Hello name doppelgΓ€nger @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social it is my understanding you’ve implied fellow helper Zorhan Mamdani is affiliated with some nefarious folks, if so- Is what you said founded in truth? Real question. Or is he scary because of his refreshing kindness, courage and authenticity?

Zohran Mamdani is standing up to the oligarchy and fighting to make one of America’s most expensive cities affordable for the working class.

If you’re a New York City voter, I urge you to rank him #1 on your ballot by next Tuesday.

Fake kindness I should say. As they are lying, and therefore not being kind

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

Are we really fucking doing this.

Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

We are BACK - in this picture I think Garcia is hopefully looking to the sky in anticipation of the company that this show is on bringing back their diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments that got taken away because a president made a mandate. Some mandates are dumb but DEI is smart forever.

This is from a monologue from a play I wrote years ago. I am so fortunate to know a courtyard of creatives I can call and say β€œhey, let’s use some of our righteous rage and make something really fast for women’s history month” and we did.
