What was it Timothy Snyder just said to Ali Velshi? Something like “If you don’t think that you have the power to affect history, then you don’t. But if you allow yourself to see yourself in history, and you get out and do things, then you will feel better and you can affect change.”
Can’t wait to see more pictures of the Subway Station where Mamdani will be sworn in as the next mayor of NYC. The one or two I saw were beautiful.
Thanks to Steven Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors for speaking out on the shooting at Brown University. What are we going to do? Are we going to tell our legislators that if they are unwilling to pass common sense gun legislation that we will not vote for them again?
