“New York isn’t dead,” writes the editorial board. But to make it flourish again, the city needs someone who can take charge right away, with fervor and confidence.
That’s why we have decided to endorse Kathryn Garcia (@KGforNYC) for New York City mayor. nyti.ms/3fo3jOr

Black mothers know more than anyone should ever have to about the toll of gun violence. As killings by police and mass shootings continue to make headlines, it’s time we listen to them, writes @ArionneNettles. nyti.ms/3nYUj6e

Our mission is to invite and convene a wide range of voices and views; we believe Guest Essay reflects that mission well.
Low- and middle-income nations are facing an unconscionable shortage of coronavirus vaccines that threatens to upend progress against the pandemic. nyti.ms/32JCBJR
A global shortage of vaccines has been obscured by pockets of vaccine abundance in wealthier countries like the United States. But if the shortage isn’t addressed soon, the trouble will become all too clear. nyti.ms/32JCBJR

What can you do when adults are vaccinated and kids are not? nyti.ms/3guJB5z
For adults, Covid-19 has exacted a brutal toll, one large enough to warrant the shutdown of much of daily life. The disease has killed about 16 times more Americans than the flu would in a typical year. nyti.ms/3guJB5z

"While Minnesota is a great place to live for white people, for Black people, it’s just like everywhere else — and sometimes worse," writes scholar Samuel L. Myers Jr. nyti.ms/3dqUPpM
“My great-grandparents joined in the great migration to land in Minneapolis, and over the years we’ve all seen how our neighbors choose to ignore the suffering of those of us who don’t look like them,” writes @JustinNXT. nyti.ms/3mSvsAp
"Minnesota has had a rude awakening to the fact that it is not above the fray," writes David Lawrence Grant. nyti.ms/32m8LuW
