Briefly back in New York, where I lived for 20 years. Yearning for an afternoon at @othermusic or the ground floor at Kim's Video, where you could listen to music and chat w. staff about what's undiscovered, transcendent. Any suggestions for NYC spots where one can still do that?

This is just the beginning. People all over the country are recognizing that we need a season of nonviolent civil disobedience & direct action, because that's how voting rights were won & that's the only way we're going to keep them & expand them.

$15 is the compromise. If minimum wage had kept pace w/ productivity growth, it’d be over $22. #RaiseTheWage #PoorPeoplesCampaign
If the minimum wage had increased at the same pace as productivity growth over the last 70 years, it would be over $22 an hour today. The U.S. can certainly afford a $15 minimum wage. Learn more about why we need to #RaiseTheWage: https://t.co/Oq7Eqn8oPa

Huge win for Oak Flat & religious freedom today. USDA has halted the transfer of Apache holy land to Resolution Copper. This gives time for federal court to protect their religious freedom & Congress to reverse the land transfer that would destroy Oak Flat. #PoorPeoplesCampaign

BREAKING: Last night, in a legally wrong and harmful decision, a court granted Texas' request to continue blocking the government's 100-day deportation pause. Voters rejected Trump's inhumane immigration policies, but the Texas government wants to force them on the country.
