Like @mychal3ts.bsky.social writes, “The library is always here for you." That's why we're committed to being here for our libraries.
This year, we're adding $31.7 million in permanent, baseline funding to our city's three library systems so they can better serve New Yorkers.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.
As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Obviously this sucks for the whole country but I can’t help thinking about how much it sucks for DC. Destroying federal jobs, targeting the Kennedy Center, filling the city with racists. He’ll probably do an EO stating that at Eastern Motors your job is no longer your credit
