And voting today gets you both a borough early voting sticker, a Halloween sticker and (!!!) apparently even a temporary tattoo at some polling stations (which, sadly, was not my polling station)😏

If you are a NY-er, you mostly despise Times Square and try to avoid it at all costs. But it was PERFECT for the energy of the protest! We were all saying that the craziest thing is that Times Square was redeemed for us all. We now have a fond memory of Times Square! So weird

Best part of the day: walking by the Hudson and meeting Tommy and his partner, Officer Joel. Tommy is the largest NYPD horse and was getting his exercise in before his shift in Times Square.
Really, magnificent animal!
Hope they both stayed safe and had a great shift!

Lots of grieving and sadness this 4th of July.
But for the amazing principles on which this country is founded: happy 4th.

I was wondering if the LA pushback yesterday was maybe the start of a new phase in this chapter.

Crazy statistic! Chicago has hosted more conventions than any other city... by a lot! John Mark Hansen (UChicago) presented a talk on Chicago's history hosting political party conventions. What explains its popularity? The geographic centrality of the city. #Chicago #DemocraticConvention #UChicago
