Thanks to @NYUMarron for hosting @J_Almazan_Arch and @DanGarodnick for a conversation on planning for spontaneous change & incremental growth — in Tokyo and right here in NYC through #CityofYes.

Another magical @MetOpera Opening Night in Times Square ✨’Fire Shut Up in My Bones’ composed by @T_Blanchard & libretto by @kasi_lemmons is still streaming live to Duffy Square. – at Manhattan, NY

10,000 flowers in Times Square, joining thousands of protesters. The red: the anger & blood of black lives lost through injustice; the white: hope that change will FINALLY come. Together the flowers represent the love that can help us to hear each other & heal each other.

Just learned that our courageous and spirited #NYE honoree, #MariaRessa, has been arrested for libel. Hard to imagine that this could happen just weeks after she was honored here on New Year’s Eve. #PressFreedom - more important than ever. – Tim Tompkins, Times Square Alliance

New Year's Eve in Times Square will officially be a celebration of journalism this year, honoring @pressfreedom. Especially fitting since the world's most famous crossroads @timessquarenyc was named for @nytimes more than a century ago.

For reference, Ad Code 10-136a.(1)(b) is quite clear in its definition of "aggressive solicitation."
Tim Tompkins retweeted
On Times Square, NYPD is just wrong on the law. Grabbing someone to solicit without their consent is illegal in NYC, and should be enforced.

The Trump presidency has been a boon for dystopian novels. Two producers hope it has the same effect on Broadway. nyti.ms/2jPQ7I6

In the justified outrage at the cruelty, prejudice & malice of the travel ban, let's not lose track of the fact that it's very, very stupid.

To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada

Not really. Criticism of the policies has been regularly made. But people without shame are dangerous and need watching. So it's relevant. xitter.cf/drewlivecrew/status/79…

Don't think people are really grasping how plausible it is that Trump could become president. It's a close election right now.
