Winning a local election would make Father El-Yateem the first Arab American councilman of his district. But will his campaign be able to overcome intense political division and islamophobia? Watch #BrooklynInshallah from @filistiafilms on 12/14 at 8/7c on @worldchannel

For years, lawmakers like @SenatorBiaggi and @NYSenatorRivera have promised universal health care in New York. So where is it? When might we see it? As @Estarkmiller finds out, the wait might be longer than we thought ... riverdalepress.com/stories/s…?

19/ This led to incorrect, delayed & highly confusing recommendations on masking, wearing high-quality respirators & improving ventilation.
With a variant as infectious as Omicron, you should up your mask game.
Wear an N95, KN95, or KF94 (buy here: projectn95.org).

The Interborough Express is a legacy project that’s going to reconnect communities of color in a profound way. I encourage @GovKathyHochul to go big - extend the line to include the rest of Queens and the Bronx.

Wow, what a great, fitting design! And this book is one of my absolute favorite novels ever. This makes me feel like re-reading it. :)

Today. A new cover for my first novel, which I published in 2007. In 2017, I published my second. Writing my third now. Grateful that I still get to read, research, write, rewrite, and hope.

So let’s look at what we know
Here’s a graphic from @FT by @jburnmurdoch that's adapted from @michaelmina_lab piece in @NEJM
Simply speaking, there are three periods of time you can be PCR (I label as A, B, and C)
Its an excellent graphic and critical to this whole story

For decades, Black writers and producers have had to tell stories that fit what white TV executives deemed “authentic,” @hannahgiorgis writes in @TheAtlantic’s October cover story. Could that finally be changing? on.theatln.tc/KXbavSE

Intriguing and informative look at the life and work of Keller. I didn't know that as an adult she was a passionate activist for socialism and some other causes.

With CDC decision, here's the Booster bottom line
For folks who got Moderna/Pfizer
Get the booster if you are:
older or
have chronic diseases or
have significant work exposure
For folks with J&J:
Get the booster. Period
And by the way..
Doesn't hugely matter which booster

"Marriage as the prevailing ideal is losing its grip. And the stigma of being unmarried is also losing its grip, as it should. Now government policy that rewards the married while punishing the single must also loosen up," Charles Blow writes. nyti.ms/3AVhNxO
