Improving maternal health outcomes has been a top priority of our women-majority @NYCCouncil. This weekend, my office brought birth and postpartum professionals together to discuss how to best support birthing people and take action to address inequities in maternal health.

Right wing pundits are attacking this. Fun fact: soldiers have been dancing before battle since before writing existed. This is 100% normal, and I'd even encourage it.

Call me a radical lefty, but I think it should be easier to get a life-saving abortion than a deadly assault rifle.

What Elon Musk’s Twitter files have revealed so far is that content moderation at Twitter WAS being decided by a team of people with differing viewpoints. Now it’s being decided by the richest man on Earth with an axe to grind against one political party — a true scandal.

As it turns out Sam Bankman-Fried was the fourth biggest donor to the Republican Party.
BREAKING🚨: SBF used a loophole in the Citizens United rule to donate $37M of "dark money" to Republicans "I donated about the same amount of money to both parties this year ... I just didn't disclose the Republican ones bc the media would freak the f*** out"

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

Yes, it's vaguely creepy but it might also be brilliant...
This man has combined his impressionist skills with deepfake video editing and its way past creepy.

Many states don’t allow mail-in ballots to be counted before Election Day. But many races can’t be called until mail-ins are counted, which can take over 24h. This is normal, but some GOP are laying ground to claim any race not called tonight is suspicious. Don’t fall for it.
