I love books, music, cooking, Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC, democracy, and fighting authoritarianism.
I live close to Jackson Diner and go all the time. I miss their buffet but their food is still excellent.

Who organized the lettering? Really great.

In the face of authoritarianism, Democrats need to align behind a simple, clear platform and communicate it to the masses way better than they are now. But we the people can influence that. Protest, call, speak out, be a leader in your community.

It's not THEY need to do better. It's WE.

When we wrestle power back, we the people will have to push Dems to sieze, reclaim, prosecute, strengthen laws... we the people may have to dictate their agenda to them, and keep the pressure on.

During COVID I took care of my parents in NJ. Mom had Alzheimer's, dad had myriad physical issues. I couldn't subway/NJ Transit/Lyft four or five days a week from Queens to NJ and hold down a job. So I leased a car.

We can get to a pedestrian-friendly NYC without insulting people.

This administration is constant chaos, it's not hard to envision a draft at some point, and for her to answer that carelessly is reckless.

Were all the Democrats on message about it, mentioning it on every talk show and in social media posts? That would force the media to focus in it.

Some of the people making sure the Pride flag stays knew creator of the flag Gilbert Baker and absolutely will not let it be removed.

I'm proud to be involved in the otg movement. I wish there was a word for it. The GOP tried to label anyone resisting 'antifa' and it could be good to create our own messaging to combat that. Something like 'vanguard' that's forward-looking. Branding is everything in this capitalist hell.

He's citing Bad Bunny playing at a sports event where 70% of the players are not white as an infringement on white culture? And what "white food" is endangered - ambrosia salad? Racist bullshit.

The bravery fueling the resistance to this evil GOP and the Epstein class inspires me every day. It has made me a more courageous person.

Thank you! I had to stop reading it. They also basically say it doesn't really have medical benefits. Bullshit.
February 9, 2026 at 6:47 PM
Please, Democrats, get on message like the GOP does. Epstein Class is not only a great tagline, it is the disgusting truth.

@schumer.senate.gov how can you read accounts like these and believe that reform is possible? #AbolishICE

Are the Democrats this willfully ignorant because they're too scared to really fight? Too lazy? Too wealthy?

The Democrats could set up a rapid response daily report. How our democracy is crumbling, what Dems would do different, lay out their Project 2028...

Caught up in the rapture of scrubbing.
