Retired NYC teacher. NC Democrat. Anti-fascist. Angry old man.
A lot of people are out there yesterday repeating this false equivalence. Heard it on MSNBC, I think it was Nicolle Wallace show?, but there was pushback at least. The automatic impulse to bash Biden and both-sides is strong.

Did a cross country motorcycle tour last summer and I was astonished at the amount of wind farms along I-80 in Iowa and I-40 in Texas. Just miles and miles and miles of windmills. A beautiful sight to behold.

Maybe a good time to remind people that beef is bad for your health, bad for the planet, and bad for the cattle. Reduce or eliminate consumption.

Like where are the Democrats on Bluesky? Why do I have to go to NBC or any other news outlet to find out what they are up to? Even AOC hasn't posted in like a month. What gives?

NYFT. A fucking law and order cop mayor is currently in charge of NYC and yet this brazen crime is evidence that we need a law and order cop-friendly mayor who will protect us from these brazen crimes. #NYRepliesDisabledTimes

Wow, didn't even realize he exhumed David Paterson for an endorsement.
![After Spitzer resigned in the wake of a prostitution scandal, Paterson was sworn in as governor of New York state on March 17, 2008. Paterson held the office of governor during the Great Recession, and he implemented state budget cuts. He also made two significant appointments: In January 2009, he appointed then-U.S. representative Kirsten Gillibrand to a vacant U.S. Senate seat (a position she has held since), and, in July 2009, he appointed Richard Ravitch as lieutenant governor. Paterson launched a campaign for a full term as governor in the 2010 New York gubernatorial election, but he announced on February 26, 2010, that he would bow out of the race. During the final year of his administration, Paterson faced allegations of soliciting improper gifts and making false statements; he was eventually fined in excess of $62,000 for accepting free New York Yankees tickets. He was not charged with perjury.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ycetuxpttztgtvwupsbgzccu/bafkreido6w3snfwcfud6r7w2lq7npo25w66hk5htwunuty4kxffqzijkte@jpeg)

This is some story about a church in my old neighborhood that supported a diverse community and progressive causes in Washington Heights (NYC) selling out and abandoning their community for money. Dreadful.
