Not sure how or why Miriam Shore keeps getting the role as a seasoned, slightly cynical book publishing professional (Younger, Pluribus) but she’s perfect. 👏

It’s good.

So enraging that the emails from the school district are "here's how you can get food" and "here's how we're protecting students from ICE." What barbarity, a breach into which underpaid teachers and administrators are stepping in as best they can.

We really do need to bring back shame.

As a NYer, ”real” “small town” America now looks like a sexual freak zoo run by genital-obsessive xenophobes who make women into living dolls and shoot each other. Mamdani’s NYC (and mine) is a safe, wholesome place where neighbors help each other, do scavenger hunts, ride bikes, and birdwatch.

🎃 Some lessons from Hallowe’en: 👻 Little kids should be able to walk in the streets, even at night, without worrying about cars. People who are well-off are expected to give out more candy. Candy is for anyone who asks — no means-testing. Whatever else we are, we are each other’s neighbors.

Also, maybe we come up with, like, two more holidays, say in the early and late spring, that involve walking around the neighborhood and talking to your neighbors?

Whoa that’s a full rainbow all the way 🌈 #Brooklyn

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem watched.

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?
