Can’t pass up stopping for a cheesy city government installation.

I’m lucky to have patient friends who humor me.

Free night of nostalgia.

Good trouble at the Federal Courthouse.

Spent yesterday morning observing housing court. The system needs more funding:

-I saw a case proceed without a needed translator because none was available

-A judge handled 113 cases in a day

-Funding gaps mean only 61% of eligible people receive counsel

We must do better

The Data of Mass Deportation | The Brian Lehrer Show | WNYC A look at the data behind Trump's mass deportation policy, particularly the increasing numbers of migrants arrested by ICE and living in detention facilities across the country.

ICE has ~58,000 detainees at 200 facilities nationwide. Tom Homan says “we’re just getting started…you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

@BrianLehrer had callers “help put humanity on the bones of these numbers.”

Thankful we have him @WNYC in terrifying times.

Can’t knock that NY hustle.

Bill Moyers’ journalism strengthened democracy by connecting Americans to ideas and each other, in a long and extraordinary career A scholar who worked with him for decades observes that what mattered to Moyers was not how close you were to power, but how close you got to reality.

The late Bill Moyers on living in a time where democracy is threatened:

“You can’t quit. You can’t get out of the boat! Find a place that gives you a sense of being, gives you a sense of mission, gives you a sense of participation”

Legitimately feel sick. We are hours away from the largest cuts to low-income people in history. People’s lives will be ruined. It is so unfair. It’s unfair to be born into a system that allows this level of poverty in the first place and it’s evil to rip away aid from the needy. Hard to watch this.

My early voting site was so busy they ran out of the right stickers.

Appreciate the poll workers for humoring us handing out this one and working these long shifts.

New York’s preppers.

SCOTUS’ decision yesterday targeted children, was in defiance of experts like the American Medical Association, & could serve as a stepping stone towards further limiting access to abortion, IVF, & birth control.

Grateful to electeds & orgs like @nyclu.org for standing up at this truly scary time.

I'm SO EXCITED FOR THIS. NYC come throughhhhh!

psssstttt nyc your early voting spot is often different from your primary day voting site, pass it onnnn

look up is up heeeere <3

The scariest part about Lander being arrested is that we can all see what happened. We can hear him asking to see a warrant and not resisting. We can all see a bunch of guys without badges wearing masks arresting him. It's scary because we can see it all and they don't even care.

@harvey4council.bsky.social Pride Night!

We must never accept or normalize political violence. Targeted assassination of elected officials is as much a threat to the survival of our democracy as anything else happening in our country right now. My thoughts are with the victims and their families, and the people of MN.

At today’s 3rd Ave street fair we continued the tradition Louise Dankberg started!

Tis the season for questions from friends.

Register to vote by next Saturday, 6/14! e-register.vote.nyc

“THE CITY spoke with several dazed and damp-eyed family members throughout the course of the afternoon, trying to figure out news of their loved ones who had appeared in court only to be whisked out of view.” Horrifying.

Great way to kick off Pride!
