Shout out to Brian Williams, who just refused to name former POTUS, instead describing him as a “twice-impeached private citizen.”- One thing I love about New York right now? How people pull up their masks as they approach strangers on the street. It’s a sign of respect, community and common sense. Just call us the heartland.
- This is remarkable
- A poll worker just yelled out, “first time voter!” and everybody in the Brooklyn polling site cheered
- This one feels right today: "In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
- That’s the darkest Barack Obama we’ve ever seen. The message was clear: vote now or let democracy die.
- Merry Christmas to Robert, this MTA contractor, who I caught meticulously scrubbing every inch of this 1 train when no one was looking.
- This is both anecdotal and early, but many long covid survivors are feeling significantly better after receiving their first vaccine dose. Including me. Fascinating.
- All jokes aside: an entire generation of New Yorkers has been completely priced out of buying homes in their own communities. I think we help people most in need first (homeless, the working poor). But the inability of middle class to put down roots in nyc is a real problem.
- To recap, Tyler Perry provided security after the Royal family no longer would.
- One thing is clear, if Democrats don’t learn how to talk about race, Republicans will do it for them.
- A New York police union came after the mayor’s daughter. Think about that.NYPD sergeants' union tweets and deletes Chiara de Blasio's arrest report trib.al/FmZrvJZ
- One thing that amazes is the distance between the daily suffering of those who’ve lost someone to this virus, or like me are in the battle of their lives to recover from it, and those for whom missing one Thanksgiving dinner is too big a sacrifice to make. They have no idea.
