Donald Trump is too old, too convicted, too indicted, too impeached, too much of a rapist, and too much of a psycho to run for president. The Republicans really should have a conversation amongst themselves to choose a new nominee.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of American Jews are holding a sit-in at Congress — and we won’t leave until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. As thousands of U.S. Jews protest outside, over 350 are inside, including two dozen rabbis, holding prayerful resistance.

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

So the parent who got my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb banned for elementary students @BGEC_Bobcats has ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST ORGS. Anyone surprised?@MiamiDadeCounty This is a shame for the children in your school system who deserve to have access to poetry.
This is the one parent who successfully got Amanda Gorman’s poem banned. Will the Miami-Dade school district reverse this decision now that it’s surfaced that parent as ties to a white supremacist organization? Or does the comfort of a white supremacist matter more?

I refuse to let my new granddaughter have to fight for the rights that generations have fought for & won, rights that she should be guaranteed. For anyone who needs access to care, our state will welcome you with open arms. Abortion will always be safe & accessible in New York.

I am gutted and just so mad right now. No shot, no scene and no movie is worth the loss of life. #RIPHalynaHutchins – at Los Angeles, CA

Convicted of felony murder. At 16. Without firing a shot. @JordanCarlos, @itsJasonFlom, and @AliceMarieFree discuss the state and consequence of the juvenile detention system during a special airing of 1275 Days, Monday at 10/9c.

The notion that weed is a problematic “drug” is rooted in racism. It’s insane that Team USA would disqualify one of this country’s most talented athletes over thinking that’s rooted in hatred. It’s something they should be ashamed of. Also if weed made you fast, I’d be FloJo.

As a CODA, or “child of deaf adults,” Googler Tony has always shared a unique bond with his parents. But when the pandemic forced a physical distance between them, they found new ways — and a new reason — to stay close. 🤟

The NYPD broke my ribs while I was trying record them brutalizing a teen.

“We’re losing the past along with the present & the future. We’re losing the very refuges we might have gone to for solace.” Honest hard working people are struggling.We need govt support or we’ll lose a treasured part of society #COVIDReliefNow #saverestaurants #NYC #restaurants
What's happening to restaurants in cities like New York is both an economic and an emotional catastrophe. We're losing even more than we know. My weekend column >>> nytimes.com/2020/12/19/opini…
