effort to redesign McGuinness Blvd. was jump started in 2021 after a beloved local teacher was killed there by a hit-and-run driver. But that seemed to matter less to former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin, who stopped the safety plan in exchange for money and a TV cameo. buff.ly/GDuiJLf
