People are giving Bill Barr guff about declaring New York City an #AnarchistJurisdiction. Well, this Brooklyn resident is here to tell you it's a nightmare out there! I documented the horrors I found within just one block of my apartment. READER DISCRETION ADVISED [1/11]
I encountered this unsettling scene right on my own doorstep. Where is the baby? Don't bother asking Di Blasio, who banned the cops from investigating baby snatching. #AnarchistJurisdiction [2/11]
Nobody has bought this building. You know why? I bet it's BLM's fault somehow. #AnarchistJurisdiction [3/11]
THREE BIKES LOCKED TO THE SAME SIGNPOST? That's an anarchy for sure. #AnarchistJurisdiction [4/11]
Wasn't one plastic bag hanging from a fence enough for you leftist bastards? Terrifying. #AnarchistJurisdiction [5/11]
An antifa rendition squad kidnapped everyone at this slice joint. Why hasn't Joe Biden condemned them? I think we all know... #AnarchistJurisdiction [7/11]
I guess these agitators want the entire city to burn down. I mean, just look at this. #AnarchistJurisdiction [8/11]
Check out the sorry condition of this trashcan. (It's metaphor for New York City.) #AnarchistJurisdiction [9/11]
Here is a training facility for the antifa child army right across the street from my home. You know who doesn't give a shit about law and order? Toddlers. That's what makes them the perfect killing machines. #AnarchistJurisdiction [10/11]
Look, reporting these appalling scenes gives me no pleasure. But look how New York City residents like me are being besieged by the far left in our #AnarchistJurisdiction. I weep for the future. [11/11]
A week ago, I lost the best job I ever had. HuffPost was my professional home for 9 years and I truly loved it. A wonderful workplace filled with creative, hardworking, supportive people. I don't have a say about the future of HuffPost but I will indulge in some reminiscence.
HuffPost inspired me to do the best work of my career. I'm proud of the journalism we did together. My past editors, @petersgoodman, @EmilyRPeck (a fellow layoff victim), and @samstein, helped me find a voice I didn't know I had and pushed me to be more creative. Thank you.
My last editor at HuffPost was the inimitable @kate_sheppard. Among other things, Kate has the rare gift of understanding different people need to be managed differently. She got me. Kate is smart and kind and cares about her journalists and the people we wrote about.
I could not bring myself to take Trump's health care speech today seriously, and neither should anybody. bit.ly/2S9WIMl
That was so much garbage in that speech I couldn't get to all of it. There are also some really wonky things his administration has done - like for kidney disease patients - that are totally fine and okay, but they don't rise to the level of "health care reform."
First, there's this thing Trump said about sending $200 bribes to every Medicare enrollee right before the election. Read this for more (spoiler: it's brazenly a bribe, it's not paid for with real money, and it might be illegal). bit.ly/306wEpu
You might think confronting mortality just comes with the territory for health care workers. But these are human beings like the rest of us. All this suffering takes a toll. bit.ly/2FEVQN6
Talking to health care workers this year, I've been struck by how every one of them said they were more worried about passing the virus to others than they were about their own lives. bit.ly/2FEVQN6
It's shameful that, six months into this pandemic in the U.S., doctors, nurses, and other health care workers still don't have adequate safety equipment. They're still reusing masks. bit.ly/2FEVQN6
My employer says all the right things about the importance of a diverse newsroom. Those words, however, aren't backed up with nearly enough action. Here's what @HuffPostUnion calls on @HuffPost and @verizonmedia to do: bit.ly/32uqq4E
