I was thinking of my assumptions as a young person that “No war for oil” was an oversimplification. And here we are again. Although this administration is saying the quiet part out loud. Apparently oil still matters in geopolitics.

My teenage son listens to actual news podcasts from NPR. He doesn’t need an algorithm to get him hooked on real, informative, engaging stories.

Gee whiz. That sounds less like a sleep tracker and more like a sleep judge. I hope you find a more supportive and encouraging app.

I saw a couple of people in mobility devices too (wheelchairs or wheeled office chairs??). I was so happy to honk in support of these amazing folks and hopefully bring more attention to their signs.

Hearts may have been set on going to school here for years before all of the policies shifted. I think college choices are as much emotional as rational.

Grocery stores owned by the city. Something to help with rent/housing prices (sorry can’t be more specific here). And higher taxes on wealthy people in NYC. Also I think he wants to make public transit free (or very cheap). I’m from New England.

I am so perplexed by the purity test hangup. I think it is a way to further disenfranchise voters. And try to take away *their* discernment and voice. It’s gross!! Making a decision about a candidate’s fitness for office is a voter’s right and responsibility.

Thank you for helping us all learn!! My grandfather was a POW held by the actual Nazis for years. I won’t ever vote for anyone who supports Nazis enough to get a Nazi tattoo. If that means I am establishing a purity test to win my vote? I’m ok with that. As the voter, it’s my call. 🤷🏻♀️

The people trying to scare us about the high crime rates are actually the ones we should be scared of. And they are often engaged in illegal and/or criminal behavior while they spread these lies.

My son’s pediatrician is getting around this by claiming the patient lives with a high risk individual. They aren’t asking for any records/verification.
