If this is Berlin, I saw this rally today near Jannowitzbrücke and could not believe it was actually happening.

Multiple people shot at 36 street station by two people in #sunsetpark. All are currently being transported to the hospital #NewYork #Brooklyn

And 12-year-old won the most. (I lost the most)

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

My latest for NYT Science about a find in Turkey (which I wrote in Rome and am posting from Berlin). I have to say, these would-be looters showed real, ahem, commitment, building a two-story house on top of the Iron Age find and then cracking right through their own floor.

This is a bonkers level of fraud and grift. George Santos doesn't seem to actually exist. Is *anything* about him real? And he's certainly been enabled in this racket. He's an empty shell that someone poured a lot of money into. nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyr…

We did it! Thank you to every voter, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this victory possible. From universal composting to an immigrant workers’ bill of rights, we’ve done so much in this term to build an anti-racist feminist city. But we’re just getting started.
