For at least 307 years, no generation of my family has ended where it began. We're not alone. I'm writing a book about it.

A short list of everyone who got reparations:

- slave owners who went bankrupt after the Civil War
- Jewish survivors of the Holocaust
- Japanese survivors of US internment camps
- Native Americans through the Indian Claims Commission and multiple other legislation
- Miners for radiation exposure
- Sterilization victims
- U.S. farmers during Trump 1.0

There is no reason Black people shouldnt be compensated for centuries of slavery and decades of segregation. We’re not even out of Jim Crow.

Zohran Mamdani you have 7.5 more years of flash flooding to deal with and I have just the idea to help with that

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

i mean what were the other idiots doing in office?!?!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

1,000 World Cup tickets. $50 each. All for New Yorkers.

We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won.

Let the summer of soccer begin.

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

PBS is putting out incredible docs about the lost cause of the confederacy and how the south operates today on YouTube. So so good.

Did you guys know there was a plan for *another* casino near the High Line in Manhattan?

Here’s an image of what it would look like.

But New Yorkers came out droves to testify against it because they said it would’ve basically ruined the High Line.

Slapping fannies and killing grannies is a wild thing to say. True, but absolutely insane lol. I have been laughing at this for hours.
