I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime.
This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.
I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.
"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."
BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

How do we get the media to draw attention to the devastating effect the foreign aid freeze is having on the most vulnerable populations globally?

including the 90+ year old who asks, “So is our church going to get political?” “How are we going to respond to what is coming, and what are we are going to say and do to support migrants and journalists?” If he can be so earnest and committed at age 90-plus, then I can certainly stay in the fight.

I am grateful for the resisters on here and the journalists creating independent media sites. I am trying to hold on to hope, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that the world is ending in one week.1/1

Part of my coping mechanism this holiday season, as we await the end of the known world, seems to be buying people more presents than usual.

Still ricocheting between dismay and resolve, escapism and eyes wide open. Currently on the bus thinking there has to be a portal somewhere to an alternative universe where Harris won. I never found the portal in 2016. Surely I can find it now? I will bounce back to reality and resolve soon.

I can’t compete with the amazing photographers on here, but I Iove taking photos on my walks around the neighborhood. Here are two from tonight. St. James and the moon, and the lights at Ralph Lauren.
