In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

This is for all the politicians, doctors, health officials and journalists who, since 2020, have been decrying the “politicization” of public health—a deeply unhelpful, misleading framing of public health that has facilitated its partisan capture and destruction now. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This essay out today is the first to name and describe "fascist anti-psychiatry"––a self-contradictory conjunction born of Trump and RFK Jr's cynical opportunism rather than any principled or coherent ideology.

RFK Jr.’s Mental Health Bait and Switch
The newly anointed HHS secretary is weaponizing legitimate anger at the failures of current psychiatric care to gut public services, abandon poor and disabled people, and expand the police state.

Why are people drawn to RFK's false promises? Why do they have so little trust in medical institutions and why are they willing, even eager, to see them dismantled? We've enforced desperation on millions of now very manipulable people––and we're all now paying for it.

We’re at city hall this morning to release a letter signed by 60+ rabbis & Jewish clergy calling on our mayor & governor to make New York City & State a sanctuary for ALL New Yorkers — no matter where someone came from or how long they’ve been here. Read the letter: drive.google.com/file/d/1w1mH...

Every single stupid conversation I’ve had with a scientist about anticipatory obedience and historical comparisons over the last week has had me thinking about how scientists’ political incompetence is one of the major arguments for a liberal arts education

Like you’re literally a tool without it
A bunch of needs in labcoats:

"If we comply with the fascists demands they'll surely let us keep up our research"

Those same scientists months or years before:

"Eh, I'll skip history class. I wanna be a scientists. Not a historian lol"
Besides being cruel, anticipatory obedience doesn’t work www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions.

Nope.
