New Yorkers sweat the small stuff, so why shouldn't their city government?    From potholes to permits to parents needing a night off, there is no problem too big — and no task too small — for us to tackle.

I’d feel extremely safe on this flight because I already know they had to work twice as hard, be twice as good and make half as many mistakes just to get into those seats. Black women make up less than 1% of professional pilots. Yeah, I’d sleep good on this flight. ✈️

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.

my mom showed me Aliens when I was 5yo and the women in that movie (especially Sigourney Weaver) imprinted on my tiny brain that women will fuck your shit up and not stop until one of you dies, which is an important lesson for little boys to learn early

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

I’m reading There Is No Place for Us, by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social and one thing keeps hitting me over and over: Homelessness is rarely a single event. It’s a cascade. A cancer diagnosis. A lost job. Depression. A missed paycheck. A broken car. A wait for mental healthcare. An eviction. 🧵

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

FFS this would have to be satire if I didn't see it posted on the official White House page.
"A social media post from 'The White House' features a quote from President Donald J. Trump about sending a hospital boat to Greenland. Below the text is a painting of a large hospital ship, flying an American flag and marked with a red cross, sailing on a choppy sea towards a bright sunrise or sunset over distant mountains."

This week @jamellebouie.net had some questions for me about where the US is at now and why the term "concentration camp" might be a useful way to think about the crisis. (He interviewed me eight years ago for Slate on a similar topic. Let's hope we don't end up having the same discussion in 2034.)
