News broke last night that NYC will pay the largest settlement for mass arrest class actions in US history.
1,350+ plaintiffs will be eligible for over $13M in compensation for the NYPD’s violations of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights to free speech and assembly.

@elizaorlins There's a great book called "The Mother Court" about the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The author reminisces fondly about how people used to come and watch trials about the biggest issues of the day. Made me think of that.
It’s really hard to see so many people’s takes on Oppenheimer as “ a tortured white guy”. He’s a complicated figure no question. He was also a Jewish man working at the height of the Holocaust. A time when other Jewish men of his heritage were being genocided for their “race”
Every time I get on a plane, I feel absolutely sick to my stomach — terrified that the person sitting next to me will take a picture of me and I’ll end up being mocked on the internet.
Put your anger on the airlines for making seats smaller & smaller.
We're asking for a public comment period w/a fully #accessible public comment hearing on all new #voting machines so the public can have a say in these important decisions. Please send an email to the NYS Board of Elections. It takes 2 minutes

#NY is deciding what #VotingMachines we will vote on for the next decade or more. NY has voted w/pen & paper ballots + ballot markers for over 10 years. That system is good. Less expensive & more secure. #ExpressVoteXL will eliminate pen & paper #voting, so it's not good for NY.
@NYSA_Majority @CarlHeastie, @NYSenate passed the #VIVANY to protect New Yorkers right to vote w/ hand marked paper ballots -just as we have been doing for 10 years! The NYS Assembly must pass this legislation.
📣 New Yorkers: Dial #250 & say VIVA NEW YORK to pass the bill today!
