It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Today I proposed two amendments to the Republican budget reconciliation bill to 1) protect access to reproductive health care and 2) protect our federal workforce & SNAP.
Republicans tried to sneak this bill through in the dead of the night.
Dems have been here since 1am holding up the bill.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

It’s very telling what RFK deems makes someone worthy of existence: paying taxes & working. We are so much more than what we monetarily contribute to our community and society. We deserve better than this BS.
It’s also clear that they have no idea what Autism is.

Good morning, friends. Take a break from doom-scrolling this weekend. Unplug, step outside, and connect with those who bring you joy. Rest is resistance. 💚

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

There are people standing up and resisting. Everyday people. We need more of this from our elected leaders, businesses, & community leaders. It’s time to get loud, stop softening language, and not stop until we see meaningful change.
