The hardest thing about it all is you question the values you shared with people you thought you knew.

You question if you even knew them at all..
I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

We've grown old, and my children's childhood has been lost. By God, I cannot describe the difficult situation my children and I are living in. I hope that everyone who has an ounce of humanity will share my story and my children's story or support us.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

Most people have no clue the amount of power cops wield over elected municipal officials. They're a drain on our budgets, break the law, don't follow procurement requirements.

I really think if you wanted to make massive change in a city, start there and everything else will improve

Good morning, my friends 💙

Yesterday I told you that we reached 99% of our campaign…
and today we’re standing in front of just $200 — one final small step, and this entire journey finally comes to an end.

Who can help us close this chapter and celebrate?

Let’s finish it today. Together. 💙
