As we continue to stress out, confront intense anger that some of us have never felt before, burning hatred that some of us despise and advocate to end, there's no denying that it's real and is affecting us all. My hope is always that we find our own way to hold it together & remain our true selves.

thirst while ignoring neighborhood needs. As worded and crafted, this is an Eric Adams departing FU to the city & boroughs. Yes, we need affordable housing, but there must be proper approval & we MUST stay away from irresponsible development & gentrification these proposals would cater to.

To NYC voters, PLEASE vote NO on the misleading/crafty worded proposals 2,3 & 4 when voting❗These proposals would eliminate New Yorkers' power to fight for affordable housing in neighborhood development. It would affect unions negatively & bypass city council approval & prioritize developers

So happy this morning. The small booth we set up in the front lobby was fantastic. I think the fact that we offered free coffee ☕ and donuts 🍩 helped. Ha! AND we successfully registered 19 new NYC voters! 🗽 🍎 🗳️❗

Have a great Friday everyone & a safe and happy weekend! 🍂💙

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

It's beyond difficult to even experience a "usual" or "laid back" day anymore. I'm packing all my free time outside of my jobs, in helping a few folks who are struggling with food on their table, covering canvases with abstracts, reducing my device time & making sure I am safe in my surroundings.

2025 and there are still heartless, vile, cruel & putrid minds still entertaining the thought that "conversion therapy" is humane or effective. FU and your justification and hate that hides behind a church or religion.

Supreme Court skeptical of state bans on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ kids

The court heard arguments in a case brought by Kaley Chiles, a Christian talk therapist in Colorado, who argues that the state's ban violates her First Amendment rights.

Have a great Wednesday.

☕ 🍩

A dozen mixed donuts in box from Dunkin' Donuts minus 1 (I already ate one before pic) and 3 large bags of fresh ground Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

For those still entertaining "prime day," how about skipping on the shit you don't really need and buy lunch for someone who is hungry or hand a few dollars to the homeless person that people step over everyday on the sidewalk or entryway.

Think about it & have a pleasant Tuesday.

"Only half the country votes during a presidential election, much less state, local and other federal elections. So I think the puzzlement by the media and the attempts to try to jam these shooters into an ideological box was not just misguided, it doesn’t describe what most of the country is like."

Last week I talked to @kenklippenstein.bsky.social, who is very good at this reporting thing, about the recent political assassinations and how the Trump White House is weaponizing them. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

The meme-ification of political violence

It's less ideology than the internet — what the media and Trump don't understand about the current wave of shootings.

People who are in this country illegally, DO NOT receive or are even eligible for SNAP or Medicaid benefits. This is the same in EVERY state.

STOP believing this ridiculous wad of LIES with extra bullshit they are pandering to you.

I'm beyond sick of gullible folks entertaining this.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Received my NYS inflation refund check today and I'm grateful to Gov Hochul for keeping her word and making it happen for so many of us hard working New Yorkers to be able to have a few extra bucks back. Promises made, kept and words put to action.

A venomous snake and a liar. DON'T fall for this or give in to this craft and hook.
Period. Dems should NEVER negotiate with home grown terrorists and blobs that are so full of shit, their roots show it.

Johnson gives ‘assurance’ to top Senate Dem he'll move government funding bills

But the speaker says Democrats must first vote to end the shutdown.
