After months of stress and the possibility of 10 years in prison hanging over our heads, we’re ready to celebrate. So... KAPOW and Bookclub present: I GOT INDICTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS CONCERT

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Oh @sarahcardin.bsky.social - thought you might need to see this one.

Also, I’m working on a much bigger January 6th Memory Project. These press releases are just a small part of it.

One of the things I love most about waterfall hunting is that while you may suspect a waterfall will be there due to the topo map, you never know what it will look like until you arrive. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

The People’s Laundry saved the day for this sad widow recently, though now I see they have a backlog & have paused requests while they catch up. Sounds like they could use more volunteers in case you're in the area & have capacity to do some loads of laundry for folks. thepeopleslaundrympls.com

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

ICE is shooting pepper spray and attacking press right now at Delaney Hall.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Some days she was upbeat and playful Callie, and on other days she was sad and melon Callie.

Greetings from West Texas

I just put up a quick post.

As the anti racism work of the last decade disappears, I had some thoughts. My latest piece is available across all my platforms. blackgirlinmaine.com/commentary/t...

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

The Human Condition (La condition humaine) was created in 1935. Artist: René Magritte, a Belgian surrealist painter.

Yes, they need a warrant. Yes, that's a relatively high bar. Yes, it requires access to the device to install the spyware. No, that's not a thing they can do en masse. Still. Who's behind the software? What is the scope of the data? Where's the data stored? Who can read it? All secret.

If you’d like to lean more into #poetry the weekly post by @davebonta.bsky.social will give you a fine place to start. (Thanks Dave for including me!) #painting #art

Work in advertising or PR and worried about what your agency is doing for fossil clients? On May 19, @desmog.com, @cleancreatives.bsky.social and @climatewhistles.bsky.social are talking about how comms professionals can help journalists hold the industry to account, safely.

More beauty, while out walking a trail. #ForestPark #Portland #Oregon

There’s beauty all around. Here’s some I saw while out wandering today. #pdx #portland #oregon #forest

I have composed a song called "Brushing Day" to the tune of "Yesterday", to sing while I am brushing the cats. Mainly because the lyric, "Suddenly, I'm not half the cat I used to be. There's a giant fur pile next to me." just popped into my brain fully formed, and then I felt compelled to continue.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

I feel like we are living in the “Thiel and Andreessen Show”, and too many people have no idea. 1/

Supreme Court Holds, 6-3, That Black People Voting Violates Rights Of White Voters

They’re like emergency responders who put on their siren and rush to the scene whenever Black people are trying to get representation

A lot of attention has been paid to the collapse of traffic to The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro's YouTube channel. But other ragebait sites are also seeing huge drops in audience. According to The Righting, Outkick, The Federalist and The Blaze are down at least 48%. therighting.com/traffic-repo...

Seamus Heaney, with Ireland's best-loved poem from the past century

So yeah, "The Big Bad Media isn't covering X" is likely not why a story is failing to catch on. It's because people don't want to pay attention to it. It makes them feel bad, instead of feeling dominant. Sad instead of gleeful at seeing an enemy get his. Fearful instead of angry.

You're in a chess tournament against last year's champion. He jumps a pawn clear across the board to take your rook. "That's not how chess works!" you say to the judge. That's when you learn the tournament's judges get appointed by the previous year's champion. (What reading the news feels like)

This should be required listening for my #Portland #Oregon friends. I haven’t yet confirmed what Kevin is sharing, but a big data center in Hillsboro? I’d like to see the studies done for projected environmental impact.

I only learned from Sherrilyn Ifill on Daily Show last week that, and I probably have it wrong in some way, that John Roberts was an INTERN in 1980ish who tried to prevent Reagan signing the Voting Rights into law in '81-'82, and so when you're talking about his LIFE'S WORK, you ain't joking!

I should first clarify some basic facts: — The Met Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute. — The Costume Institute preserves historical garments, curates public exhibitions, and educates people on how clothing reflects and shapes culture.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.
