Please join me in leaving this platform tomorrow, January 20, 2025. It is dominated by hate & disinformation, fosters abuse & harassment, and censors journalists who offend its majority owner & sole director, a Nazi-sympathizing oligarch who does not deserve your clicks and views
World's largest concentration camp
One of the most genocidal policies is barely discussed in media. I cannot wrap my head around it. Many people have no idea how hard it is for anyone to simply be allowed to leave. If a person wanted to escape starvation, Israel simply refuses to let them walk out of Gaza.

You may find a Bluesky link in my bio, which I believe to be a more welcoming and equitable platform. Message me if you'd like to connect another way.

This may be the most important post you read today.
As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, below is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE.

For anyone interested in submitting a Freedom of Information Law Request (FOIL) with the City of Buffalo there are 2 different sites.

Looks like the $2.5 million ARP dollars that the city will likely have to return to the feds was from a fund for forgiving property taxes, garbage user fees, & sewer rent arrears. Byron Brown announced this fund in his 2024 State of the City speech & @BFLO_CC approved it in July
Looks like Acting Mayor Scanlon's fake audit and "double triple quadruple checking" was a failure. He supplied no accounting to @BFLO_CC members, who foolishly took him for his word. He should resign
"Several active and retired law enforcement sources tell 2 On Your Side that the shake-up in BPD leadership is related to the upcoming mayoral election and a bid for potential PBA endorsement."
A few updates in the Gramaglia/Scanlon story:
- Gramaglia states in his resignation letter that Scanlon requested his departure.
- Scanlon maintains he didn’t.
- Rivera hopes it’s not political.
- PBA has held Scanlon fundraisers.

"I know that he and I both went to the finest high school Western New York, Bishop Timon St Jude," PBA President John Davidson said of Scanlon—but so did Gramaglia, who Davidson called "a catastrophic failure"

The Buffalo Police Department will have no deputy commissioners if Dawn Kent retires before the acting commissioner, who took office yesterday, can appoint a new deputy commissioner. The city charter requires two

The mayor's office is hard at work producing political campaign material for its current unelected occupant. Use of a city office for personal benefit is prohibited by the Buffalo Code of Ethics and by the Hatch Act of 1939, "An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities"
This week I'm profiling Buffalo's acting mayor, Chris Scanlon. Today is a political biography. Wednesday Scanlon discusses his plans to address city finances, and Thursday a host of other pressing issues. New at @ipostnews:

I guess not! Apparently the police have been managed so poorly that the acting mayor just fired the commissioner. Or was this a political move to end inconvenient internal affairs proceedings under Gramaglia? Either way, @BFLO_CC should be asking questions & telling us the truth
Wow! I guess this means the Buffalo police department is running perfectly and there have been zero issues or incidents worth discussing! That’s great!

The Park District member of Buffalo's school board, Terri Schuta, has declined reelection & endorsed a Republican—Carl Paladino's 2-time campaign manager—to replace her. Paladino has the rare distinction of having been removed from the board by the state education commissioner

The issue of homelessness is a growing problem, not only across the country but also here in Buffalo. A local agency wants to add another emergency shelter, but not everyone is in favor. trib.al/VF7vEf3

A national civil rights group has sued a WNY real estate firm in federal court, alleging violations of the Fair Housing Act.
Charles Glander of Avant Realty denies the claims.
More details in the complaint on our website and tonight on @WGRZ.

In his press conference announcing his replacement of BPD Commissioner Gramaglia with Deputy Commissioner Alphonso Wright, Acting @MayorScanlon fails to grasp that education & quality of life *make* people safe. Safety cannot be attained without them or imposed from the top down
