Join Me for Truth Tuesday, Abortion-Rights Edition
I’m part of a group of activists holding a weekly Truth Tuesdays protest at the Fox News building in New York City, in order to push back against Fox’s constant lies. We’re there every Tuesday at 9 a.m. and tomorrow we’re focusing on abortion rights, due to the oppressive Texas legislation and Fox’s Tucker Carlson…
Remembering George Floyd, Part 1
Today, May 25, marks a year since George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis by then-cop Derek Chauvin — a death that triggered one of the largest protest movements in U.S. history under the rallying cry of “Black Lives Matter.” Memorial marches, rallies, and vigils are planned in many locations. If you’re in New York City,…
Nuclear Weapons: Always Immoral, Now Illegal
Today, the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force. This was the result of years of work by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), a coalition of non-governmental organizations in 100 countries promoting adherence to and implementation of the United Nations nuclear weapon ban treaty. ICAN was launched in…
Biden/Harris Inauguration: Relief and Hope
I haven’t been able to shake a feeling of exhaustion in who knows how long. I’ve had insomnia all my life, but I used to get up at 5 a.m. and go to the gym and then my corporate job, so I know the lack of sleep wasn’t always debilitating. I figured that, with age,…

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was a typically shitty austerity-pushing Republican when he served as governor of California — which makes his passionate call for Trump’s removal all the more striking. My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/blOy35LWJ5 — Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) January 10, 2021 If…
Impeach Trump Now
I don’t want the domestic terrorism that took place in Washington, D.C., today to sap all the joy out of the yesterday’s huge achievement: Georgia’s election of two Democratic senators, Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Warnock is the first Black person to win a Senate seat in Georgia; Ossoff is the first Jew. Their…
Republicans Ran From Rat Into NJ Drama
In my last post — two weeks ago already, dang! — I wrote about how activists forced an unsafe-for-COVID New York Young Republican Club event out of Manhattan. The club managed to relocate to the Maritime Parc restaurant in Jersey City, but had to keep the venue secret until the last possible minute so it…
Throwback Thursday: OMG, It’s Anya Phillips
In November 2010, I tumbled down many Internet rabbit holes while writing a post about 1970s New York style icon/fashion designer/Mudd Club co-founder/Debbie Harry friend Anya Phillips. It was so difficult to find any information about her. READ MY ANYA PHILLIPS POST. So tonight I almost lost my mind when I saw the New York…
Tomorrow Is Election Day
Tomorrow — Tuesday, November 3 — is your last day to vote if you haven’t already voted early, or by mail-in or absentee ballot. If you’ve already voted, make sure you speak to/call/email/text three other people to make sure they have voted too. If you haven’t voted yet, make sure you know where to go…
