"I'm supposed to be tough. What happens if I faint?"- here's fun footage of Curtis Sliwa & Mayor Mamdani getting their flu shots together, including Mamdani offering to hold Sliwa's hand 😆 (Sliwa takes him up on it!) (Flu season is approaching and NYers can find free flu shots at nyc.gov/healthmap)

I wish people who "just have questions" about trans issues would spend even five minutes just *trying* to research trans issues. Because the inevitable conclusion I get from 95% of people who do this is that all they really want is their internal discomfort with trans people validated.

It may not be much, but I just deleted the weather forecast for Cupertino on my iPhone. Apple tracks literally everything you do to save for “data”—so maybe delete it to send them a message.

For his next magic trick, Ed Markey will run for president at age 84 and astonish the country by winning 400 electoral votes after appearing on Joe Rogan and telling him to go fuck himself.

I stopped by NYC Parks’ family camping program at Inwood Hill Park on Friday. We made s’mores, talked about s’mores, and learned how to build a fire (for s’mores). Family camping is just one of the Urban Park Rangers’ many free outdoor programs. Check the schedule for more details: nycgovparks.org
Mayor Mamdani roasts marshmallows with 4 children.A woman waves from behind booth with a sign that reads “Welcome to Ranger Camp”Children dance around a campfire A little boy smiles excitedly as Mayor Mamdani greets a crowd of campers.

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) 

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The nearly $60 MILLION taxpayer dollars that Andrew Cuomo has spent on his personal legal cases serve zero purpose besides his personal reputation. Simple yes or no question: Will he return this money to NYC taxpayers?

I want my newBluesky account to be more like me. One tiny “Fight the Power” thing you can do is to start making some of your own products. If you want to learn about how to make anything… Just ask! I never need to buy soap from corporations ever again. And lots of other stuff, too. Just ask!!!

Last night we had a Christmas party for a bunch of nurses at the restaurant. As about 50 of them posed for their holiday photo, instead of saying “Cheese” they shouted out, “Free Luigi!” I was stunned.
