I wouldnβt post it if it was junk. This is good reporting led by two Black journalists. What I like here is by hearing from solid sources it sets out a clear path to addressing the concerns and garnering the level of Black support Mamdani needs.

Over the last 20 years, looking at all vaccines administered domestically, there have been 9,933 actual vaccine injuries out of roughly 6.5 billion vaccines administered. Thatβs just 0.015 percent of all vaccines that result in injuries over 20 years. An estimate 4.2 million lives have been saved.

The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich
The rich donβt spend the money they have, and the poor donβt have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.
Closing our nation's wealth gap isnβt just the right thing to do. Itβs essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

NH has been overrun by a coalition of Evangelicals & libertarians: they've got Prager U in the public schools & *outlawed* local zoning requirements for churches.

"Strategic ambiguity"--that is the core tactic of protecting elites from accountability while they rip us off.
It's how Russian oligarchs have dodged sanctions for decades.
It's how the Trump family evaded ~$400m in federal taxes.
