Dear Mayor, You have shown time and time again how important reading and storytime is for kids of this age. Yes, even on the weekend! Won’t you please increase funding for our libraries to just half a percent so all kids in NYC can have weekend storytime too?

Shame on Allen Roskoff and Christine Quinn for being so completely out of touch. Council Speaker Menin's bills weaponizing NYPD against free speech, her endorsement of Carl Wilson and his statement in support of her speech squelching bills have angered a lot of us. 1/ gothamist.com/news/mamdani...

Give a listen -- this is brilliant and an important part of history. bsky.app/profile/nhpr...

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Thinking of Assata and these words of hers that Angela Davis shared in a speech:

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

The Republican Party is now the biggest enemy of democracy in the Western world.

If you're in New York City tonight and feel helpless in the face of the violent genocidal maniacs that run our country — show up. it's better than doomscrolling alone.

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

Repetition, repetition, repetition… #UrbanTruth

Wonderful speech, Monsieur. Manifique!

What's happening isn't "mass deportations." It's ETHNIC CLEANSING! They're not "federal detention centers." They're CONCENTRATION CAMPS!

Warsh being announced as Fed chair nominee and being featured in the latest Epstein Files release is next-level synergy.

The temporary protected status (TPS) for our Haitian brothers and sisters is about to be revoked. Trump goons are already planning their attack on Springfield OH. Ayanna Pressley has filed a discharge petition to force a vote on extending TPS. Call your congressperson and demand they sign on.

US nuclear bombs have arrived in Britain. The UK government is ramping up military spending and preparing for war. We’re telling Keir Starmer - don’t build bombs, build a better future. Join CND today: https://cnduk.org/join/

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

“When we take it in our hands,” she said of grief, “when we can just be with it and keep breathing, then it turns. It turns to reveal its other face, and the other face of our pain for the world is our love for the world, our absolutely inseparable connectedness with all life.”

We’re outside of Tesla on the day of their dreadful earnings report to tell the Tesla board to fire Musk. He has blood on his hands because of all the people DOGE fired and is still firing. Just one example: Since 1/24 over 78,000 adults and 8,300 children have died from cuts to PEPFAR.

My colleagues on the security team, @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social, pubbed this incredibly important piece about what exactly is going on inside ICE facilities: www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

26 Federal Plaza is not a courthouse. It's a makeshift jail where asylum seekers are held for days in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions on the 10th floor. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and I are demanding an investigation into whether this de facto jail violates zoning laws.

Macy once wrote, "It is good to realize that falling apart is not such a bad thing. Indeed, it is as essential to transformation as the cracking of outgrown shells. Anxieties and doubts can be healthy and creative...because they permit new and original approaches to reality."

Federal immigration court is an abduction trap. Remorseless ICE agents continue waiting outside courtrooms to arrest whoever's inside. @realDonaldTrump has made it clear: his goal is to punish immigrants no matter what. Every day, New York stands up and fights back. prospect.org/justice/2025...

"You Feel Like Your Life Is Over": HRW Report Exposes Abuses in Trump's Immigration Jails in Florida

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

NEW VIDEO: Mr. Rogers once saved PBS with nothing but his voice. This week, MAGA Republicans destroyed it—voting at 2AM to gut its funding and wipe out public media as we know it. This isn’t just budget politics. It’s cultural erasure. And it’s a warning.

I see mad people.
