The last time my father visited here was in 1963 with a contingent of black cops acting as marshals for the March on Washington and Dr. King’s famous speech.

Bad political news for @NYCMayor : "In all five of the city’s boroughs, likely voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Adams’s job performance. Even in his strongest demographic, black voters, Adams’s approval rating is net negative."

"As the death toll mounted, the briefings became less about providing critical health information and more a forum for Trump to air grievances, shift blame, stoke feuds, spread misinformation and inspire false hope."

This is a really disturbing display from the podium, one in keeping with the president's view of and statements about the press for three years, but taking place during a pandemic. He talks about how poorly he feels he's treated.

“In many ways, it would be easier to let Mr. Trump leave office and attempt to consign the storming of the Capitol to the past. But, ultimately, there can be no republic if leaders foment a violent overthrow of the government if they lose an election."

So tired of @errollouis throwing softball questions @NYCMayor never bringing up that the governor had to step in because of how inept de Blasio was at removing homeless from NYC subways. @errollouis & @NY1 should finally start paying attention and stop the nauseating pandering

Inconvenient fact: The Monroe County DA could have chosen to charge him with a violent felony, which would have qualified the case for potential bail, and pushed to keep him behind bars. Sandra Doorley, the DA, is a co-chair of Mr. Zeldin’s campaign.

New York: NOT leading in hospitalizations or deaths (look at per 100,000 columns), despite our larger size and spread rate. Chart is a compelling argument for vax mandates, although ideologues (and journalists with weak skills) may not to realize it.

Not that I have a lot of free time, but I’m up to join/organize a statewide coalition of news organizations (especially editorial boards) to demand a fix before the 2020 elections. Maybe @nytimes wants to take the lead?

David Dinkins took the helm at a time when incredible economic, cultural and political storms nearly tore the city apart. In private, as in public, he inevitably gave full credit and lavish thanks to the many people who supported him along the way. Honored to have known him.

PERSPECTIVE: In 1969, over 100 Black students (some of them armed!) seized and held a building at Cornell University. It ended peacefully. One of the youngest occupiers, Zachary Carter, went on to become a respected judge, a U.S. Attorney, and NYC's Corporation Counsel.

@HelenRosenthal @NYCMayor @cunyasap @UnaSTClarke @PSC_CUNY @Vanessalgibson @JFREJNYC This is called “eating the seed corn.” Every dollar spent on these kids will come back to the city many times over in the form of better jobs, higher salaries and much more paid in payroll, sales and income taxes.
