US females were legally property until 1993. We dug out. You can. Reporter with a Pulitzer nom on first story, went indie once I saw inside. Married, mom and grandmom, I write for 99%, work to empower people and land, and love hearing wild water run.

Thank you!
> They respond well too to "robust, high quality."
> Depending upon subject matter, I add, "Ignore my cues," important because training can include likability, which they may interpret as telling you what you want to hear.

All the people that celebrate Columbus and want to ignore that he raped and enslaved many indigenous people of South America. & the Mediterranean would be like Honoring John Wayne Gacy for his clown performances at hospitals with sick kids and ignoring that he killed 30 or so, young men.

We can tell billionaires that this city doesn’t just belong to them.

We can tell Donald Trump that he cannot buy this election.

And we can tell Andrew Cuomo that New York City is not for sale!”

Mamdani crushed it tonight.

Better still, read Dec;aration and " Common Sense" by Tom Paine, voice of the American Revolution never carried all the way through here. Protect the wins of the Constitutions, never allow another Constitutional convention (they'd abolish it) but keep amending it, keepi it current. We're past due.

Airports in the US are generally owned by state/local governments who have their own laws against doing overt partisan politics with public resources even if the feds refuse to follow their equivalent.
