15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Go out and vote, New York City!

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

Live Updates: Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions in Birthright Citizenship Case

The racism and xenophobia this administration is trying to encode into our laws and institutions is blatant. So is the complete illegitimacy of SCOTUS as a bulwark against that lawlessness and immorality. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Brad Lander Is Arrested by ICE Agents at Immigration Courthouse

This country arrests leaders who protect their constituents' rights, and elects criminals who stoke violence and hatred. How long until the masked men come for you? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/n...

Now is a good a time as any to make my first bluesky post, and to have it be a reiteration of my long time refrain: WORK REQUIREMENTS DON'T WORK! Thanks to @behscientist.bsky.social for resurrecting this piece.
