This is a color photograph of brick duplex apartment buildings in Brooklyn, New York. The focal point is a painted mural of the Brooklyn Bridge. It is part of a series I call Urban Suburbia, which is centered around documenting the ways that urban dwellers soften their environment with flora and ornamentation.

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.
This is a photograph of a construction site in Brooklyn, New York. The main features are the orange traffic barriers and the dispirited American flag, hanging in a cloudy gray sky. It is part of a photo portfolio featuring flags.

So disturbing and sad. What's that quote about resorting to patriotism when politicians are desperate, or most manipulative?
Gates too?! I thought he knew better, if only a little. 😠
