Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

More affordable housing in Brooklyn is great, but $62.3 million for 85 apartments works out to $733k per apartment—and the city already owned the land. ​We're never going to scale up public housing construction if we can't bring these costs down.
We’re proud to announce yet another affordable housing development in our district! We’re delivering rents in Bed-Stuy for as low as $703 a month for a one bedroom and up to $956 a month for a three bedroom - that’s literally unheard of! Thank you to our housing partners @BKBPReynoso , @stnicksalliance @bedstuyrestoration, @nychousing for helping us get this done.

City Council election debate on @NY1’s Road to City Hall with @errollouis was 9 years ago today. I wish I could say even though I didn’t win the election, the neighborhood and the City are doing great. But I can’t. #WeCanDoBetter

Ritchie Torres is a fundraising machine without a competitive race - so he's helped deliver $10 million to fellow Dems this cycle, his campaign says. From the Heard Around Town newsletter:

In 2021, Israel's short-lived anti-Netanyahu government included for the first time an independent Arab party, Ra'am. The backlash to that catapulted anti-Arab politicians like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich into the next government. The backlash to that government appears to have resulted today in a record showing for Israel's Arab parties. As is always the case in politics, the story is never over, it is still being written.

Terrible TNR story Yes, it's sad that a ~dozen FEC holdouts are confused...but why not interview the thousands who already happily moved, still waiting on the Dirty Dozen to move? Or why not interview the 1000 families on waitlist for the new public housing now delayed at FEC?

That’s $375,000 per apartment unit to renovate btw. I’ll keep pointing this out until I die or until New York amends vacancy control to fix its broken housing system. Whichever comes first. gothamist.com/news/in-east-b…
