This flies in the face of CUNY's academic freedom statement: www1.cuny.edu/sites/cunyuf... Governor Hochul & Chancellor Matos Rodriguez support genocide & apartheid by censoring their inquiry. They should reverse this decision immediately and resign.

Just heard from James Gardner, former law clerk to Erie County Court Judge Kenneth Case. He tells me he has been endorsed by the Erie County Republican Committee to run for mayor of Buffalo. Gardner lost his bid to be Erie County DA to current DA Mike Keane last year.

The court system should be holding striking jail workers in contempt for violating a court order that declared their strike illegal. This court imposes fines & jailtime for those detained in the Orleans County Jail yet celebrates illegal conduct by jail employees www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

"Flynn voiced concerns over the CIU’s findings and made it clear that [his] office would oppose the exoneration motions. The Erie DA worried aloud about public fallout from accusing a retired officer of coercing witnesses to give false statements and other possible misconduct."

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This is - and I do not say this lightly - FUCKING INSANE. "Yeah, we illegally withheld YOUR money, but then at some point it magically became ours and returning it would constitute a gift, because it actually belongs to us now"

Laughable. Just a month ago he said he wouldn't seek an increase in state aid. The hotel tax requires an act of the state legislature. Byron Brown counted on a hotel tax and asked Albany for an aid increase, but neither came to fruition www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

Dear @reptimkennedy.bsky.social, Hyperlinks don't work when you print out a letter and mail it to a constituent. It would be wiser to spell out your newsletter's URL & social media handles. Sincerely, Your constituent P.S.—This boilerplate reply is so vague, I don't know what it's in response to.

The governor’s announcement appears to expand New York’s ability to cooperate with federal immigration authorities — but it’s not clear if the state has actually changed its policy.

Never talk to cops, except to ask for a warrant. Cops can lie to you, but it is illegal to lie to them. Never open your door for cops, unless they have a warrant signed by a judge, which you should ask them to slide under the door. Never give permission for a search. If they ask, say no.

Even though they're elected to represent everyone living in their districts, establishment politicians like the crooks on the Buffalo Common Council always put the desires of homeowners above the needs of those who don't own homes www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

There has been speculation since Scanlon took office late last year that he would run in Nov. on the GOP and/or the Conservative lines. He was asked about it this last weekend at the @ecdems forum and was noncommittal. Read more on the exchange here: www.investigativepost.org/2025/01/29/5...

How is it that Erie County's 6-5 Dem/Rep legislature passes about twice as many local laws as does the City of Buffalo's 9-0 Dem/Rep legislature?

The acting mayor's chief lawyer says that the acting mayor might have done something illegal. Did he not ask the advice of his own law department before forcing out the Buffalo police commissioner?

The only budget-balancing proposal Buffalo's acting mayor offered in an interview with Investigative Post was a "soft hiring freeze." Tomorrow's common council agenda includes 15 appointments 4 of the positions in the mayor's office don't appear in the city budget & have the maximum salary allowable
