To me, if you plan to vote, there's no reason to vote on "official" election day if your state has early voting. Get it out of the way and keep it moving.

This culture has been around SF/Silicon Valley for decades. The scene was rife with it when I lived there, and, frankly, it’s a big part of the reason I left.

A politician who in private has a short fuse and curses a lot, has a dark sense of humor, and sometimes has staffers do odd personal tasks? Oh no, how terrible. I've never encountered such a thing. What an inconceivable shocking revelation.

It should be illegal to buy a company with debt and then sell it off to a foreign owner, but that fight was lost long ago. Anyway, now the Saudis own a truly distressing portion of American entertainment, from Hollywood to Video Games to Sports. This is not neutral behavior. Anyway.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.

New York stands for the dignity and human rights of all people. We mourn this tragic loss and extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones and the Tibetan community across our City.

Black text on white page that reads: 

Since January 1, we have seen the fewest murders, shooting victims and shooting incidents in our city's history, and the safest start of the year in public housing. 

This progress is the result of the hard work of the members of the NYPD and tens of thousands of public servants across City government who keep New Yorkers safe every day. 

We're not resting on our laurels. We will continue the work of building a city where everyone is safe.

the thing that’s been painfully obvious for years is that unchecked capital accumulation paired with gutting the social safety net and public goods was going to lead to commerce without customers. an economy built on consumption when no one has money to consume.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.
