Another opportunity to stand up and be counted. This one organized by a host of trusted organizations -- including NY Working Families Party, Indivisible Brooklyn, UAW, and my own beloved NYC Democratic Socialists. Two rallies this Wed. Feb. 19th -- Noon & 5:30. See you there!

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up took $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Eric Adams may not be going to prison, but on June 24 we have the chance to make sure he’s not going back to Gracie Mansion either.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

I used to review kids' books professionally, and on awards day, my editor & I used to watch the livestream & text back and forth. Sometimes, a book we hadn't reviewed would snag a big award so I'd buy a copy quickly, & turn a review around in an hour. Congrats to all winners! #ala #yma #alayma

Four days into the new administration, the Department of Education says "so-called 'book bans'" are a "hoax" and has terminated all complaints and investigations. Courts and PEN America say otherwise.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Folks - wrote an article @thenation.com about how a pro-Palestinian Canadian professor Nathan Kalman-Lamb was denied entry in the United States on Friday for a book talk... about college football. Is this the new normal? www.thenation.com/article/soci...

By the way, my take on this is that if you don’t know where to start, seek out local DSA, NAACP, and Black Lives Matter chapters. They might not be the right home for you, but they give you an opportunity to meet people and start figuring things out.

Just finished reading MAA, a Bengali novel by Anurupa Devi, originally published in 1920, and newly translated into English. MAA follows two co-wives trapped in an ill-fated love triangle, and is a page turner in all the best senses. @rupa_publications #bengali #books #bengalibooks

I got a copy of STILL LIFE by @alexlondon.bsky.social and @paulozelinsky.com for my young friend Mara, thinking she would grow into it, but her (artist) mom tells me she's repeatedly asked her to read it, and is in love with the illustrations. I cornered Paul at Books of Wonder to sign it. Perfect!

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.
