exactly right.
I always have my little quibble with Nina and Bernie that it’s not just the working class that shouldn’t be poor in America. It’s everyone. “poor” implies that you are not able to thrive, that life is short and often mean.
Just got my Nina postcards today. Looking forward to writing them over the Memorial Day weekend.
I feel like HW Bush in asking this question, but how much is a book of postcard stamps, for those who may have purchased some in recent years?
You probably know this but hop on USPS.com and the info is there. 😊
That’s so cool you’re doing that Benny.
I had fun just now looking at stamps:
sun science
Star Wars droids
Made of Hearts (one of my faves for sure)
Spooky Silhouette are awesome, but probably not great for this application, lol
(although I must say that I will never forget how Nina seemed to be literally stalking, like a fabulous wild cat, onstage when I saw her at the Bernie’s Back rally, it was fantastic. She even had an animal print dress under her fab long jacket, her energy is something else)
But of course the postcard stamps are cheaper and not as many designs to choose from – the Barn stamps were my fave for postcards. Nina is pro-farmer, just like she’s pro-all working people.
Coil of 100 = $36.00
Geez, I’m glad you alerted to me to this one because there was only one more choice, something with the reefs. So Barns it will be although I wish there was something more urban.
I had high hopes that that day would propel Bernie to the nomination Little did we know how bad the DNC were drawing thier plans against him
True, but working the 2016 campaign was one of the best times of my life. I was around a lot of young people and the feeling of optimistic hope was infectious and sorely needed. Plus I met all my fellow TPW Nesters.😊☮️👏

Great. I wish he’d negotiate some kind of partial municipal or state interest in any that are privately owned.

I’m not a huge fan of Stringer, but I must admit I don’t want that ex-Republican Adams to win, so was glad to see him rising in the polls. But again, I don’t live there so whomever wins I just hope they are the best one for the people of NYC.
I saw this, things getting hot.
Wiley responded:
And Stringer hitting Yang for sounding clueless:
And Yang does, sometimes, sound a bit clueless.
Can’t help but wonder what Yang meant by “a 21st-century approach to policing”..

I got this news tip from Al-Jazeera. I’ve been watching more AJ English news than other digital visual media outlets, Democracy Now withstanding. The MSM in the US still doesn’t give us a clear picture in what is occurring in Gaza.
I’ve found Al J refreshing point of view from a news standpoint.
That’s great! We’d never get that far, I don’t think.
T and R, Ms. Benny!! ☮️😊👏
