Queens NYC by way of Long Island. I want climate and reproductive justice, antiracism. Unitarian Universalist, DSA member and mom.

In my personal life I agree 100%. Don’t go to Thanksgiving, take care of yourself. But I’ve talked to too many Trump/Mamdani voters to believe this a waste of time while trying to win an election. I’d also point out that almost all of the Trump/Mamdani voters I met are not white.

What floors me is, this should be common sense. And I am talking about deep, 1-1, intentional personal conversations here. But somehow Dems-- even and especially progressive ones!-- think they can win these folks over with a policy meeting or a Fox News appearance.

This Labor Day, remember that the only reason you have an 8 hour day and a 5 day workweek is bc people paid in blood, they went on strike and were murdered, shot dead by their employers and the US government for daring to ask to be treated like human beings.

I was at coffee shops in Ridgewood today talking to people about the DSA slate and I met a surprising number of tourists. They were from as far away as Utah and South Carolina. It’s pretty neat there seeing parts of NYC most visitors don’t. Hope they had fun. ☕️
