Just walked from the D train platform at Atlantic to Q/B and was so energized by the range of New Yorkers going about their daily business - work, school, art, socializing - why would we ever be afraid of the mix of old and new arrivals

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
