This past Sunday, from 8am to 8pm, New Yorkers from every corner of our city traveled to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria to share their dreams, their worries, the change they want to see across New York. It was an honor listening to each of them.

I can't stress enough that you should take every opportunity that comes your way to support your local public libraries. Many of them are currently struggling and are being DEFUNDED. Local action matters on this front. Don't sit back until those libraries are gone before taking ACTION.

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.

We go to sleep in a better country than we woke up in. Thank you to everyone who worked for these coast-to-coast victories, for this utter repudiation of Trumpism, for economic justice and a country for all of us, not for white supremacy.

Some of this stuff is easily remedied with Pop-Up community created "history of US chattel slavery" exhibitions in front of parks, museums, community centers etc... Folks can also just stand out front and hand out zines on the topic to people who are visiting these sites and spaces.

LGBTQ people and our history will never be erased, and the lives taken at Pulse will never be forgotten.
In the dead of night, Ron DeSantis ordered the rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial painted over — defacing a sacred space in the heart of Orlando that honors the 49 lives stolen in one of the deadliest massacres in U.S. history.

We cannot overstate the cruelty of this horrifying EO.
When will our “leaders” take meaningful action? It is obvious they have learned NOTHING from history. It is no longer party politics flitting about. This is humanity and morality, and we are failing.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.
This is horrifying beyond words.

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?
1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge
2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients
3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

If your first instinct to a community defending their friends, families, and neighbors from murderous fascists looking to kidnap them is to say, "Maybe they should be more polite about it," you're probably not on the side you think you are.
