There is a problem with the stories we tell & the way we perceive how change happens. The Union of Pinnacle Tenants, the largest tenant-led union in NYC—are the reason Mamdani took action. Organized people power is pivotal. Top down stories of elected heroes (even ones we like) are not sufficient.

The number of dipshit writers thinking they are being clever or profound by interacting with AI and then writing about it is getting a bit much. Not a single one has been non-stupid. You sound pathetic. Just do not use it, full stop.
