“Our schools have already seen after-school programs decimated, arts programs eliminated... Now they won’t have adequate fuel for the day.” https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/01/26/burritos-french-fries-and-other-kid-faves-axed-by-adams-school-budget-cuts/

That's how you radicalize the kids, take their books and dumplings. 😄😉

Kids starting to get political is when you know shit's bad.

I just want one mayor in my lifetime who I don't end up despising.

adinayoffie.bsky.social•399 days ago

Your son for mayor!

We have got to be able to recall mayors and I don’t understand why no progressive is introducing legislation to that effect

bikeengineer.bsky.social•399 days ago

Why is it that politicians are so willing to cut services we need like education and libraries but won’t cut the obvious waste in police departments.

ckjohnsonbk.bsky.social•399 days ago

The answer is “not soon enough.” 😡

leroc.bsky.social•399 days ago

But, but ... freedom!

redloribrighteyes.bsky.social•399 days ago

yes! Budget cuts radicalising future voters! I LOVE IT!

punkymaysnark.bsky.social•399 days ago

But we GOTTA plant the NYPD all over the world! It's for our freedom!

I find this hysterical, since the NC public school I’m at serves pizza and chicken(?) sandwiches every day. EVERY DAY.

emilynussbaum.bsky.social•399 days ago

Well, that’s where we’re at too, except that it’s pizza and pb&j every day & and I don’t find it funny— a ton of kids can’t afford to eat and depend on these meals

leecreighton.com•399 days ago

Of course I meant “hysterical” in the “I can’t control my anger on this issue” sense.

emilynussbaum.bsky.social•399 days ago

Oh! In that case, I share in the hysteria

One of the joys of moving to San Francisco is that my neighborhood library is open 7 days a week. They have adjusted hours so they can be open on Sundays and until 8:00pm three days a week.

❤️ How old is your son?

The city elected a cop and is them surprised that his priorities are fucked.

trishanderton.bsky.social•399 days ago

He should canvass/leaflet for a candidate! In my experience young people are a big hit with potential voters.

And I share his anger about the library. It’s harder to go after work now. It should be one of the last things to cut—along with our children’s nutrition.

jennc.bsky.social•399 days ago

I used to love when kids would canvas with me. People love seeing kids get involved. I started in high school before I was old enough to vote.

trishanderton.bsky.social•399 days ago

His cynical maneuver of pretending he would ever cut the NYPD is also infuriating

rlux.nyc•399 days ago

I can't wait to vote him out.
