A friend posted on Facebook tonight that she has decided to enter hospice. She has been through quite a lengthy, difficult battle with illness, and she knows it is her time to go. How brave she is. In a world of ordinary mortals, she is a Wonder Woman. May her passing be soft attended by angels.

I just learned that a very dear friend and fellow author, Bill Hatfield, passed away at the end of July. I was unaware that he was ill. He had a great sense of humor and an overall vibrant personality. He will truly be missed.

I'm sickened by comments under IG videos recounting events on 9/11/01 where people are mentioning Zohran Mamdani, spewing their vile Islamophobia. He was NINE YEARS OLD. All he does is do things to improve NYC. He doesn't deserve this. Fucking bigoted assholes.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Compassion is the heart of all who call themselves human. It is the inhuman that embraces the inflicting of pain. Make compassionate acts part of your every day. I believe in your ability to do that.
