QUEENS DRUNK DRIVER ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
More than half of the fatal car accidents in the United States are caused by drunk drivers. In New York State, drivers are considered "driving while intoxicated" if they have a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher. For drivers holding commercial licenses, there is a stricter standard of 0.04 percent, even if they are driving a personal vehicle when stopped. New York's "Zero Tolerance Law" included a provision that drivers under 21 may only have 0.02 percent. Despite these strict laws, drunk driver accidents are still common, and more prevalent in the suburbs where there is less access to public transportation. When you are a victim of a drunk driver, it's time to call a Queens Drunk Driver Accident Attorney.
If you have been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver (meeting the standards above,) you are in a good position with your case as will be much easier to prove that they were at fault. It's not "strict liability," if you hit somebody that's drunk in the rear while they are waiting at a light, you would still be responsible, even though they were drunk. The drunk drivers must still CAUSE the accident. If the drunk driver caused the accident, your own insurance company will still pay your medical bills, lost earnings, and out-of-pocket expenses and you can sure the driver for pain and suffering and other damages. A Queens Drunk Driver Accident Attorney can handle all these claims for you, so you can focus on your recovery.
There are additional claims available under New York's "Dram Shop" laws. A bar or restaurant that serves liquor to somebody that is "visibly intoxicated" or a person that is "actually or apparently" under 21, can also be held liable for the accident. There is more opportunity for recovery when an accident involves a drunk driver, but there is also an additional complication in applying "Dram Shop" law, finding and investigating the businesses and individuals to hold liable. This may result in conflicts of interest and the overlap of claims. This is definitely not something you want to go at alone. In order to achieve the maximum compensation for the injuries caused by a drunk driver, a team of experienced attorneys is a must.

Executive Order – Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office (Speculative)
SUMMARY January 20, 2029 President Orders Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office Today, the President signed an Executive Order directing the identification, disclosure, and recovery of profits derived from the misuse of public office for personal enrichment. The Order affirms that federal officials have always held office as fiduciaries of the public, and that personal profits obtained through licensing, branding, naming rights, or similar arrangements tied to official authority were never lawful. The Order instructs federal agencies to enforce existing ethics, forfeiture, and unjust enrichment laws to recover improperly obtained funds for the public treasury. It clarifies ethical obligations long recognized in law and tradition, and restores the principle that public office [...]
Queens Is the New Brooklyn
Brooklyn used to be where artists went because it was cheap, flexible, and unpoliced. That version of Brooklyn is gone. What’s left is a real-estate brand with a cultural afterimage—galleries designed around sales, neighborhoods shaped by marketing decks, and an art scene that feels increasingly managed. Queens is where the work actually happens now. You can see it across the borough—in Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Astoria, and Long Island City—not because there’s a single “scene,” but because artists here are still allowed to work without being pushed into a look, a market, or a lane. Queens hasn’t flattened itself into a style. It doesn’t need to. That range showed up clearly at the Queens Says [...]
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Strenghtens the Movement
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Builds the Movement Resist Flower™ began as an image, not a fundraising plan. A simple visual gesture: a flower that refuses to wilt. A form that looks gentle at first glance, then insists on staying. Over time, it became something more than an artwork. It became a shared symbol—one that people recognized, carried, wore, and returned to. And now, it has become one of the ways we are materially supporting the next march. This matters, because movements don’t run on inspiration alone. They require permits, printing, transportation, materials, accessibility accommodations, food for volunteers, sound systems, legal support, and contingency planning. None of that is glamorous, but all of [...]
Art Builds Communities
Art does not arrive fully formed. It is built—collectively, physically, in shared space. Before it appears on a street or in a march, it appears in conversation, in planning sessions, in rooms where people cut, paint, argue, revise, and keep going. This process is not secondary to the work. It is the work. Community is strengthened not only by what art represents, but by how it is made. An art build gathers people who might not otherwise meet. It gives them a common task, a shared visual language, and a reason to stay in the room together long enough for trust to form. The result is more than objects. It is continuity. In preparation for [...]
Art as Power
Art is a form of power that operates through images rather than decree. It shapes perception, organizes memory, and gives structure to experiences that resist easy narration. Long before it persuades, art reorients: it trains attention, alters scale, and determines what is allowed to remain visible. My own work begins from this premise. Images are not neutral, and symbols are never incidental. They accumulate meaning through repetition, circulation, and use—through being carried, held, worn, or encountered unexpectedly. Over time, certain forms insist on returning. A flower becomes a sign of refusal rather than ornament. A future date becomes a horizon rather than a prediction. These are not abstractions; they are working tools. Throughout history, images [...]
