Last night marked Kuf Alef Kislev—the 81st anniversary of the Satmar Rebbe's escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. His rescue and founding of Williamsburg's Hasidic community shaped our city. Grateful to celebrate this history with the community and greet the rebbes.

If you're looking for more meaningful Christmas presents, make sure to consider @thinkorswim.bsky.social's recently bublished book Lie of the Land: a gripping, vital read.
Delighted to announce that my first book, THE LIE OF THE LAND, is due for publication on September 4th next via @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social.
It's a frank assessment of Ireland and the #Climate emergency, with a roadmap towards a more food and energy-secure future.

Millions of hectares are still being cut down every year. How can we protect global forests?
