Trump Tells the Postal Service to Create a Voter List wsj.com/opinion/donald…

My father did not just give speeches. He offered a framework for how to live, how to lead, and how to confront injustice without losing our humanity. “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” was not simply a moment of reflection. It was a call to remain steadfast in the work, to organize, to build, and to act with courage and discipline. If we are serious about honoring his legacy, we cannot stop at quoting him. We must study him. I encourage you to spend time with his writings, his speeches, and his teachings, and to apply them in your daily life.

Protecting our elections isn’t partisan. It’s foundational to our democracy.    Every eligible voter should be able to vote, and every state and local elections official should be able to administer elections without fear of federal overreach or threats of prosecution.

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing. When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you. When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed. —Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

New York's Cannabis Control Board approved 27 new adult-use marijuana licenses yesterday, bringing the total number of licensed cannabis businesses to over 2,200. Officials also put forth new regulations for cannabis showcase events. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/04/new-yo…

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

Markets closing at the end of the day is a legacy design choice. Tokenization opens the door to a system that looks more like the internet itself.

Amazing Art Work. Back to the Future was 💯 filmed in California.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his last speech at Historic Mason Temple. He uttered the prophetic "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech on the eve of his assassination. Take a moment to watch, listen to and remember this giant of a man. ❤️💚🖤

Fueled by his fear of losing the upcoming midterm elections and based wholly on unfounded allegations of voter fraud, President Trump is attempting to unilaterally limit mail voting and threaten elections officials with criminal prosecution.   This is just another unlawful attempt to restrict voting.   We’re suing. oag.ca.gov/news/press-rel…

Good Friday reminds us that even in our darkest moments, hope is not lost. The story does not end on Friday. Easter is coming.
