New York, city of invention,
Roiling town, refresher
And re-newer,

New York, city of the real,
Where the canyons
Whisper in a hundred
Tongues,

New York,
Where your lucky self
Waits for your
Arrival,

Where there is always soil
For your root.

This is our time.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The rule wasnt going to ban asbestos. It wasnt going to overhaul the cosmetics industry. It wasnt even going to cost corporations much money. It simply would have forced them to test their products & tell us if they contained a carcinogen. And somehow even that—even transparency—was too much to ask.

I'm sure that's coincidence, though.
