The eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the guns went silent.

Millions died or were displaced only to have it happen again a generation later.

We can break car culture in this city—look at this breakdown of the Mayor’s race. There are more of us (people using public transit as their main method of getting around) than them (car folks):

Hey New York, today is “Golden Day,” the last day of voter registration AND the 1st day of Early Voting, so if anyone you know who is eligible to vote in this state, but not registered, TODAY IS THE DAY for them to go to their poll site & VOTE!

Repeat Rec Park visit, nice! When I was there recently, I also took this (Bingo doesn’t like definitive articles, I guess—or punctuation):

Thanks, @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co for the in-person town hall & taking Qs from the audience. Please take our requests to do more, especially protecting civil/human rights & to continue to help those directly affected by DOGE’s assault on our gov’t as your task in this moment. Plus, more town halls!

Lesson learned from the movies—The Hulk is what happens when middle-aged white guys would rather destroy the world than go to therapy. #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld
