It is morning, and again
I am the lucky person to be in it

I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

One tends to ignore most of Donald Trump's egregious actions. There are too many. But his recent amplifying of a racist meme about the Obamas is both beyond revolting and completely expected. He is, to quote Hunter S. Thompson about Nixon, "a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president."

It’s time to start blaming all Republicans not just Trump. Trump could not do anything without them.

#Trump gets into office... Ensuring loyalty to him, #Trump brings in everyone who's in the #EpsteinFiles to work for him in the our Government?

Do I see this about right?????

#Epstein

It's time for Americans to stop referring to Trump and his cabinet full of lawless thugs as an "administration" and identify them as what they truly are: A REGIME. Only then can the others remove their blinders. It is time to create a pre-midterm election action plan. Time is running out

Every week it's something new. Epstein, ICE, grift, destroy another American institution. It's fukkin exhausting and it doesn't seem like anyone, R or D is doing a damn thing about it. I think we're gonna have to save ourselves, no one is coming to help. I'll never give up the fight, we can do this!

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

“With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for ‘the positive affirmation of peace.’”

Sad to hear. I hope they find her mother alive.

Can’t make this shit up! The geniuses at the DOJ redacted Trump in the #Epstein files - but not fully.

If a groundhog gets a day to predict the future, New Yorkers deserve a city that plans for one.

Affordable housing, good transit, real public space — all year long.

“Light Melts Ice”, 24x24. Acrylic on canvas. Trying to express reactions to our current state of affairs. I want to be hopeful yet very aware of where we are. These are crude and I will probably continue on this after it dries. But it felt good to let anger and outrage flow.

I kicked off Black History Month in Corona at the home of Louis Armstrong, who lived in our city for more than 30 years. Walking through his house and hearing how much New York meant to him was a powerful reminder of what this city owes to Black artists and culture.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Another one of my earliest paintings. Rialto Bridge in Venice using acrylic on canvas board.
