Justin Brannan Shared That Food Stamps Were Being Cut by The Government – They Are Not
It’s easy to tweet. Elected officials know they can’t quote an article without checking the source of information.
Councilman Brannan could have called someone to check before he wrote online. (See here) There are going to be real cuts that he will need to speak out against, but creating hysteria over incorrect information is ridiculous.
Brannan wouldn’t share the information about a homeless shelter in his community, but he will run to X and write this because the Democrats like playing politics online.

This corner needs a light as there are several accidents per year here. Residents say that drivers fly by the stop sign on 74th Street. It shouldn’t take a fatality to get a light.
We put a request to the NYC DOT. You can see it here. (Incident #DOT-682779-X6K1)

Minor Handcuffed on 86th Street in Bay Ridge
A high school student was handcuffed by the 68th Precinct police on 86th Street between 4th and 5th Avenue.
Many people were filming the police. One woman felt that the police did not have a reason to arrest the boy and that they had to call his mother before they could take him in.
After the cops handcuffed the boy, he threw himself on the ground. The officers put him in the back of their SUV and the boy was banging on the windows.

Two Brooklyn Churches Came Together in Prayer
A friend of mine shared the unique experience he had at St. Ephrem Church yesterday. He told me that St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Dyker Heights was at St. Ephrem’s for a ecumenical prayer service.
Father Robert Adamo, the Pastor of St. Ephrem’s and Mother Suzanne M. Coles, the head of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church wanted Christians to come together and pray.
The people at St. Ephrem’s told me the music that was played was incredible and they really enjoyed the two communities coming together.
I noticed other people from our community talking about this unique experience on Facebook as well.
This is how the event was advertised:
Maybe they will have more events like this!

Bay Ridge Had More Crashes and Injuries in 2023 and 2024, Say the Truth Andrew Gounardes!
Bay Ridge, we all know that our streets are less safe. Senator Gounardes knows that no one is looking at the data, so he doesn’t share it.
The NYC Crashmap shows that there were more crashes and injuries in Community Board 10’s District in 2023 and then again in 2024.
(See map for Community Board 10 here – adjust on dates on the right)
2024: 6 people died. 686 injuries. 502 total crashes.
2023 – 9 people died. 555 injuries. 431 total crashes.
2022 – 3 people died. 525 injuries. 404 total crashes.
2021 – 6 people died. 522 injuries. 426 total crashes.
The Pandemic Year: 2020 – 1 person died. 476 injuries. 361 crashes.
Speed cameras aren’t helping us in Bay Ridge. Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan were lobbied over these cameras.
In August 2022 when American Traffic Solutions renewed their contract, Andrew Gounardes accepted $2,500 from American Traffic Solutions. In 2023, more than three times the people died on our streets.
In 2020, Gounardes accepted $4000 from American Traffic Solutions:
Politicians in our area no longer care about deaths on our street. Remember when street activists and politicians held a vigil for those who died on the street? They don’t do them any longer.
Now Andrew Gounardes doesn’t even say their name unless residents mention it to him, as Annemarie Weisner’s neighbors did. (See here) When Aihong Qu died this Summer on 7th Avenue, no one even said her name. (Info)
The Summer before (July 2023), the woman that was killed on 4th Avenue was never named. (Info)
In 2022, state politicians used the map below to boast on social media about how their streets improved. Our area is named on top because there were more than 10 fatalities. Senator Andrew Gounardes did not share this map. Last year, I asked Senator Gounardes, NYC DOT and street activists for the updated version of this Vision Zero map, yet no one has provide it.
.
Today, NYC Councilwoman Vicki Paladino called out Andrew Gounardes for his new bill. (See here) Gounardes didn’t want to put a speed limiter in Justin Brannan’s or Brad Landers cars, but he has a bill for them this year. Today Gounardes cried that the councilwoman was a troll because she called him out!
Our community is not becoming safer because of the speed cameras as Andrew Gounardes contends. He is not an expert on the streets and he isn’t using the data that is showing the streets in our community have become dangerous!
