Hello!
I’m happy to be here with so many of you from Threads.
I’m learning to live with grief after the unexpected death of my son David.
I share my observations through grief notes.
It would be my honor if you’d read what my daughter Kyra wrote about her little brother. 💕
It’s a two minute read.

In 1972, Shirley Chisholm declared her candidacy for POTUS, shattering barriers as the first woman & African American to seek the nomination of a major political party.
Her #CupOfJoe was 'Unbought and Unbossed’, something we could use more of.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

They expect their privileged access to political leadership to continue unabated. Mamdani’s alleigance is to regular NYC residents and not the monied elites.

To a mother who has lost a child, this isn’t the reassurance the Calm App thinks it is.

If the Democratic Party leaders cave to the tyrant, days after an epic win, they are admitting the leaders are in collusion with the plan.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Everyone deserves mental health support. Unraveling our stuff is hard and having someone skilled to help makes ALL the difference.
Psychotherapists don’t tell you what to do. We help unravel thoughts to help you see what you need to make on your own. 🫶🏼

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP
This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.
Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.
Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
![How it works:
1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked."
2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used.
3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4."
4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names.
Comment to volunteer: STEWARD
- [Your Street Name]
Comment to donate: DONOR -
[Item or $ pledge]
Need help? DM me the word BAG.
No shame.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l3k4ivyknlg4yv4as4b6anmt/bafkreifmoiimee4tkmql74qnbxhvqxf4u2s3hte6ojaxtb4gvsnkmhvsv4@jpeg)
