I’m official! I’m now an NYC Care Captain. Care Captains take care of the street trees in their neighborhoods and help organize others to do the same.

It’s so important with climate change to have robust street trees to both shade us and absorb excess storm water.

Last night, yet another person died on Rikers Island — the fifth New Yorker to lose their life in City custody within the last two weeks and the 13th this year.

These deaths are a result of Eric Adams' failure to reckon with the crisis of violence and neglect in our jails.

A good question to ask oneself politically is 'what do I need to ignore in order to maintain my commitment to x, y, and z?' Because if you, for example, need to ignore a whole group of people's humanity in order to vote for a horrible politician, then it may be too costly to your soul.

Anyway. If you'd like to get in on the ground floor of building a trans community self-defense network in north Brooklyn, hit me up.

Lots of ways to participate, your contacts and good will with our neighbors will help a lot!

This week in court a white cis woman landlord started *literally crying* when I was doing my opening argument for my client and started saying to her lawyer "how is this allowed? How are these people just allowed to have a lawyer?" through tears, because evidently oppression is when due process

A hugely underdiscussed effect of the creeping fascism of ICE is that debt collectors and landlords are filing more cases against immigrants, even when they're inflated or outright falsified, because they know immigrants are too fearful of deportation to show up to court to fight them.
