Dismantling racist, anti-Asian violence means standing up to white supremacy - the same ideology that asks us to empathize with those who commit racist violence rather than the families destroyed and communities targeted by it.

Congress passed the CASE Act as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. The law establishes a voluntary, streamlined adjudication process in the Copyright Office for copyright infringement matters involving claims that do not exceed $30,000. https://t.co/Z1O4S0Sc7T

After cops tackled & arrested me, & after I identified myself as a journalist, they refused to give me my phone, leaving it on the street.

Later that night another journalist found my phone. Turned out it was recording while cops pressed my head into the concrete & cursed at me

NY has a critical need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including gloves, gowns and masks — as well as ventilators.

If you have or can make any of these supplies, New York is buying. Please email [email protected].

Help us share this far and wide!

Anyone can get tested. Hospitals will not have to go through the DOH anymore.

I heard from an insider that they're opening a COVID-19 testing tent outside Elmhurst Hospital in Queens this afternoon or tomorrow. Stay safe, friends.

I'm into all these tools that allow for virtual gatherings, like this remote movie night. Send me more of these! https://t.co/LrVstM0crt

I’ve read a bunch of notes on coronavirus from clinicians sharing observed data as well as from attendees at the (quite bleak) UCSF panel on coronavirus. A few key takeaways:

1. If you’re exposed to COVID, you’re likely to see symptoms in about 2-9 days, with median of 5 days.

NEWS: NYS officials just told us that the restrictions on public gatherings DO apply to bars and restaurants. That means, by Friday 5pm
+ If you have a capacity of over 500, shut down
+ If you have capacity of less than 500, you’re capped at 50% occupancy

BREAKING: The Supreme Court is closing down to public today until further notice "out of concern for the health and safety of the public and Supreme Court employees," the court said.

It will remain open for official business.

Unclear what this means for args beginning 3/23.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The new rules are New York's most forceful move yet to try to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus and are expected to have a profound impact on the city's cultural institutions

We are taking new actions to reduce the density of people across the state.

Starting Friday at 5pm, gatherings with 500 people or more will not be permitted in NYS.

Additionally, for facilities with an occupancy of 500 or fewer, we are reducing the legal capacity by 50%.
