Watched this black cashier have a full convo wit a ww @ macys. I got to the register, greeted him, he didn’t say one word to me. When i finished paying I was like “you only speak to white people?” He started stuttering. Ppl have basic manners for who they choose to.
Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years, what do we see? ... we see the wealthiest country in the history of the world -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"
@ItsKingsWorld Why should Porsha defends her? She literally sits there as Kelli goes after Porsha every time. I’ve never seen her told Kelli she’s gone too far.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.

They did everything right.

I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.

Four Supreme Court justices have argued that Donald Trump can change the Constitution with an executive action, BUT JOE BIDEN CAN’T FORGIVE YOUR STUDENT LOAN DEBT.

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession.
Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council.
We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will.
Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.
