Imagine going so out of way to let your people starve. It is criminal www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

MUST WATCH REPORTING FROM @thebaltimorebanner.com

I love it when my real-time ('ish) NYTimes feed catches a placeholder in the CMS. 90% of the time its an upcoming video.

When it rains it pours

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

You are playing the game. It’s mandatory. As soon as you hear Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” you lose.

Mostly saying this for my own benefit. Everyone has high expectations of our major-elect. Running this city is cat herding and I don’t doubt he’ll accomplish many agenda items but certainly not all. Let’s not be quick to judge him at those times.

This morning @restofworld.org published the incredibly heart-breaking story of Gaza Sky Geeks, the vibrant Gaza-based tech hub that was the darling of international press through the 2010s 🧵 restofworld.org/2025/gaza-sk...

Guys that conference talk I gave in 2017 was meant to be *hypothetical* arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Canvassers knocked on my door and asked if I was voting for Mamdani in the NYC mayoral election. I replied “who’s that?” and managed to keep a straight face for a moment. So worth it.

I don’t think it’s right that Instagram is suggesting I follow my teen’s female friends. Just creepy on a different level.

Overhead in a meeting just now: "iOS might just be the new IE"

Maybe there’s some 4D chess to starving 40 million Americans, doubling healthcare costs on another 20 million, and sending masked goons out on the streets to snatch and disappear an untold number more, but honestly I’m not seeing it.

I did a non-trivial amount of work on the use of facial recognition in Login.gov while in leadership at GSA, and at Treasury. The short version: it's racist. (And that was for 1-to-1 matching, which is much simpler than 1-to-many.) The error rate on this must be horrifying.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

If I were in NYC this evening I’d go to this…

When the elevator doors open and you see your hotel room door directly in front of you, the instinct to not move, just ride it back down to the front-desk is the correct move

As masked federal agents target street vendors on Canal Street, THE CITY watched one street vendor being detained. As the operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous crowd of protesters. MORE HERE: www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Earlier on Canal Street, as agents attempted to disperse, one who I recognize from the courts pulled out a taser and threatened protester with it. @thecity.nyc

In 2023 we had a family trip to Paris and my eldest teen wrote up her experience. I revisit it every few months. It’s like I have a genz mini hunter-s-thompson running wild in my family.

With respect to whoever chose the headline 'He Left the City for a Cat in Gowanus,' I would note that Brooklyn has been part of the City for more than 127 years. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/r...

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

For every person at a #nokings protest today, I firmly believe there were at least 10 or more people who couldn’t make it - who share the same convictions

Resisted the urge to say Hi

Front & back #NoKings

#NoKings in NYC

The people are assembling

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Subway in NYC feels more like rush-hour passenger levels than a usual sleepy Saturday morning #nokings

Just saying it now: I’ll unfollow/block anyone who interacts with these gov accounts and you should too. Don’t given them any engagement or reach.

Happy No Kings Day to all who celebrate it

From my small perch in tech (at a news non-profit), I 100% agree with this.

Who could have predicted this? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/b...

Am sorry I missed this www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/n...

Asking for work: Hey anyone here fluent in Elvish (specifically Quenya) enough to double check a very short translation? If so, DM me!

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story. "The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Who else saw the subway ad and imagined it this way this?

I've wanted to open-source this sooner (and our Translation Wordpress plugin is likely next) but life gets in the way. This is all the work of an incredible team at @restofworld.org - Joanne, Jane, and Anna - as well as past member @lilylou.bsky.social

PSA There is a wholly untouched “Friends” ad at the nw entrance to Fort Hamilton Ave subway station (F, G)

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Ok this is scary AF

With phone ban in high-schools the younger kid is looking to use their iPod nano 7th gen. The battery needs replacement and not within my abilities. Anyone know someone who does that?
