Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
I am with Andrew the Apostate and I am a seminary professor. Convinced Jesus would give Andrew a High-Five. This is among my most favorite exchanges. I am fortunate to have stumbled upon it!
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Pope, nuns, priests, immigrants, Jesus, children, and Iranian Christians waving good-bye to Sean Hannity because he declared he is leaving the Roman Catholic Church because of its stance with Iran. On the other side of the bridge are Trump, Franklin Graham, and white evangelicals welcoming Sean.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”
A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

None of this is normal
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."
In the foreground is Lake Bonhinj, with two spans of the stone bridge crossing the lake. A family of ducks is swimming under the bridge. Large trees line the bridge and pedestrians can be seen walking across it. To the left is a church which was built in the 13th century. The tall baroque bell tower features a double onion shaped roof and two narrow openings on each of the four sides. Behind the church are the forested mountains of the Julian Alps. The sky is quite cloudy with patches of pale blue showing through.

Yasss. And I found out they had contracts with the federal government. Alas.
From the DOJ's attempts to access sensitive voter info to dismantling CISA and pardoning the people responsible for Jan. 6, the Trump administration's campaign to undermine elections is underway. But we can fight back. — @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social in @nytopinion.nytimes.com
For any journalists/podcasters. I am a social historian that can speak to the white evangelical culture wars/political motives race/gender/immigration. I am also a professor of spiritual formation at a seminary. Happy to help. #journalists
I’ve been watching a lot of BBC lately to see how they’re covering the Epstein Files and former Prince Andrew, and it’s stunning the number of historians they have on these news shows, I really think US media could take a few notes.
