Don't pick which protocols or platforms win. Enforce interoperability. Break the chokepoints. Fund the public infrastructure layer. Then get out of the way.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Zohran Mamdani inherited a $12 billion budget deficit and brought it down to zero in 6 months without cutting essential services by taxing billionaires. This is why they were in a panic about his candidacy.

a buddy of mine read a poem about losing his "why" like his why was a set of keys he simply misplaced and it has sat with me for some time ... because i often lose my why too

one of my software besties (that retired 😭) gave me some advice "It can definitely feel like people are blaming you. And maybe they are? But everyone knows they're one merge away from causing their own incident. So they had better button their lips....

I am among the 30 percent of Trump approvers regarding the price of gasoline. every time I drive past the gas station in my solar powered EV I think of these guys and grin ear to fuckin ear

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

On Nurses Day, we honor the people who step in when it matters most. I began my career in healthcare, treating patients in the NICU and County General ER. I’ve seen firsthand how transformative that presence can be.

The way Black people collect obituaries is a form of ancestral veneration.

Don’t prioritize accessibility based on your current user demographic. It’s foolish to expect people to already be giving you money when they can’t even get into the store. #a11y
