RIP to a North Dakota legend.
Marilyn Hagerty used to sometimes write her restaurant reviews addressed to her deceased sister, and I just like to think that they’re together now, enjoying Olive Garden breadsticks in the afterlife.

Marilyn Hagerty, who went viral reviewing an Olive Garden, dies at 99
Readers knew her as a chronicler of North Dakota life. But her review of a Grand Forks restaurant brought her wide recognition, including from Anthony Bourdain.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.
Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Excellent news for the NYC left:
There were 10 city council members of the Progressive Caucus who faced primary challengers today, some of them very ideologically polarized primaries.
All 10 incumbents are leading *by a lot.*

Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze.
I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies.
Our campaign is surging because unlike Andrew Cuomo, we know what working people need and deserve.

Awesome to see Chappell Roan speaking out about health care! We have a ton of thoughts about this. Our research found that musicians have lacked health insurance at about 3 times the rate of the general population.
