@karenhunter.bsky.social listening. Yes, the proselytizing is very “off-putting”; it’s all about building a Beloved Community. Thank you, Karen! I love your show. Always learning. Doing. Resisting.

An issue I don’t believe has been addressed regarding the deep cuts to SNAP, is how many grocery stores in low income areas will go out of business. Mom and pop, family owned markets. For many, almost all of their customers are on food assistance. The Krogers will just close their doors and move on.

There have always been politicians who are working for someone other than their constituents. But the GOP today is an entire party dedicated toward enriching itself by serving dark money donors and shadow puppet masters. We’re at a boiling point of quockerwodgers.

I am hyped for New York City! Lived there. Raised there. #TheyNotLikeUs you see us. NYC deserves something different and better. You are that! Keep your ear to the ground. Do not become like the opps.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
