@repdangoldman.bsky.social I don’t care if you have to camp out in Congress for days or weeks- get your colleagues to camp out too. You must the right action - you must stand with & fight for these survivors.

Yes, knowing how to cultivate an inclusive community is so valuable! Where folks can come as they are and feel accepted and valued- especially if they β€œthink differently.”

Oh yeah I’ll try to remember that WE MUST STRIVE FOR UNITY as I stretch my retirement funds further to help my adult children pay for the ghastly increases in their ACA plans.
Just stop fucking insulting our intelligence as you throw us off the cliff.

Why, Congress member, do you bounce every problem back to us? Do you think we don’t know what’s going on with each new crisis? Many of us are donating what we can. WHAT will YOU do to HELP?

I was doing poll visibility & talking to voters in Bath Beach (other side of BK) and a young Chinese American couple danced their stroller (child in it lol) around after voting for Zohran and Kayla Santosuosso (city council) They told me! I love this city tonite too! πŸ₯°

Sarah Kendzior researched Garland whose mentor is Jamie Gorelick - who was Jared & Ivanka’s attorney. You can find that research in Sarah’s essay :(available on Substack): β€œServants of the Mafia State.”

French bakery in Bed-Stuy offers free breakfast to SNAP card holders Beginning Nov. 1, when SNAP benefits are expected to be suspended, Je T’aime Patisserie will offer free breakfast to anyone who presents their EBT card from 7:30-10 a.m.

This is dope. In the spirit of the BPP free breakfast program, but fancy.

β€œWar on Cars” (titles in quotes or even better, italicized) - otherwise it looks like war is being waged against Cars podcasters Sarah and Doug and I’m like β€œOh no! WHO would wage war on Sarah and Doug while they’re in conversation with Chris Hayes?” Had to re-read to calm down my heart. πŸ₯Ί

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.
