For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

I'm surprised Michelle didnt go off on her because of the safety pins. I like her & I liked the look. But she overdid it.

I wrote a thread earlier this week about the engineered neglect that millions are living under while this administration funnels a billion dollars a day into a war of aggression.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi's shattering DRIVE MY CAR, about a director working through grief by staging UNCLE VANYA, has its own plot and specific preoccupations, but it is so saturated in Chekhov's themes and feelings that it almost qualifies as an adaptation of VANYA. Needless to say, I loved it.
we had this one and the basketball one. I LOVED them.
