I think I’ve lost some practice being vulnerable or everything is just exhausting. But walking around town lately, this has been one of the most beautiful Falls in a long long time. The visuals are a welcomed sharp contrast to the news. I need these moments to recharge & keep going. 😭

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Would love to call my congressional rep about this illegal attack but my district has been rep-less since the death of Sylvester Turner in March bc the TX Governor refuses to hold an election to replace him in order to improve the GOP margin in Congress.

Gov. Greg Abbott sets Nov. 4 special election to fill U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner’s seat
The decision to wait until November means a narrowly divided Congress will be down a Democratic representative for most of 2025.

The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison:

- A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally.
- A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool.
- A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang.
- A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
