"Talks excessively" my teachers would write on my report card. Now I speak up for others, break barriers, join a few boards, and publish over 15 books. Professional Wanderer & Volunteer.

Every month it feels like a surprise but every month there always seems to be a problem with quality of service. Getting less for more feels like robbery. ✌🏿 🌎 ❤️

Fun fact: New York Subways and Chicago trains still run in the snow. Kind of feels like public transportation is quite the investment. "It's too much money," is a terrible excuse. ✌🏿 🌎 ❤️

It's a failure of morality if the generations before you want you to go through the same obstacles that they did. ✌🏿 🌎 ❤️

If you judge countries on how big their military is, that shows that you stand for war more than you stand for peace. ✌🏿 🌎 ❤️

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Cyber Monday deals on groceries feels dystopian because what do you mean the groceries could've been affordable in the first place?

Going into yet another year with a $7.25 minimum wage got me questioning what are the priorities of the peeps representing us? ✌🏿 🌎 ❤️

Less pollution, less car wrecks, less reliance on gasoline, less carbon footprint but the American Government is so pro money that they've lost the plot and it's not giving pro people. ✌🏿 🌎 ❤️

Can we call any public transportation company successful if it still leaves communities out and we don't see measurable outcomes like less cars on the road? Imagine an incentive to catch public transportation.

I didn't get a car until I moved from NYC and had a taste of better public transportation. I was in awe. Even when I was in Minneapolis I was amazed at the heated bus stops.

Another day has passed and I don't understand why public transportation isn't a priority everywhere. Imagine a thriving city where peeps weren't reliant on cars. It's hard to imagine because lobbyists don't want this.

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

Some changes that they can look forward to:

If our elected officials got paid the minimum wage in their state, said wage would be increased like yesterday.

AI is starting to look a lot like the AI in the new Tron movie where these super rich folks were arguing about a tech that was only stable for 29 minutes. AI is soon gonna feel like the internet. It's shiny, but what else can you do?

I miss the old rich people that built libraries. New rich people ask for Tax breaks. Carnegie was problematic but omg! I bet he would be like, "eww poor" to our rich favs that refuse to flex their philanthropic muscles.

This is the season where I put prance around from event to event dressed as an elf giving out toys and hot chocolate alongside community leaders. It never gets old.

The negotiation for the PA Budget has some wins. Leaving the Regional Greenhouse Gas Iniative caps the amount of pollution is a terrible compromise. Also, no new revenue sources is disappointing. Hey! There were some tax credits in there. Will the tax credits matter if the air is terrible?

The government can keep their stimulus. I just want them to stop overstimulating everyone's nervous system and maybe chill for a few days or years. 🤷🏿‍♀️ 🤷🏿‍♀️ 🤷🏿‍♀️

I would like to start a petition to car companies to stop making headlights so bright. Drivers don't need to see all the way to outer space. Sincerely, a driver whose car sits low to the ground and hates the lights at night.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said states that issued full November SNAP benefits to recipients following a court decision should “immediately undo” the distributions and that failure to comply could result in the cancellation of future federal funds.

This is a domino effect. Even if the airport you fly out isn't a high traffic one there's connections that need to be made from those non high traffic ones.The FAA is requiring 4% of flights in and out of 40 airports to be cut and that percentage will increase to 10%

Even if shutdown ends now, flying home for Thanksgiving could still be travel nightmare
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Friday that staffing shortages of air traffic controllers likely can't be resolved before one of the busiest travel periods of the year.

It shouldn't be radical for taxes to go to feeding hungry children. I never want to be a millionaire, but if I were, I wouldn't feel the issue with paying more taxes to help people who have less. Any millionaire against paying more in taxes is giving Disney Villain Energy.
