Our thoughts are with the individuals involved in this morning's accident on the Boston Common,

Most businesses contribute positively to our neighborhoods, but a handful of late-night retail establishments, like the ones we have shut down, attract significant criminal activity. The nighttime safety ordinance has been helpful in putting these stores on our radar and giving us additional tools to shut down problematic businesses. SFPD has been an incredible partner in this work to eradicate drug activity and protect our communities.

Witnesses described her using racial slurs and then turning violent, striking the older diner with the bottle, which resulted in a head injury requiring staples.

San Jose restaurateur David Mulvehill is one of Mayor Matt Mahan's biggest fans, crediting him with doing more by a long shot to corral crime, homelessness and blight and make his staff and customers all feel safer than he's seen in decades.

Reps from real estate titan Two Trees Management - which opened the $50 million public park in 2018 as part of its mixed-use rental project in Williamsburg paying tribute to the old Domino Sugar Plant that once operated there - fired off letters Friday to federal, state, and city agencies urging they investigate the Oct. 17 incident involving the Sir Winston vessel.

First, I want to thank the thousands of city workers who have gone above and beyond to lift snow off of our streets and to look after those most at risk in a moment like this, and yet we know that there is clearly so much more to be done as we maintain our efforts to clear crosswalks and bus stops to melt snow, and above all, to protect New Yorkers who are most at risk from this historic and dangerous cold,

Photo by Lloyd Mitchell Of the 17 Eric Adams-era vetoes the City Council overturned Thursday, the Aland Etienne Safety and Security Act which guarantees 60,000 private security officers citywide the pay, benefits, and protections they've long been denied marked a deeply personal victory for Etienne's family, who said the vote was the right way to honor his legacy.

The scheduled Saturday contest between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves was postponed and pushed back to Sunday afternoon. The NBA cited safety concerns as the reason for the schedule adjustment. The decision was made to prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community, the NBA said in its announcement.

Shortly after 7 P.M. on Wednesday, January 14th, Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, received a call at home from his police chief, Brian O'Hara. "ICE shot somebody again," O'Hara said. Minneapolis was in the midst of an unprecedented influx of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. It had been a week since one of them, Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, throwing the city into a state of fear and havoc.

I fear every day leaving my home. Trump's attacks on all human decency have been bad enough but the 'acceptance & encouragement' MAGA gives people to harass, threaten, vandalize, and victimize our community is what frightens me most and makes the largest impact upon my life. My husband broke his ankle in November of 2024, and it was a horrendous situation made worse by the discrimination, and frankly, malicious treatment we faced by some healthcare and insurance people,

Today marks a moment of responsibility, service and partnership,

There were four or five events in Sydney for the first night of Hanukah. In 2024 we went to an event at Dover Heights, but parking was a nightmare. We decide on Bondi (where parking is also a nightmare). Five of us my mum, husband, son (3), daughter (one-and-a-half) and I pile into the car. We walk past the Christmas markets at Bondi beach, looking for the festival.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul used her annual State of the State address Tuesday to unveil a reelection year agenda aimed at bridging divides in the Democratic Party - moving to harness liberal anger at President Donald Trump and excitement over Mayor Zohran Mamdani, while also tending to moderates anxious about public safety and antisemitism. Speaking to a packed crowd at The Egg, a striking domed theater near the state's ornate Capitol building, Hochul announced a slate of affordability proposals, including a plan to expand pre-kindergarten programs statewide,
