I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.

With the #1 ranked endorsement of @nywfp.bsky.social, we’re going to turn the page on the corrupt politics of the past and win a city we can afford. Early voting starts June 14.

DO NOT RANK CUOMO

We only know that Andrew Cuomo advised a foreign crypto exchange convicted of breaking U.S. law because a @bloomberg.com reporter uncovered it. Now he's ruling out telling us about *any* of his other clients. This is how public corruption festers.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

trying to find some stats about climate-related heatwave risks today. USAID's Heat Action Hub, a website dedicated to sharing research on responses to deadly heatwaves, has been disappeared. Unsurprising but nonetheless horrifying and worth documenting #usaid #climate #heatwaves #doge

Yesterday’s adventure: collecting settled pollution from the George Washington Bridge, adding to a clear glaze and starting some glaze tests. All part of a big project underway to use clay to express the experience of breathing in NYC #dataxdesign2025 #pottery #ceramics #gross

Playing around with the amphora form in preparation for a large project, these two just wanted to be stuck together, as though they’d been under the sea, slowly becoming more tightly connected, becoming their own little ecosystem #pottery #ceramics #amphora

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
