    On Saturday, a posting on Indivisible brought appr On Saturday, a posting on Indivisible brought approximately 200 picketers to protest Elon Musk at the Tesla dealership at 9th Street and Second Avenue in Gowanus. The organizer, who identified herself only as Catherine T., said, “I can’t imagine that we aren’t out in the streets every day protesting this administration. It’s just criminal what they’re doing. And Musk, particularly, is self-dealing and sending himself billions of dollars of contracts of government money. Our tax money is going to the richest man in the world, and he’s in charge of deciding who gets it.” Read more at the link in bio. Eagle photos by Beth Eisgrau-Heller

Trump’s move was condemned by Brooklyn officials — with some exceptions, such as U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Southern Brooklyn-Staten Island), the city’s lone Republican congressmember. Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most vehicles entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. Read more at the link in bio.
