On Monday, Bramble the Barred Owl returned to the Central Park Ramble after spending several weeks somewhere outside the park. Bramble became a star in September by hunting well before sunset and giving amazing views, and did so again yesterday. 🦉 🧡
They did their part. Now it’s time to do yours.
Daddy and Julian Bond understood that the right to vote was worth fighting for. We honor their work by exercising that right and protecting it for others.
Today is National Black Man Voter Day. Check your voting location and hours. Vote early where available, and bring someone with you. If you’ve already voted, help someone else get to the polls.
Our families, our communities and our future deserve your participation.

We’re moving 10,000 low-income children off the child care voucher waitlist — at absolutely no cost to their families.
Eligible families with children ages 6 weeks to 13 years, and through age 19 for children with special needs, will be invited to apply for a voucher on a rolling basis.
Once approved, finding care is as simple as visiting https://t.co/iRs25GSSOm to locate licensed child care providers that accept vouchers.
No New Yorker will be left behind in the fight for universal child care.
I captured Central Park's Barred Owl hunting in the Ramble last week. In this shot it was blinking (definitely not sleeping). While this image is dark, it was considerably harder to see with the naked eye! #Owl#CentralPark#birdcpp
Excited to have a young Barred Owl considering making Central Park its home! It's been exploring the park over the last few days and seems to like what it sees! ❤️🦉❤️ #Owls#CentralPark#birdcpp

Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence".
A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings.
Heartbreaking.
Today is an important day – a day of strong people, and at the same time, a deeply tragic one. Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, people were attacked. A terrible attack, a tragedy in the United States. Nearly 3,000 people from 90 countries around the world were killed, including Ukrainians. We honor all the heroes who did everything they could that day to save the lives of others – police officers and firefighters, and simply caring people, including those of Ukrainian descent. We express our respect, admiration, and condolences.
At that time, NATO showed its strength. And it is very important that there was a response to terrorism and that Article 5 was invoked. This shows that if people want to preserve their civilization and their choice to defend their rights, freedoms, and values, there must be a response to any enemy or terrorist. Because evil must be punished.
On 9/11, Canada welcomed 33,000+ stranded passengers from around the world. For days, communities provided food, shelter and comfort. Their kindness inspired the Broadway musical Come From Away, which I saw and loved. We will never forget our neighbors to the north. 🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️
