06/24/2022

New York City Mayor Eric Adams today released the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which the court ruled to effectively overturn Roe v. Wade after almost 50 years of precedent and strip Americans of their right to access safe, legal abortions:



“Two days in a row, politics came before people at the highest court in the land, and, as a result, the health of our nation now hangs in jeopardy. What the court has done today ignores the opinions of the majority of Americans, as it helps states control women’s bodies, their choices, and their freedoms.



“There is nothing to call this Supreme Court opinion but an affront to basic human rights and one that aims to shackle women and others in reproductive bo***ge.



“Reproductive care is health care, but, put simply, this decision puts lives at risk.



“To all New Yorkers: I want to say that they can still access safe, legal abortions here in New York City. And to those seeking abortions around the country: Know that you are welcome here and that we will make every effort to ensure our reproductive services are available and readily accessible to you. This city will continue to respect, protect, and fulfill the core tenets of our fundamental rights to bodily autonomy and quality, critical, health care for those seeking access to an abortion.”



Those looking for more information on abortion providers, payment support, and additional resources available can visit New York City’s abortion access webpage. [https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/abortion.page]

FDA Proposes Rules Prohibiting Menthol Ci******es and Flavored Ci**rs to Prevent Youth Initiation, Significantly Reduce Tobacco-Related Disease and Death

The Food & Drug Administration is holding Listening Sessions on its proposal to ban menthol ci******es. Readers may recall that on April 28, 2022, the FDA unveiled its proposed rule to prohibit the sale of menthol ci******es.

The proposal has split the black community. Some leaders argue that it unfairly targets African Americans, who favor menthol ci******es, and bring unnecessary policing of those who seek to defy such a prohibition, if implemented.

Some civil rights activists, including Rev. Al Sharpton and personal injury attorney Benjamin Crump, oppose moving forward with the proposed rule due its criminal justice implications.

The Hill reported that Eric Garner's mother, Trayon Martin's mother and George Floyd's brother, wrote a letter to the White House in April urging the Biden administration to consider the criminal justice implications the ban would have on the Black community.

Others, like the NAACP, cite the health benefits.

The FDA's proposed rule to prohibit the sale of menthol ci******es is described in the agency's April announcement.

As part of the rulemaking process the FDA is holding two listening sessions on June 13 and June 15. Concerned Bronx readers are urged to weigh in.

Julio Pabon Announces For City Council, 17th District, Bronx
Julio Pabon Announces For City Council, 17th District, Bronx

Bronx businessman and community activist Julio Pabon announced that he is running in the February 2016 (tentative) Bronx Special Election for the 17th Council district. The incumbent Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo announced earlier this month that she’s resigning her South Bronx seat effective December 31. Pabón, a Democrat who ran against CM Arroyo in 2013, says that he is a different kind of candidate. "Historically the voices of the community have been shut out many times by its own political leaders." Pabón pledged to empower his community by engaging in participatory budgeting and involving local residents and stakeholders in any and all development plans. He says he will focus on the needs of small businesses, as well as seek to redress the effects of gentrification by maintaining affordable housing, and obtain criminal justice reform, economic and environmental justice. In New York City, special elections are held to temporarily fill vacancies in city offices resulting from an elected official’s resignation, removal, death, or permanent incapacitation. Under the City Charter, the special election must be called by Mayor de Blasio for the firat Tuesday at least 45 days after the office has been vacated. Typically, And that special election must be nonpartisan, ie, candidates may not run under the banner of a major political party such as the Democratic or Republican parties. Candidates will have twelve (12) days of the Mayor's proclamation to submit ballot petitions to the New York City Board of Elections. Mr. Pabón has indicated that he plans to run under the banner, "The Bronx Is Not 4 Sale." The name is a nod towards and recognition of local concerns regarding gentrification and its displacement of poor and working class people from South Bronx neighborhoods.

This morning, LIVE on OPEN BronxNet Televsion, Ramon Jimenez, Esq. & our op-ed contributor Juan Carlos Polanco debated the #OscarLopezRivera clemency movement. The debate was interesting but I'm not sure if Mr. Jimenez clearly made the case for clemency other than stating that OLR was a freedom fighter, not a terrorist as Mr. Polanco asserts. I have included a 30 second teaser segment from the debate this morning. I will post the link to OPEN later todayhis afternoon. When I posted JC's provocative op-ed taking on the movement to free Oscar Lopez Rivera, I had an idea that it would spark fiery debate. I'm pleased that Daren Jaime, host of OPEN, offered a venue for Ramon and JC to debate the issue beyond the confines of Facebook posts.

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Joins $15/Hr Wage Fight
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Joins $15/Hr Wage Fight

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo followed up on today's op-ed in the NY Times supporting a $15/hr minimum wage for fast food workers by attending an SEIU 32BJ & HTC union supported #RaiseTheWage rally in Union Square, Manhattan. Bronx Congressman José E. Serrano also attended the rally. Labor sources confirmed that the rally wasn't planned until late Monday after the Assembly passed legislation raising the state minimum wage (and the arrest of Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos on federal corruption charges).

Yesterday's launch for my campaign to run for Assembly 78 was beyond incredible, the energy and essence of the people resonated through my feet and hit every inch of my soul.
We are a blessed people who not ONLY know how to KEEP OURSELVES SAFE but are civil engaged to the extent that we are demanding space in arenas traditionally used AGAINST us.
Thank you to EVERYBODY who not only took time out of their schedules but STOOD with me in THE COLD to deliver the message that we are EXACTLY who we have been waiting for. MY NAME is on the campaign, yet THIS is a campaign FOR THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE and we are most certainly!

I am an author living in New Milford, Ct. and I have written a book that I believe would be of interest to many readers. It is not only the true story of a daring sea rescue, but also gives insight into the world between the wars; the rise of communism, fascism, the true story of the Spanish Civil War as well as the fantastic little known story of how a Marine general saved America from a coup that would have made the United States a fascist nation.

It tells of how the pseudoscience of Eugenics led to the Holocaust and the Climate Change movement for those who can take the truth.

I welcome all research into the facts that I have presented as it would give the reader much more information on what I have barely touched.

Thank you in advance for your time.
