Sounds like someone who isn’t focused on his government job and should have his position eliminated

Dear manager, 1) It’s me, hi 2) I’m the problem, it’s me 3) At tea time, everybody agrees 4) I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror 5) It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

I’m squirming a little that this reads like humblebragging—should’ve made the larger point that only hit me later (so to speak): nobody was doing anything to help these women. Now more than ever we’ve got to have each others’ backs. Strength in numbers is the only way. We gotta stand up & step in

Got sucker punched by some guy harassing women on the subway who got big mad that I shifted to stand between him & them. Then he punched my partner & ran away. The women are ok & we are too, just swollen & a few little cuts. Here’s hoping karma visits that sociopath soon. Be careful out there 🫠

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

She wasn’t heated at all. She was calm and controlled in the face of Trump’s petulant hissy fit. Brava.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
