Hey #Ithaca, I'm ISO a new #COVIDcautious and community-minded roommate to share my great 2 BR apartment in Fall Creek.
I'm a fan of clear communication, boundaries, personal responsibility, creativity, joy and my cats.
The apartment is great, and management is responsive.

I sincerely hope that Stephen Miller’s last minute endorsement of Andrew Cuomo ensures Mamdani’s win.
We’ve got fascists and billionaires pushing for a serial sexual offender … or a young progressive with real policies that people actually want.
No wonder the establishment is scared.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

In my experience, courage is usually the product of love and/or solidarity. When we are deeply invested in each other, we are more likely to take risks that we wouldn't take out of mere principle, or for the sake of people we feel disconnected from. Our alienation mass produces cowardice.

There it is folks. The brilliant Dem strategy, according to the genius pundits with the ear of Dem leadership, is to let Trump keep doing everything he's doing but only if we can also help Republicans avoid paying a political price for hurting people long enough to hold the House and Senate in 2026
