This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for @unrwausa.bsky.social, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza.

I hope you'll join me in donating: unrwausa.org

This is not a time for media literacy or historical knowledge to be held hostage by institutions bending the knee to authoritarianism.

Needing a break from there because there are too many miserable people over there.

Please tell me y'all got sense over here

I've done a better job of keep my banana pudding recipe a secret than the current administration with national security stuff.

Jet lag Improvement: I woke up at 5am today instead of 330am like yesterday. It was a SLOG.

But then I forgot my airpods at home so I'm rawdogging at a loud gym that thinks it's a club at 702am. 🫠🫠🫠

I've come to rely on noise reduction headphones.

Ok so when a Black Woman says someone is racist, I'm going to believe them. 12/10 times. I've seen random tizzyent posts but I hit that BLOCK button once someone said he was anti-Black and then someone else cosigned and a bunch of commenters agreed. That's enough for me. Should be for y'all too.

I received this message in an email about the plan going forward to engage with voters differently:

"Year-Round Organizing and Listening to Voters—Not Just Talking at Them"

... This is new? Kinda scary.

The CJ does the most while getting to O'Hare chronicles continue:

It's 12:18 pm and we're pulling into Addison on the Blue Line. Flight starts boarding in 22 mins.

When flight attendants tell you to sit your ass down and buckle up, there's a reason. Grateful that everyone on DL4819 is expected to live.

You NEVER know when conditions may change.

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

And this is why I gave up my NYT subscription after 20 years.
This NYT sleight-of-hand is part of why Trump’s insane racism flourishes. The implication is that it’s possible to “attack diversity” WITHOUT a “racist undercurrent.”

And it “surfaces” - as though Trump hasn’t been a rabid and explicit racist for years, and this is some new tone.

Ive been thinking about this.

During the next round of primaries in 26, 27, and 28, Illinois can primary every incumbent Dem EXCEPT FOR Gov. Jay Robert (JB) Pritzker. I mean all levels of govenrmwr, from city council to US senator. Y'all need to earn a vote this time.

The news is heavy. There's just bad news all around.

My heart aches for the plane crash victims.
For those under attack for simply existing.
For those being actively erased.
For those unsure if they'll still have a job, a home, and/ or the ability to eat.

We have to do better.

Public health doesn't pause. We're still here - providing Illinoisans with health information you can trust.

I don't want to nitpick but in my mind a small plane carries like 8 or 10 people. A CRJ700 can hold up to 65 passengers plus crew.

Wording like these can minimize the importance of a situation. Especially when it's a commercial airline flight.
