!! A person just self-immolated outside Manhattan court, where Trump trial underway. Police slow to respond in part because of barricades around park
Should have posted a graphic warning, very scary, active scene. Did not hear him say anything before he dosed himself with a fluid. Cannot read from here what his colored cards say. He was responsive when he was removed but he is very, very badly burned. Body charred.

"I think keeping the election activity to a minimum in this environment makes sense," @NYCMayor says, appearing to support cancellation of NYS presidential primary. De Blasio is a Sanders supporter.
@NYCMayor .@BernieSanders' camp submitted letter to @NYSBOE saying he wishes to remain on NY ballot, despite dropping out. Restates that he wants to gather delegates to influence party platform: big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files/2… (h/t @HuffPostPol)
