This was so genius. Good to see someone bringing “wholesome” back to politics.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new.
They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational.
It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Will you be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine?
The answer may depend on your age, insurance coverage, health and finding a pharmacist who will provide the shot. The process has become muddled this year thanks to new federal guidance on who can get the shots. bit.ly/4gjRt73

Democracy is the solution. Period.
This is literally why those that hate it attack basic education and academia — they know the only true way Democracy fails is if the masses succumb to ignorance.
