Out back on a beautiful NYC summer day with this 1800's Brazilian classic cocktail — Caipirinha. Made with: Leblon Cachaça + sugar muddled with limes + cracked ice

Netanyahu better stay out of NYC during UN General Assembly. Mamdani made a campaign promise, and he keeps his promises. I wish he promised to arrest Tr*mp, too, though! www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/m...

You invite that racist scumbag into your home through your TV? Don’t complain media puts him on TV, and watch. You’re why they put him on. Attention for free. YOU are ratings that created and feed him. Miss NOTHING by not watching. People get paid to watch and report. If that’s not you, don’t watch

Backyard brunch with this early Tiki cocktail from 1940 — Pago Pago cocktail. Made with: Clèment VO Rhum Agricole Vieux, Green Chartreuse, Marie Brizard White Crème de Cacao, fresh lime juice, fresh pineapple juice, and a big ol’ Carmen Miranda wedge of pineapple fronds as garnish 🍹

Had a very robust conversation with Mitch McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning, and I asked him if he had anything to say about the news…

The photo evokes our dark history: Rosa on a bus, four young men in Greensboro at a lunch counter, nine kids going to high school in Little Rock, and so on. We’ve seen this photo before. We didn’t have to be here — but the photo is a reminder that Americans directly or indirectly chose to stay here

"What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July?" Frederick Douglass, 1852. Still waiting for an answer. See more: https://bit.ly/3QOH6Qf  #FrederickDouglass #July4 #UnfinishedBusiness

I’m glad @mayor.nyc.gov reminded people about 9th of July 1776 — a moment in our history I always think about when I’m at Bowling Green Park, and since the No Kings protests started. I was thinking about it last month when I told people I preferred to celebrate the 9th of July rather than the 4th

Interesting article on issues of identity & agency of Black gay artists in the 1980’s/90’s

Backyard brunch with a spicy twist on classic cocktail: Jalapeño Margarita. With: Casamigos Blanco Tequila, No Where Sunkissed + Stargazed triple sec from New York’s Matchbook Distilling Co, fresh lime juice. Jalapeños muddled in shaker. Coarse kosher salt on glass. Small jalapeño garnish #cocktails

Trump paying someone hush money to cover up his crimes is not new. But the difference is this time he's paying the entire country of Iran hush money.

Horrible! NYC Downtown Alliance funds homophobic/transphobic/anti-abortion rights billionaire owners of Uline. From NYT: “paper [for ticker tape] bought from Wisconsin-based office-supply company Uline, according to Jessica Lappin, the president of Downtown Alliance” Fascist tape parade! 👎👎👎

NYC Downtown Alliance funds fascism. NYT: “paper [for ticker tape] bought from Wisconsin-based office-supply company Uline, according to Jessica Lappin, the president of Downtown Alliance” Uline owners fund Trump/MAGA/Jan 6th/antisemitic candidates. Search: Uline + Trump. Evil use of NYC tax $$ 👎

Brunch in backyard, keeping cool with this early 1900’s charmer from Louisville, KY — Pendennis Club Cocktail. Made with: Plymouth gin, Giffard Abricot du Roussillon apricot liqueur, fresh lime juice, Peychaud’s bitters, and some homemade brandied cherries on cocktail skewer #cocktails

I see people celebrating Trump’s name removed from the Kennedy Center… But that didn’t just happen. No one celebrates the Black woman, Representative Joyce Beatty of Ohio, who told Tr*mp NO! She took him to court, and prevailed…

Today’s backyard brunch cocktail: Florodora cocktail from 1900. Created in NYC, named for a popular Broadway musical at that time. Made with: Plymouth gin, homemade raspberry syrup, fresh lime juice, and topped with Reed’s ginger beer. Stainless steel reusable straw #cocktails

“Riiiight. Too busy being president” to go to his son’s wedding — but NOT too busy to go to a basketball game? Keep your stanky ass in Florida — You’re not wanted here! 👎👎👎 www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Today’s cool blue brunch cocktail on this rainy NYC Sunday — Aviation cocktail from 1916. Made with: Plymouth gin, Crème de Violette liqueur, Maraschino liqueur, fresh lemon juice, homemade simple syrup, and a homemade brandied cherry at bottom of the glass

Brunch out back, keeping cool with this spring-green cocktail created on the Lower East Side in NYC early 2000’s — Eastside cocktail, made with cucumbers muddled with fresh mint for green color, and shaken with Plymouth gin, fresh lime juice, and homemade simple syrup

I went to the Trump Epstein Files Reading Room exhibit in Tribeca this afternoon. I think they schedule 20 people per time slot, and reservations can be made until May 21st at trumpsonian.us

Check out SPILL - visual conversation at the speed of culture ☕️ spill.com/sh?_r=2U75CqRH People feel addicted to those broligarch-owned apps, funding their own demise. I’m here to tell you that you are not obligated to use those apps. You can quit them like a bad habit. We have healthy options

This year, I’ll be celebrating the 9th of July 1776 — On that date New Yorkers tore down the gold gilded statue of the king in Bowling Green Park after the Declaration of Independence was read to the public

If you shop on Amazon/Whole Foods, watch series/movies on Amazon Prime, etc. I honestly couldn’t care less about your complaints of Bezos & Met Gala. If you enrich this billionaire to fund your own demise, complaining on social media about the Met Gala does nothing to change your own complicity

