Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:
Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.
To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

This quilt by Ricky Tims is named "Fire Dragon Rhapsody." Jazzing-up a traditional design with bold colors and fabric is his gift. I'll attach a close-up, in hopes that you can see the trapunto gragons.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

The same people spent the last decade justifying Black folks being choked to death on camera… they’ve been practicing
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

Amazing that neither Trump, nor any member of his cabinet, is facing impeachment proceedings right now. 🤷♀️
And to preempt: I don't care if it will fail — do it anyway.
And when it fails — do it again.

Older adults in the U.S. are dying of malnutrition at alarming rates. One way to help is to support local senior nutrition programs, like Meals on Wheels.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

It is perfectly reasonable and, in fact, moral to be shaken, bereft and enraged by that woman’s murder. And all that her murder represents. Let the hurt wear you out.
But also, let the hurt push you to reach out and connect with people in your life who get it. Do NOT allow the hurt to isolate you.
