Coming up on today's show:

• Anne Williams-Isom, New York City deputy mayor for health and human services, defends Mayor Adams' plan to hospitalize people experiencing mental illness in public, and explains in more detail how the administration plans for it to work.
  
  
• Christina Greer, associate professor of political science at Fordham University, host of the podcast FAQNYC, host of The Blackest Questions podcast on the Grio and the author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013), first reacts to the mayor's plan to involuntarily hospitalize mentally ill people, then talks about the latest national political news, including that President Biden is pushing for a change in the order of presidential primaries, starting with South Carolina instead of Iowa, which traditionally held the first Democratic caucus.
  
  
• The MTA announced fare and toll hikes coming next year to help balance its books, but it's still not enough. Stephen Nessen, transportation reporter for the WNYC newsroom, reports on the agency's budget troubles as it continues to figure out how to operate with far fewer riders than in pre-pandemic times.
  
  
• Josh Gosfield, award-winning designer and illustrator and Nation contributor, discusses how he helped The Nation create their second-ever jigsaw puzzle, “Solidarity Forever: Amazon Worker Jigsaw Puzzle.” The 500-piece puzzle is inspired by the Amazon Labor Union’s historic win in Staten Island, with 10% of sales going directly to support the ALU.
