As always I remain grateful for the brilliance, grace and commitment to humanity of the great congresswoman @repilhan.bsky.social representing the great state of Minnesota. I am disgusted by the racist, harmful and inhumane actions and words by the president #Simple&Plain

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

@darrickhamilton.bsky.social said it best: Wealth is economic power. Wealth provides economic agency.

Through his work as an economist and founding director of @racepowerpolicy.org, Darrick is guided by the truth that all human beings are entitled to basic economic rights.

9 months into this administration & we are accelerating towards the negative trifecta of stagflation —simultaneous sluggish growth, high unemployment & rising inflation. Accompanied with trending authoritarianism & pubic assaults on personhoods grounded racisms, sexism and nativism. #ReverseCourse
