Thank you. To the Black and brown women organizers. To the Indigenous turn-out-the-voters. To the AAPI volunteers who translated a million talking points. To the inclusive digital strategists. To the voters who risked harassment and pandemic. To all who brought joy to the work.

Happy Dred Scott day for those who , uh, celebrate. A handy reminder that the Supreme Court isn’t always so supreme...
#OTD
in 1857, in its Dred Scott decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Black people were not American citizens and could not sue in courts of law. The Court ruled against Dred Scott, an enslaved Black man who tried to sue for his freedom.

This is a perfect example of a solution to a pressing issue that "most people" wouldn't think of. For public policy to work, we need lots of people at the table and everyone trained to identify barriers facing all sorts of constituents
NYC should expand night-time vaccination options during Ramadan.
There are currently very few sites with overnight hours (Javits and Yankee Stadium no longer offering). Let's move quick to expand this to accommodate NYC's large Muslim communities. Ramadan starts soon.

I'm writing my third story about anti-Asian hate crimes, specifically against elders. I pause writing to cry. Last year, when I wrote that "Kung Flu" is racist, people said: "It's not real racism." A year later, I am mad. Words have power, and I'm using every word I've got.

I want to distinguish between "atonement," "forgiveness," and "repentance," which are three different concepts in Judaism. The critical one, in my view, is repentance, where the real work is on the person who has done harm.
