Our Mayor-elect and a certain Senator from Vermont walked the picket line with the Starbucks workers in Park Slope today. I was able to hear them speak, but because I am vertically challenged, I couldn't see them--except through other people's cameras. I did get photos of an ear and a forehead.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to vote for someone I genuinely like. www.facebook.com/reel/2219280...

The mainstream media was pretty much absent, as far as I can tell. And even if they are there, they aren't saying much. I believe it is my responsibility to share what I can. More photos here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

Yes, I'm going back to World Fellowship Center next week! This is so worth the trip. Hope to see some of you there. (Sliding scale fee listed for the week is in addition to room and board.)

A few of my photos from my first trip this summer to World Fellowship Center. More here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

I saw a post this morning that there was a gestapo—I mean ICE— raid at a carwash in our neighborhood. I guess it was more than a rumor. Post below from NYC Councilmember Shahana Hanif. I've also heard that her office is seeking any video, etc, of the raid.

Sunday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. -Jacob Riis

#HandsOffSocialSecurity this week. When asked for a quote, I had to think "we're here about Social Security right now." That was hard, as what had kept me up the night before was concentration camps. But I think the reporter got the quote right. It was OK considering I hadn't planned it.

Coming out of the subway going to #handsoff march NYC.

After the marches and protests tomorrow afternoon, there is this happening at the Peoples' Voice Cafe tomorrow night. Hope to see you there!

Because we now--especially now--need moments of peace and serenity, here are some photos from last week at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Tomorrow, March 16, at Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. The Brooklyn Women's Chorus will be providing the music for this platform, and one of our members, Bobbie Sackman, will be a presenter. In person at BSEC's new space on 4th Ave, or on zoom. bsec.org/events/a-car...

In front of Schumer’s house right now.

🚨Join us for an emergency rally outside @schumer.senate.gov’s at 8am FRI morning at 9 Prospect Park West to tell him to vote NO on cloture & the Trump/Musk budget! 🚨 @indivisible.org @marisakabas.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @popdemocaction.bsky.social @foodandwater.bsky.social

Today in NYC protest.... I was only there for the tail end of this women's rights demo--I saw many people already leaving. But there were a few dozen still on 47th Street when I arrived.

Schumer: (212) 486-4430 Gillibrand: (212) 688-6262 Jeffries: (718) 237-2211 Goldman: (718) 312-7575 Clarke: (718) 287-1142 Velazquez: (718) 599-3658 Malliotakis: (718) 306-1620

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

After another restless night filled with nightmares, it was good to read this this morning. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/people-get-r...

Right now in front of the F*x «News» building.

Two bullet points of what I have done so far today: • Called Representative to encourage him to hold the line on the budget. I got a person in the Brooklyn office, but left a message on the DC number. • Sent an email to my contacts who may not be on social media about no shopping on Friday 2/28.

Join us this Saturday for a conversation w/ Kambale Musavuli (@kambale) about the latest from eastern DRC and into deep background and concrete actions we can each/all take to support #FreeCongo & to end #ConflictGold & #ConflictColtan. Register ahead to join us: worldfellowship.org/event/crisis...

In front of Hakeem Jeffries' Brooklyn office today, requesting that he grow a spine and stand up against the fascistic crime spree. And it was very cold.

Leonard Peltier is on his way home! I was so afraid they would find some way to stop it. Some good news today.

Today in NYC.

Dupree (with Barry Kornhauser) performing the songs of Bev Grant! Come in person or watch online! (Note that Bev is being honored, not performing).

“…We know that the WFC founders hoped to create a space & foster a movement that would stand firm against such horrors as those listed above – and the more unthinkable horrors that will certainly come if we all do not take immediate action.” worldfellowship.org/wp-content/u... #BuildTheResistance

I have seen and heard several times that the coup isn't a coup because of the courts. Question: are the criminals paying attention to court orders? Who enforces the court orders? Are the criminals facing off with police? Are they quietly leaving the places they are blocked from taking over?

Got my overdue TDAP booster last month and my overdue pneumonia vaccine yesterday. As the pharmacist said, as he was giving me the shot, better to do this now while you can. I plan on another Covid vaccine in the Spring, if they still exist.

Dupree and Barry Kornhauser today at Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture.

This was a quarter of a century ago. Yes, my grandson is 25 today!

Coming up this weekend! (And the Brooklyn Women's Chorus will be performing four songs for the Friday evening concert.) peoplesmusic.org/Winter-Conve...

Dupree and Barry Kornhauser right now

Why are Democrats rushing to seek "common ground" with Trump II? It's confusing and demoralizing. I mean, if you are going to say he's a "fascist" and a "threat to democracy" either act like you mean it, or don't say it. open.substack.com/pub/theconne...

Our block right now. National Grid is replacing pipe. This photo was taken from under the scaffolding at the soon to be demolished church. Across from the garage, next to the church, is a building getting a gut renovation. The white truck is across the street from our house. It’s a bit noisy here.

Contact your reps!

Bill’s conspiracy theory is true, and here’s a related one: Your utility also knows solar power is cheaper, which is why it’s probably building a lot of it to sell to you, while using its political influence to prevent you from putting your own on your roof. (Hi FPL!)

What made my skin burn most wasn’t that over 75 million people voted for Donald Trump. It was that this election didn’t seem to measurably change anything for the boys around me, whether their parents supported Mr. Trump or not. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/16/o...

OK, I'm here now.
