It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies.

The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

Love this.
While Starbucks workers are on ULP strike across the country, community allies are standing in solidarity in all kinds of ways! Besides vowing to not buy Starbucks ANYWHERE, members of DSA Labor are running strike kitchens to feed baristas while they hold the picket line.

When you call for the full release of the unredacted Epstein files, please remember the survivors want their personally identifiable information redacted.

Not enough is being said about this. This may start a trend of many PBS affiliates disaffiliating from national, and then all of those markets could lose access to programming. I am concerned that my kids aren’t going to have access to the educational programs they love.
In a historic first, Arkansas PBS plans to disaffiliate from National PBS.

Tomorrow, Arkansas PBS - the state’s only PBS network - becomes Arkansas TV.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

About to modpodge and paint these to exorcise them of their former branding. I’ll take suggestions! What should they be as their 2.0 version?

Not enough folks know that the Foo Fighters are massive AIDS denialists and ran fundraisers for proto-RFKJ types that refused to treat children with HIV.

FWIW: Courtney Love and Pearl Jam have both worked extensively with responsible AIDS orgs. #noalternativescience
World AIDS day is important to me as I have lost people to it and I know people living with HIV.

It is a disease I wouldn't wish on anyone, but hell with the power of medical science, people can now live normal lives thanks to medication.

Also fuck Dave Grohl. Man was only good in Nirvana.

This World AIDS Day we are grateful for the heroic folks at Takalani Sesame and @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social for helping children remember parents and siblings lost to AIDS.

This is the humanities at its best.

Truly changed my life when I started living this way.
gotta say, if things don't work out the "regular" way then let yourself do it the ADHD way. it may take longer and be more chaotic, but at the end of the day at least some things got done

I simply cannot with this.
The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.
Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

Assembling a gluten free pie is like assembling a pie on a crust of tissue paper, but this apple streusel and pumpkin duo is now in the oven (after sprinkling streusel all over my oven door, thorough cleaning after today.)

Holiday reminders:

- If someone has a new relationship, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone is pregnant and they want to share that, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone’s body has changed, they’re aware. You don’t need to point it out.
