Having a Jewish New Yorker stand up for & alongside with Zohran (not to mention immigrants in NYC) has been so inspiring.

05.11.2025 03:34 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0They say all politics is local and from my own experience much of what actually impacts your life is local issues! Rebeca is well versed in the issues with a strong base ready to go!
Invest in KC, and invest in yourself by investing in Rebeca today!
Let’s celebrate by supporting our own progressive candidate here in KC! Donate to @rah.bsky.social ‘s campaign tonight!
I put $20 in because I believe Rebeca will make a better KC that’s more affordable and cares for all its residents.
Zohran Mamdani will become New York City's next mayor. This map shows the most precise data available on how New Yorkers voted.

17.10.2025 13:11 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0BlueSky is generally enjoyable, but the lack of Kansas City critical user mass has really taken away from what I like about social media. I don’t want my social media to primarily be a feed of national dialogue! I want to discuss/complain about local things online.

06.10.2025 15:09 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0So much of what Zohran’s campaign is doing comes down to behind the scenes hires and being willing to not follow normal rules of campaigning.
Looking forward to the eventual post-victory pieces where they go more into depth regarding campaign decisions!
My primary care doctor has a page on the office’s official website dedicated to the virtues of ranked choice voting and reminding you of the next election.

Our chair @tah.bsky.social is presenting at the KCATA Regional Mobility Summit this morning!
The topic -- results from our poll on transit funding. Learn more: kcrta.org/2025/10/02/k...
Image from KCRTA. The text reads: "We believe that public transit funding is a REGIONAL problem. So we decided to hire the top transit pollster in the country to ask real voters in Jackson, Johnson, Clay, and Wyandotte Counties if they would vote to approve a sales tax that would fund a regional bus system. Here is what a majority of voters told us..."
🚨ADVOCACY ALERT!🚨 KCRTA polling shows majority voter support for transit funding across the Kansas City region! 🧵 1 of 4:

Hey folks, my wife is suing the government to prevent the unconstitutional gerrymander maps from going into place in Missouri.

29.08.2025 22:18 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0In Kansas City, MO last night, well over 500 people gathered at IBEW Local 124 for an anti-gerrymandering rally. This is the largest union hall in hundreds of miles and it was standing room only.
The only time this union hall has been more full in recent history was the anti-RTW-for-less fight.
And this is all with Johnson County, which just recently started being a "liberal" county and accounts for about 1/3rd of Kansas' GDP, banning public employees from unionizing. The state is also right-to-work-for-less!
