S. Korea has doubled the budget for its massive universal basic income experiment, increasing the number of rural counties included in it from 7 to 12, and relieving counties of more of the cost. As a result, the number of participants in the 2-yr UBI pilot will go from ~250k to near 400,000 people.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

"Should those enduring genocide be the ones to tell those outside how to act? Can we take an hour or two off from being exterminated so we can brainstorm ideas to help our friends outside Gaza figure out what to do to stop the killing, starvation and destruction...?"

Don't ask me what you can do for us in Gaza
Global action must surpass the scale of the genocide for it to end.

Here’s your reminder that one of DHS’s main jobs is disaster response, not cutting promos about terrorizing immigrants. Thousands have been displaced. Where’s Trump? Where’s Kristi Noem? Where’s FEMA?

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"

I had a nice hike up to Sunfish Pond yesterday and Nobo on the Appalachian Trail for a few miles. As my knee recovers I am continuing work on my fundraiser for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. Link in bio.

"Drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something."

May we continue work towards a society that puts the care of its people and the place we live at the heart of its mission (because seriously WTF else is the priority).
As we see ANOTHER huge drop in the cost of curing tuberculosis, I am reminded that 1. drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something, and 2. the fruits of activism are often harvested over many years. Thanks to all the folks who made this happen. www.stoptb.org/news/breakin...
