Excited by the prospect of Mamdani bringing his communication skills to talking about basic public functions and the people that provide them.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Posting about how great Mamdani is on Bluesky is not my most original form of expression, but so often when the campaign ends, even the good guys stop engaging the public. I love this approach to communicating what govt will be and who is thinking about it. (Artists listed 2nd in advisor list.)

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.
