lol. Forgot to get any photos of my #AALS panels. So, instead enjoy some of my favorite people talking about technology optimism. ( I really need some optimism right now)

can I reboot this timeline please

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Consider this a reminder that Environmental Justice is Social Justice! Delighted to announce the publication of the latest version of Environmental Justice: Law, Policy, and Regulation. Thank you to my co-authors and to the many advocates whose work we highlight. So much more to do!

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

I’ll take it

Fascinating story from a man who has done so much for NYC, New York, and the US

goodbye to Mayor Swagger (and good riddance)

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

Who are we protecting?

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

This is fascinating

Damn it sure would be embarrassing for the writer of this if there were any medical conditions where people could walk but not for long distances

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care. The bill passed only 216 to 214. 4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

What the actual f*ck?

The miracle was in the way the light lasted, not the weapons

I'm not usually one to cry but the combination of the Sandy Hook anniversary, the Brown shooting, the Bondi Beach antisemitic terror shooting, and the fact that ICE grabbed a kid in my neighborhood is just too much. How did we let this happen to us? We have to make it stop.

I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it! (I have NEVER seen Goldman ANYWHERE.)

F*ck your thought and prayers

Happy 100th Birthday Dick Van Dyke, and thank you for the joy!

Funny how the economic plan is “you could get a government job”…

This story really crystallized the impression I’ve been getting recently—also from yesterday’s @jael.bsky.social story—that there are conservative climate dismissives fighting decarbonization who also hold “environmentalist” or at least CONSERVATIONIST positions. heatmap.news/plus/the-fig... 1/2

Justice Kavanaugh says this is fine

It’s a small thing in the larger white nationalist project, but I keep thinking about the national parks story. It’s so explicitly racist, and its pettiness (and the way it just sailed through the news cycle) makes it even more sinister. www.npr.org/2025/12/06/g...

This baby Yuanxin Fanb is still just floating all alone in ICE custody and it’s just heartbreaking He has to be so scared www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr9CTQ3S/

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hey NYC, Want to talk Environmental Justice in Western Queens? Join us tonight. This will be my last hurrah at CUNY before moving to Tulane.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

On this day in 1874, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 9 Jul 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt and on the 15 Oct 1942 to Treblinka extermination camp where she perished. Her name was Luisa Grünhutová

What is this guy holding and pointing at everyone?

I definitely did not have this on my bingo card, either.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is horrible news. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-prof...

If you are in NYC in Dec 8, please join me and @queenscosta.bsky.social and our local elected officials for this discussion about environmental justice in Western Queens. (Reposting b/c I forgot alt text. Mea culpa)

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

This might be the most trans positive thing NYC has ever done.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
