"I think for far too long we've tried not to lose, as opposed to figuring out how to win."
-- Zohran Mamdani, speaking about the Democratic party and his bold proposals, in the October 20, 2025, issue of The New Yorker. My, I like him. He's the future. I want to see more politicians like him (and AOC, Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson, Maxwell Frost, etc.).

Learned yesterday that I"ll be heading to #NewYorkCity next Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. My work/hotel will have me in Midtown Manhattan near Hudson Yards.
I realize it's probably a *very* tall order, but do y'all know of any cozy/quiet spots in the area? Always a fan of a good #speakeasy or similar.

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral.
Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.”
