After reporting and writing this story, i will never look at the people who live on the streets and in the subway in the same way. Thank you to all the New Yorkers who helped me make this portrait.
Before he was killed by a fellow subway passenger, Jordan Neely was one of the thousands of New Yorkers living on the city’s margins.

When Maggie started getting thinner, people would approach her parents, commenting on how pretty she’d become. “She’s always been pretty,” her father, Brett, would respond, and the people would backpedal and agree.

When I ask Abedin about how much she and her close friend and confidante Hillary Clinton ever talked about the analogies in their personal stories, Abedin responds, “Zero.”
Bob Gottlieb took a chance on me in 1987 based on a letter I wrote him out of the blue. I was too young and inexperienced for him to notice me much after that, but he opened the door.

I honestly never tweet but this heroizing of mothers and motherhood while taking away our reproductive rights and letting our children suffer from gun violence and inadequate health care or day care or nourishing food or reasonable free education makes me want to call bullsh***
For Halloween, Christian, 12, dressed up as Tate, even shaving his head, “and I went to the most fun party of my life.” His mother, who hadn’t really dialed into Tate, helped him with the costume, but she wouldn’t let him have a cigar.

I think it's about female power in a gross male world. Shiv gets closer to what she needs with this move -- she can continue to be the power behind Tom (she's smart; he's stupid) and she can keep the "bloodlines" (her heir) next to the throne. Tom needs her; Ken doesn't.
Weiner was — and still is — a good partner, she says. Throughout their marriage, “he made my life so much easier. He did everything. He did our shopping. He cleaned our house. He made sure the laundry was done.”

was excellent. Compassionate. Thorough. And I really admired the honesty and courage of the family who shared their experience. I cried all the way through.

Parents of mass shooters have increasingly been scrutinized. And since the attack by a 21-year-old that killed seven people at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, there’s been a growing discussion about the role of parents in enabling mass shootings
During Maggie’s first summer, the camp director — a nurse with ideas about the weight-loss properties of mushrooms and onions — informed parents that raisins & sunflower seeds had been removed from the salad bar bc kids were snacking on them excessively.
And, most poignantly, there’s Hillary following the election returns at the Peninsula hotel on November 8, 2016, when, just after 10:50 p.m., she says out loud, “Can someone explain to me what is happening?”

As my only child goes off to college -- along with the state of everything else in the world -- this seems like very important advice. For her and for me.

The parents’ trial is scheduled to begin on October 24. During it, McDonald will say all the evidence adds up to a picture of parents so inattentive and irresponsible that they failed to heed Ethan’s warning signs and instead gave him a gun
Parents would make pleas on behalf of their children: If you can take one sister, take this one because she is smart. If you can take two, take this one as well because she is brave.
"Could a criminal case succeed in preventing future shootings in a way that these civil cases have not? The father of the Highland Park shooter, from July 2022, sponsored his son for a gun permit despite a suicide attempt and homicidal threats. "
@lisaxmiller
McDonald, the local prosecutor, declared she would prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Jennifer and James Crumbley had grossly neglected their parental duty by not averting the obvious danger their son presented
But the last group departed without them, and there were no more flights out. “I hope you can forgive me,” he wrote in one message. Later, when he reread his texts, he thought to himself, “I’m so stupid.”
"Occasionally, a prosecutor will use “gross negligence” to support a homicide charge, as when a doctor prescribes a drug to which they know a patient is allergic, or a driver texts and speeds, or a parent leaves a baby locked in a hot parked car."
"Over the subsequent months, nine civil lawsuits would be filed against the school. (The Oxford Community School District did not respond to requests for comment for this article.)"
