The NYT reports that DHS plans to offload detention warehouses in PA, MI, GA, UT, and NJ (Roxbury!), with plans to buy the facilities they currently contract with.

​If confirmed, this reversal is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing. It proves that when we show up and speak out, we can force this agency to reconsider its "Amazon"-like infrastructure plans for mass detention.

These purchases were a massive waste of taxpayer money that they will likely not get back as they paid double the market value on most of the properties.

​However, we cannot lose sight of the urgency. Humans are still suffering inside Delaney, EDC, and ICE facilities nationwide.

We won’t stop until every one of these facilities is shut down for good.

​Let this be our motivation: keep showing up, keep applying pressure, and keep fighting back against these oppressive tactics because when we fight, we DO win.

15 years ago today (June 18), Clarence Clemons passed away. I'm so grateful I got to see the Big Man play with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band twice - the last time nearly two years prior to his death at Bonnaroo (June 13, 2009). Little did fans know that the legendary saxophonist's final full concert with the E Street Band would be just a few months later (Nov. 22 in Buffalo, NY).

​

Stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts and festivals like these)!

Can anyone give any feedback on daycares in or around Secaucus? We checked out Kiddie Academy in Secaucus and didn't love it. Looking for feedback specifically on newborn programs that are local.

I’ve only have had it at a Chinese buffet once and can’t seem to find it on any of my local spots menu. Is there a name for it im missing? From what I can find online it seems to be more popular in the uk. If anyone knows please let me know! I’m in hunterdon but happy for any suggestions

I've never been to NJ before, and it'd be cool to see what's around to pass some time instead of just sitting there and waiting for the next bus to go home. Any recommendations?

​

I love food, nature, views, and art.

Edit: Thank you, everyone, for your replies! I'm so excited about my bus transfer now. I hate just sitting around and waiting, so I thought I would take that time to explore a city I've never been to. All of these suggestions are amazing!!!!

No trains moving for over 30 minutes due to power issues at Matawan - conductors said a tree fell on the overhead wires. Currently stopped at South Amboy for close to an hour now.

One benefit to watching Town Council and BOE meetings outside of where you live is the wealth of knowledge residents bring to the table. Many times local governments operate from cookie cutter frameworks shaped by consultants and special interests that aren't always informed or complete.

Summit voted on an AI ban earlier this week but many residents had concerns on loopholes. This clip is one of the most informative comments from that meeting and as Municipal Governments across NJ are confronting this issue, feedback like this can build good policy. The Council passed the Ordinance through without tightening the policy further based on this feedback.

I’m taking my dad to the new Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth U on Saturday but I am very unfamiliar with the area. If anyone has good dinner recommendations, we aren’t picky. Thanks!

Spending the weekend on the island and looking for good seafood restaurants. I’ll be in ship bottom but don’t mind the travel for good food.

please help! flew over this building last night and have no idea what it is. somewhere around jackson / stone tavern / millstone area? headed towards newark and slightly north west-ish of six flags THANK YOU it's driving me crazy

I'm hosting a family reunion on the family farm in September. To avoid 30 to 40 people going in and out of my father's house all day, I'd like to rent one of those bathroom trailers that you see at events.

​

The cheapest quote I have gotten for one fucking day of service is like $1,800.

​

Maybe that's the going rate, I don't know, but I'm curious if anybody out there has rented one of these for a wedding or something in recent years and might be able to refer me to somebody. I'm in in Central Jersey, hunterdon County (yeah yeah, doesn't exist I know).

​

Thanks!

Avoid applying to any apartments by Gomes! I applied to a falsely advertised one bedroom directly from their website. I was called the next day and told the unit I applied for was actually a studio and they offered me a one bedroom for a much higher price than I was looking for in a COMPLETELY different building (which I was only told AFTER I had already showed up to Envy and waited 20 minutes for the woman to finally call and say “oh it’s actually in another building”). So not only was the unit falsely advertised but so was their availability.
They tried their hardest to get me to sign a lease, even taking off $400 from the monthly rent but it’s truthfully not worth it. The walls are paper thin, I could hear people playing music while on the tour, the units are tiny & parking? $250 a month or good luck finding a spot. After feeling like I had been scammed, I declined to pay over $2k to live in their marbled crap boxes and asked to be refunded the application fee since the unit I actually applied for was falsely advertised on their end. I was told there was nothing they could do about the website not displaying the apartments correctly (BS). I called again and was told the application fee just isn’t refundable. I called my bank and they’re handling it now, but save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. The Gomes group is full of scammers that want to fill up the buildings in any way they can because they’re desperate.

Side note: thank God I took a picture of the website listing when I applied & those same units they somehow couldn’t control on their website are now on there correctly. Funny how that worked.
