Senior Counsel at the Brennan Center, working on criminal justice policy and understanding the impact of federal funding cuts. Hopefully building a better world for everyone, especially two little girls. Views my own, dad jokes and sci-fi takes welcome.
Yes! And go to the places people live; Tribeca and the Upper East/West Sides are a lot of fun to visit. NOT Times Square and NOT Midtown East. Enjoy!

Very pretty but too diluted/unsaturated for my tastes -- at least in the pens I use. But some people prefer their inks that way, and results may vary in different nibs!

Kindles are a vastly underappreciated part of the parenting toolkit. Rocking a baby to sleep? Holding a sick baby for hours so she can sleep on your shoulder? Bring an e-reader with you! Unlike a trade hardcover, they're light and can be held and operated with one hand!

Also Patrick - I hope it goes without saying that I'm glad you and yours are safe!

If either of you folks have data on this I'd be really, really interested...

New analysis from my @brennancenter.org colleagues Dr. Josy Hahn and Ruby Nidiry. See our growing series on the fallout from Department of Justice funding cuts: www.brennancenter.org/series/effec...
Effects of Federal Funding Cuts on Public Safety
The loss of Justice Department grants and other federal funds will hurt efforts to reduce crime in communities nationwide.
