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.

Support independent journalism. But also, what the hell? Has the new atty gen not figured out a way to make money off this yet?

For those asking about the Ogles Belmont event…

This is what I’ve been up to while I wasn’t hanging out with you fine people. I do have an ask, and it’s just for me: have to replace the phone I lost. Sigh. Art is yours of course, but if you liked it feel free to drop a few bucks to Linda-Tirado-3 on Venmo or bootstrapindustries@gmail on PayPal

This is a good and important read.

In 2 weeks, I need to pay the balance of Katie's radiation treatments. If anyone would like to share the post or chip in, I would be eternally grateful.

The Public Scholar publishes one week from today. Please consider pre-ordering and/or asking your library to order. Authors really need your pre-orders to make a book go. I think it's a useful book! More importantly, so do real scholars and writers! www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

I’m putting down 1k. Who’s with me? This is quality of housing, rent security, and feeding the network of support. I can’t think of a better microcosm of what I want to see in the world.

The scene was concerning enough to prompt the homeless shelter staff to call the fire department. A woman using a walker had shown up, incontinent and carrying “a large bag of medications.”

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles. That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org. (All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

Only five? Amateurs.

put them back!!

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Support independent media.

I need good thoughts tonight. Dysautonomia is trying to shut down my body and no one seems interested in working out a solution. I’m down another 10lbs since I transferred to subacute in February. Hovering around 110lbs. My body is so degraded. Send good thoughts. And happy pics.

Another experiment in arranging the news, this time a digest of the week. A lot like Face the Nation Diary for those who remember: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Southern Baptists are going to be real surprised when they find out how many Catholics there are in the US.

Guess what time it is? It's abortion fund-a-thon time! Help me support Jane's Due Process, helping teens access abortion in Texas (and beyond). JDP has been helping teens since before abortion was illegal in Texas, and now helps get pregnant people out, as well as providing Plan B to folks.

Beg my finest United Methodist pardon?

“Wade, who has six U.S. citizen children, was not deemed a priority for removal. But following a traffic stop in September, Wade was handed over by local police to ICE.” What county or city’s police did this? Names need naming. I just want to talk to somebody.

I am thinking, again, about Pastor Yeison Cortes Vasquez, from just up the road from me. I am thinking about how he spent Easter in a cage instead of with his congregation.

Much anticipated, from two brilliant scholars.

abc7news.com/post/us-immi... ⚠️For five months, the young father waited for his 3-year-old daughter's release from federal custody after she crossed the U.S.-Mexico border with her mother, hoping through delays for their safe reunion.

A pretty interesting story dropping re: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s race, anti-LGBTQ groups and the California GOP dropping tomorrow. Stay tuned.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

I wondered how WNBA players got a 400% raise. It only took a Nobel Prize winner in Economics. Claudia Goldin, I salute you. Gift link!

One person in this photo deserves a 20% WNBA revenue share and it’s not me. Congratulations to the WNBPA on their historic labor agreement.

After 15 years, gardeners at a Bushwick farm found themselves locked out of the green space that has fed thousands over the years, and lately became a temporary home for asylum seekers. www.thecity.nyc/2026/03/26/b...

I always wondered what happened to the sweet doggie.

A Harlem man died Sunday waiting to be arraigned on a low-level charge for allegedly stealing incense from CVS. Vincent Thoms “spent his final moments languishing in a jail cell,” Legal Aid said in a statement calling on city leaders to meaningfully address in-custody NYPD deaths.
