A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1979) and the narration is oddly soothing lol

It completely BAFFLES me that Paul McGann is showing to be one of the most interesting incarnations of the Doctor and aside from his appearance in the 1996 film and a tv special, he’s only appeared in radio dramas. I’d love to see more stories about this Doctor whether in book or comic. #BookSky

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Happy Halloween 👻

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Today is the birthday of Thaddeus "Ted" Shearer (Nov. 1, 1919–Dec. 26, 1992), cartoonist, advertising art director, veteran of WWII, & creator of the comic strip Quincy. He also illustrated the book series about young detective Billy Jo Jive, which became an animated segment on Sesame Street.

I visited Grand Street Senior Housing on the Lower East Side today and tried a little Bomba y Plena…

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

Tom Baker is such a gem and hearing him read this is such a treat (despite the end of the Spooky Season 🎃). If you haven’t listened to this, please give it a listen. 🎧

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.