Where we were — Where we are. The day after Americans voted or sat they ass at home to give all power to this racist misogynist demon, I took a screenshot of GasBuddy to have record of gas prices: $2.67 ➡️ $3.59. TODAY: $4.13 ➡️ $7.59! Station nearest me is $5.80. Hey — no one ever said hate is cheap

Brunch indoors on this Sunday before Cinqo de Mayo. Cadillac Margarita cocktail, with Casamigos Reposado tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice. Maldon sea salt flakes on the glass #cocktails

Mayor Mamdani is a great endorsement — but not why I ranked Lindsey Boylan FIRST (and only ranked Lindsey) on my ballot. I decided to only rank Lindsey because she showed me she is someone who hears New Yorkers and puts thought into issues that are on our mind. Rank Lindsey ☝️FIRST☝️

Today is our last chance to vote. Show up and rank Lindsey ☝️FIRST☝️ on your ballot. Take a stand against the gross political games. They have the money — but we have the votes. Don’t fall for the okey-doke

I don’t support gun violence or political violence in general. I don’t know if it’s real or staged, but my first thought was back to his 2020 “when looting starts, the shooting starts” statement on George Floyd BLM protests, in context of current looting in the fog of chaos from the office

Heading out now to rank Lindsey. I’ve decided to rank only Lindsey this time around. I am a white gay male — but I don’t want to vote for a political machine that ignores me. I urge all voters to rank Lindesy FIRST on your ballot. She is a thoughtful fighter who will be an advocate for ALL

I live in NYC District 3 — I’m ranking Lindsey Boylan FIRST. I don’t know about the others yet. I’m NOT ranking Carl Wilson. I’m a gay white male — but this pattern of crowning the next-in-line from gay white male city council member to their gay white male Chief of Staff is gross

Was reading how Netanyahu talked scumbag into Iran war. Something stood out: “street protests inside Iran 👉with the impetus of Israeli spy agency👈 to overthrow” Reminded me of those anti Biden/Kamala protests that disappeared after Trump was returned to power. But would Israel do such a thing in US?

“The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect” — A quote from a woman who appeared on Joy Behar Show in 2011, and pushed a racist birther conspiracy theory about President Obama that her scumbag husband was selling to bigots at that time

🔴 BREAKING - Middle East war live: ‘Open the F***in' Strait’, Trump says, or US will target Iran's infrastructure on Tuesday

At NYC No Kings March #nokings #riseandresist #nokingsnyc

Today is the day!! No Kings. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Trump!!

Brunch indoors with this classic from the 1800's... Whiskey Sour, made with: Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, fresh lemon juice, homemade simple syrup, egg white, angostura bitters dashed on top

Bicycle weather approaching (but I do ride my bike all winter). Brunch indoors with this mid-1800’s classic — Manhattan cocktail, with: Rittenhouse rye, Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, homemade brandied cherries I live in Manhattan, but my heart is in Brooklyn #cocktails

With this scumbag, every accusation is a confession of what he has done, is doing, will do, or would do

The other day I saw someone justify not voting for Kamala because she was a “warmonger” “owned by Israel”. People fell for the don’t-vote-for-Kamala-okey-doke that put this demonic racist sexual assaulter in power to create hell at home and around the globe, but they will never accept responsibility

Imagine being mad/disappointed at a hockey team for showing up to Trump’s SOTU… While tuning in to watch the SOTU and invite Trump right into your home! 🤦‍♂️ The people who tuned in knew what Trump is, too. They are just like this hockey team — but minus the gold medals www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

They’re not getting something. Wearing white again??? He offered “concepts of a plan”. Now Dems offering “concepts of resistance”. Who is organizing this? They need to resign. Dems should not have legitimized this by being there. Respect people who didn’t normalize it by showing up or watching it

The People’s SOTU was great. Glad I didn’t waste a second of my life to that lying racist scumbag. Last thing any of us should be doing is feeding him with ratings he craves. So what’s next? They urged us to go go sotu.org and make plans for next No Kings. See you all out in these streets March 28

I have to say, it’s a better use of my time to watch People’s SOTU, rather than normalize a creepy old racist babble lies. Getting facts, real policies & proposals for the people. I’ve never been addicted to rage-watching and giving ratings to bullshit www.youtube.com/live/iJmKpta...

Casar: He steals from working Americans to give to the rich. Donald Trump doesn't owe us a two-hour rambling speech. He owes the American people their money back.

This is not normal. I used to watch SOTU… until the first term. Journalists cover it. That’s their job. I miss NOTHING by not watching. I don’t give ratings to racists, I don’t welcome them into my home — not even through TV. Watching People’s SOTU for facts & plans www.youtube.com/live/iJmKpta...

Phang: The American people deserve the truth. They do not need more lies from this regime. So tonight you are going to hear people that have been impacted directly by the bullshit of this administration.

Watching The People’s State of the Union, hosted by Joy Reid and Katie Phang. None of what is happening is normal, so I’m not watching SOTU, like any of this is normal. Besides, I don’t invite racists into my home — not even through TV www.youtube.com/live/iJmKpta...

Brunch inside before this blizzard is supposed to hit, with this 1920’s classic cocktail from Peru — Pisco Sour, with Barsol Pisco, homemade simple syrup, fresh lemon + lime juice, egg white, and topped with Angostura bitters + dusting of freshly ground nutmeg #cocktails
