Today’s the day. The new David Geffen Hall opens: 2 years early, 6000 jobs created, 42% contracts with MWBE firms, on budget. THANK YOU to the thousands of New Yorkers who came together to make this happen.

She comes to the institution after over a decade at the Public, and her eclecticism may challenge some of its traditions.

Interesting how centuries of race-based genocide, economic exploitation and cultural oppression aren’t called identity politics.

This isn’t news, Kellyanne. Our differences are exactly why I joined Biden’s Climate Unity Task Force - so we could set aside our differences & figure out an aggressive climate plan to address the planetary crisis at our feet. Trump doesn’t even believe climate change is real.

Unsolicited opinion from a black man: everything that's wrong with race in America is three white men starting a conversation "about race" and having it immediately degenerate into an argument about "law and order."
