If you're a photographer and you care that people care about your photos *as* photos, as soon as you post ai, you degrade the validity of your own reputation, you create doubt in your body of work, and from then on every photo you post is also of degraded value.
For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

Iftar, Day 19
Steve-O has that mellow empathy energy of a skater in recovery. Rogan has that hater energy of a short roided-out jock, compensating and projecting.

Clayton Cubitt ô @claytoncubitt X.com I think there's a 90% he'll use a nuke of some sort somewhere just to be the first president since forever to do so. He's a toddler. If there's a "manly american" toy, he wants to use it. He's already used cruise missiles and dropped the MOAB. Red buttons are shiny. 2:17 PM • 12/30/17
Since he was stopped in his first term it's 100% now
there's no way these nutjobs aren't going to use a nuke before they're removed

I survived a school shooting when I was 14.
Today is the anniversary.
I wear this to remind me of the one that missed me.
And that every day is a gift I'm grateful for.
So sorry I missed it last year, was in Brooklyn highly entertained by everyone's posts
They're good, thanks for asking. And thanks for following along for so long! Those were definitely tough times. Glad the work wasn't forgotten
