The law isn’t helping. New York’s voluntary intoxication loophole makes it nearly impossible for survivors to seek justice if they drank or used substances prior to an assault. Because of this loophole, Jane Doe’s assailants may never be held accountable under the law.

At some point those of us in the pro-democracy movement need to stop worrying about Donald Trump and Republicans attacking us over false claims of voter fraud. Instead we need to take steps to protect and expand voting rights and let Trump call us names.

On Sunday, parents across the five boroughs got a night to themselves while NY's Cutest enjoyed free activities with NYC Parks staff at select recreation centers. Free & accessible child care doesn’t just make our city more affordable — it gives parents time to rest, recharge, or enjoy a night out.

This past weekend, New York City launched its first Parents’ Night Out, a new initiative by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to give families four hours of free babysitting. It was a hit.

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

She's absolutely right. The new wave of influencers are going to be 60+. Here are 15 creators over 65 I love following. Because the best role models don't make us wish we were younger… They make us excited about what's ahead and what's possible. ✨

Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote. You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.
