“The mass killing in Kenscoff underscores the urgent need for national authorities to enhance the protection of the population, particularly communities living in areas affected by gang violence.”

This is a shame. Reporters who are worth following like @jccoltin.bsky.social should realize that some of us are intentionally *not* on the other site & we'd engage with them more if they posted updates here, too. Glad that New Kings will be posting.

The CLARITY Act is the bill supported by the crypto industry to increase their reach into our banking system and broader economy. There are many problems with the bill, but most egregious is that is essentially legalizes Donald Trump's crypto corruption scheme. Let me explain.

I'm concerned about my kids seeing transphobic/homophobic & other hateful content because that's wrong but when they see it, we discuss it. But it's hard to fathom why a parent would be scared of their kids seeing discussion of gender themes or trans people. Comments due to the FCC by May 22 btw.

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Reductions in Force not required by shutdowns, have never happened in any previous shutdown, and a judge has ruled they are illegal. The shutdown is an excuse, not a reason, for them to do what they wanted to do: destroy government.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1. Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
We refuse to let neighbors go hungry while politicians posture.
We can stand up a street-level safety net in days.
Neighborhood plan: "Block Food
Steward" model
One steward per block. A volunteer with a single shelf or 2-3 totes of staples who coordinates quiet, no-shame help.
Starter shelf (suggested):
10 lb rice • 10 lb dry beans • 8 lb
pasta
12 cans vegetables • 12 cans protein (tuna/chicken/beans)
2 large peanut butter • 2 shelf-stable milk packs • 1 cooking oil
Baby formula (sealed), diapers (mixed sizes), wipes, soap, toothpasteHow it works:
1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked."
2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used.
3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4."
4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names.
Comment to volunteer: STEWARD
- [Your Street Name]
Comment to donate: DONOR -
[Item or $ pledge]
Need help? DM me the word BAG.
No shame.Volunteer at food banks this week.
Show up for a 2-hour shift. Sorting, bagging, intake, there's a role for everyone.
Donate smart. Shelf-stable staples first; ask for priority items before dropping off.
Be kind to clerks. They didn't create this mess. They're catching the fallout.
Hunger is not a negotiating tactic.
Contact your state and federal reps today and demand:
An immediate SNAP/WIC bridge with retroactive benefits.
No more hostage-taking of basic nutrition assistance.De-link food aid from unrelated fights. Fix the pipeline, then debate policy.
No politics at the pantry door. We help first, argue later.
No purity tests. If someone says they're short on food, we feed them.
Dignity and privacy. DM, porch drop-offs, initials only.
Safety: sealed formula only, check dates, store cool/dry, pet-safe.
The Timeline?
Tonight: Name stewards; seed each shelf with a starter kit.
Within 48 hours: Every block has at least one steward, a group text, and a small reserve.
