So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's directive limiting immigrant families' access to Head Start.

Children and their families will continue having access to critical education while the case continues.

While riding the B or Q trains between Dekalb Ave station and the Manhattan Bridge, you may catch a glimpse of "Masstransiscope," a public art installation by Bill Brand. It was added to the #NYCsubway system in 1980.

"Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it's because it is hard.”

ICE detainees face new obstacles to release from jail β€” even for deportation. Costly legal requirements and international political conflicts are among roadblocks encountered by detainees seeking release or deportation.

Democrats, learn from Zohran and AOC on how to win over the masses. Look at the messaging. Look at the issues. Look at how they communicate.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

Fact check: Was suspected assassin Boelter close with MN Gov. Walz? Boelter was appointed to an advisory board in 2019, but one member says the board does not interact with the governor on a regular basis.

I'm going to get ahead of some uninformed outrage. The second-degree murder charges against Vance Boelter are all that can be brought against him *right now.* Prosecutors can charge him with first-degree premeditated murder, but that requires a grand jury indictment, not just a criminal complaint.

Walter Cronkite, who was described as the most trusted man in America, once said:

β€œFreedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.”

Paramount: Stand up for a free press and our democracy. Do not capitulate to Trump's dangerous move to authoritarianism.

This morning marked 160 years since the death of Abraham Lincoln.

If you think that was a long time ago, think of it this way:

If a baby born the morning Lincoln died lived to be 80, then a baby born the day that child died is 80 today.

History is here now, and it’s happening.
