"Conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." - Lincoln. A radical conception, with so many contradictions, worth fighting for then. A radical conception, with so many contradictions, worth fighting for now. Happy July 4th.

Natasha Cloud knows what it means to be a New Yorker. @T_Cloud4.
After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality. (🎥: @busyxb)

What we need right now in this urgent moment for our democracy is to stand up for our immigrant neighbors. To stand up for the love and unity represented by that statue in the harbor. 🗽. That’s what it means to be a New Yorker this 4th of July.

ICE agents now snatching migrants with open court cases; NYC officials, lawyers say it's 'utterly unlawful'.

A concentration camp, but with alligators. Don't look away. The Big Ugly Bill is hideous & we must use it to defeat the MAGA GOP next year. But what he's doing to asylum-seekers & immigrants is where we are becoming an authoritarian regime.

And don’t even start with me on the part where Trump praised his vassal Eric Adams while uttering these vile threats. If he had even a shred of decency left, @NYCMayor would denounce Trump’s authoritarian threats.
"Adams is a very good person. I helped him out a little bit. He had a problem, and he was unfairly hurt over this question," Trump says, calling it a Biden indictment.

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me. Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp that he’s building in a Florida swamp – for thousands of our immigrant neighbors being disappeared from our courts & communities w/o due process. It’s.
My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Getting to know @ruwaromman was one of the joys of this week!. And credit where it’s due: I adopted “fighters vs. folders” from @GregCasar. Let’s get out there and fight for a city (and country) that everyone can afford, and where everyone belongs.
A lot of people keep talking about a left vs moderate rift in the party, but it’s clear the rift is between who stands up for all versus who throws any of us under the bus for gain. @bradlander said it perfectly, it’s the fighters vs. the folders.

Took me a few days to get back out for a run in @prospect_park. Muscles a little stiff, but soul restored as usual. Sappy as it is, somehow every time I still feel verklempt w/gratitude for Olmsted & Vaux & @NYCParks & the Alliance & the fact that we can do things like this. 🤷🏻♂️
