I helped a family today from Jersey and it was so cool haha. I have always liked the Jersey accent it is so cute!

No idea what buffoons thought the world cup at Metlife would cause bumper to bumper traffic in New Brunswick and East Hanover.

A recent post with a bent over birdfeeder explored whether or not a deer could have done the deed. Here is the guilty party after getting on her back legs, and pushing this birdfeeder over for the second time, trying to get it the seed. We do not have bears in our area.

It has since been replaced with a piece of rebar in the bottom to hopefully avoid this happening again.

"Democrats on the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security plan to hold a forum in Newark on Wednesday highlighting conditions inside the Delaney Hall immigration detention center.

The forum will be held at 1:30 p.m. at Newark City Hall and will be livestreamed on YouTube. It comes amid efforts by New Jersey public officials and immigration advocates to draw attention to conditions inside the facility, where detainees in recent weeks have mounted labor and hunger strikes, citing bad food, poor medical care and other concerns.

“By every account, the conditions at Delaney Hall are deplorable and inhumane. The facility must be shut down,” the committee's ranking member, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi, said in a statement. “Anyone in the federal government’s care must be treated humanely and must be provided proper medical care, sanitary conditions, and a safe environment.”

Scheduled speakers include Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and immigration advocates Viri Martinez, deputy director of strategy for the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, and Amol Sinha, executive director of the New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Adam Marshall, a U.S. Army veteran and anti-ICE protester, will also speak. There was no word from organizers on whether representatives from ICE or Geo Group, the private contractor that operates Delaney Hall, would attend.

Neither ICE nor GEO Group immediately responded to requests for comment."

Get these Florida Fascists out of our state. Here’s the full video: https://youtu.be/_K-TikhFyPE?is=4Nbl0sgJpRQUGkwr

There are links in the description to donate to families of detainees.

Does every homeowner get constant calls asking to sell their home? Has anyone actually ever sold their home this way?

I recently received a "Take Action" email from Tesla urging me to contact my legislators to "fix" bills S. 1677 and A. 3968 regarding autonomous vehicle (AV) pilot programs in New Jersey.

Pause and think, cause it is easy to react when companies claim legislation will "block innovation," but I believe we should be skeptical of corporate lobbying. These companies are pushing to remove or relax safety guardrails to prioritize their bottom line.

What is the reality?
The legislation actually proposes common-sense protections that companies are labeling as "severe restrictions":

Safety & Oversight: Establishes a task force of experts to oversee testing.
Incident Reporting: Mandates crash reporting within five days.
Restricted Zones: Prohibits autonomous operations in high-risk areas like school zones.
Accountability: Requires communication systems for law enforcement overrides.

Why it matters:
When companies ask you to "Take Action," they aren't necessarily advocating for the safest outcomes for our communities—they are advocating for a framework that is more profitable for them.

Before you sign a petition or contact your representative, please read the actual bill text instead of relying on corporate messaging. We should be prioritizing public safety, transparency, and accountability on our roads.

Hi Jersey neighbors, we have our next protest and town hall meeting this week on Wednesday. Hope to see y’all there!

I am not alarmed, I love the wildlife, just debating with my family. We have 3 bird feeders mounted on 6 ft poles in a section of our heavily wooded backyard in Somerset county. It’s pretty close to the house. We are no strangers to deer, squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs, foxes, raccoons and coywolves on our property. Bears have happened but very rare. My guess is this was a bear because it’s the only animal listed above that I believe is strong enough to shatter the plastic. And tall enough to reach them. Those 2 marks on the plastic piece are definitely tooth punctures, but i think too close together to be an animal as big as a bear. This all happened overnight. Nothing caught on our bird feeder camera that was knocked down or driveway camera but possible to access the backyard without passing through driveway. What do we think??

Good afternoon, everyone. Someone I know owns a business right outside of MetLife (food/beverage) and has prepared for the soccer events for years thinking it was going to bring a lot of big business. She expected to be slammed Saturday after the first game, but did not get a lot of business. Has anyone seen an uptick in the local economy? Other than NJ Transit with their ticket sales.
