This man brought his goose to the “count every vote” protest. I love New York City.

People in Midtown Manhattan are cheering on the sidewalks, leaning out their windows and rushing to their rooftops to cheer and bang pots and pans, like they did in March during the 7 pm cheer. @JoeBiden has defeated @realDonaldTrump.
The divide between news broadcasts and opinion shows on Fox News may never have been as stark as it is tonight
Hannity just did a segment on how “the state of Arizona should never have been called by anybody.” (Fox News and AP called Arizona for Biden, other news organizations including NYT have not.)
Lindsey Graham echoes Trump on Hannity: “mainstream media polls were designed to suppress Republican votes.”
Graham says he is donating to Trump’s “legal defense fund” and he urges Hannity’s viewers to donate too.”
A crowd of what looks like several hundred protesters are marching on the Upper West Side, more than a. Hour after curfew. Police are following along. This is at 61st and West End Avenue.
This crowd is in the thousands of people, all marching south on 10th Avenue into Hell’s Kitchen more than an hour into curfew. Local residents are leaning out their apartment windows banging pots and pans in support of the marchers. #nycprotests
Almost every apartment on this block of 10th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen has residents sitting on their fire escapes or leaning out their windows to cheer for the protesters #nycprotests#curfew

Some young men just tried to loot an Aldo on 5th Ave when other protesters grabbed them, pulled one guy out the store window, and made them stop. An argument about looting then ensued. #NYCProtest#GeorgeFloyd
The Nike store on the corner of 20th Street and 5th Avenue was just looted by protesters. #NYCProtest#GeorgeFloyd
This reminds me of when the Coalition Provisional Authority enlisted a bunch of 20-something Americans and otherwise unqualified but politically connected people to rebuild Iraq after the 2003 US invasion washingtonpost.com/politics/kushn…
I once chatted with another 20-something American in the sauna at my gym in Cairo. He said he’d gone from selling “Yankees suck” shirts outside Fenway Park to a job promoting Iraqi civil society for the Coalition Provisional Authority. I will never forget it.
That guy from the sauna later went on to write a book about his experience going from Fenway Park t-shirt vendor to working for the American occupation authorities in Iraq. I haven’t thought about any of this in years. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/298105/b…
