I love books, music, cooking, Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC, democracy, and fighting authoritarianism.

I wish the Democratic 'war room' would broadcast a daily news summary covering stories like these that for some unexplicable reason!!! go underreported by traditional media.

Marshaling is a great life-learning experience and you'll be a part of the history that succesfully defended democracy.

Sad that we have to protest outside 26 Federal Plaza, NYC because the federal government is attacking journalists and sending them to the hospital, but we do and we will.

"We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either." is a strong rallying cry.

A moment of silence at a huge ICE Out of NYC march in downtown Manhattan. I mourned and reflected on what more I could do.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Jimmy Kimmel, if you’re reading this: the door is open. We would love for you to lead an effective resistance to the authoritarianism. You're as capable as anyone, and we need more leaders desperately.

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

D.C. residents rallied near the White House this morning to protest President Trump’s federal takeover of city law enforcement.

Free DC led a rally near LaFayette Square this morning, where speakers called on D.C. area residents to fight back President Trump’s β€˜fascist’ federal takeover.

Protesters in NYC blocked the street in front of 26 Federal Plazaβ€”where ICE is inhumanely kidnapping and detaining peopleβ€”to demand their release.

Refusing to budge until people were released, more than a dozen protesters were arrested by the NYPD while they screamed, β€œLet them go, or we stay too!”

we don't actually know what's going to *work* so we need to try many different kinds of things and that means that a lot of what people are trying will not be your choice of action.
