Inwood NYC Dad, husband, writer, sometime-activist. I enjoy hiking, reading, art museums, video games & not living under fascism. Pro democracy, unions, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice and non-carceral means to public safety.
Nothing to see here, just the US president giving a pat on the back to the guy committing war crime after war crime & atrocity after atrocity. This is why candidates like @darializaforny.bsky.social & @bradlander.bsky.social are surging. No more US blank check for Israeli crimes against humanity!
I knocked doors for Darializa in Inwood & Washington Heights today to share the news about Mayor Mamdani’s endorsement of her. Uptown is ready to abolish ICE, take on Trump, and invest in “babies not bombs!”
Love this display at Buffalo Street Books in Ithaca. Protect Trans Kids! 🏳️⚧️
post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it):
Spent part of this beautiful Saturday afternoon canvassing for Darializa for Congress in Inwood. Lots of voters are excited for a candidate who wants to abolish ICE and invest in babies, not bombs! @darializaforny.bsky.social
Thank you for doing this! We and our Lady Dog love your videos, and love even more knowing that you are antifascist!
Our family was proud to join the NYSA picket line outside NYP Allen Pavilion this afternoon to demand safe staffing levels and a fair contract for nurses.

My dog Fire says hi. Her motto, in the words of Allen Ginsberg, is: “When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?”
There were 20 people out in Inwood for the noon canvassing shift for Zohran! Running through the tape!
Her name is Fire and she is wearing a dragon costume. She is Fire Dragon.
I was out for Zohran again today, this time outside the early voting poll site on Sherman Ave in Inwood. SO MANY people excited to vote for Zohran! He’s run such a positive, inspiring campaign, in contrast to Cuomo’s gutter racism & Islamophobia. I can’t wait for him to be mayor.
These two signs are a decent encapsulation of the No Kings march in NYC. 🚫👑
I canvassed for Zohran for mayor in Inwood today! Lots of positive responses and great experience overall. Thanks to our campaign leads and Team Zohran for making it so easy to plug in. I highly recommend it!
This is a dog appreciation post. My dog Fire is very cute and sweet and lovable. She is something of a local celebrity in my hood but I think everyone should get to appreciate her furriness.
This is so grim and horrific and I am so so sad for these families in Texas... and also I can't help but think about how many children are buried under the rubble in Gaza who will never be identified. Children are children! People are people! So much horror...
"Trump administration proposes ignoring the Constitution, thumbing their nose at a right that goes back to the Magna Carta" would be a more appropriate headline here @nytimes.com
I was there! It was awesome! You should come down and join us next time.
