Many of these people have been betrayed but in our administration their needs will be met. Their hopes and dreams and interests will be reflected transparently in government.
They will shape our future and if for too long these communities have existed as distinct from one another, we will draw this city closer together. We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. If our campaign demonstrated that we yearn for solidarity then let this government foster it. Because no matter what you eat, how you pray or where you come from, the words that most define us are the two we all share, New Yorkers. less

Criminal incitement refers to conduct, words, or other means that urge or naturally lead others to riot, violence, or insurrection. Many states and the federal government have enacted laws prohibiting inciting riots, violence, or insurrection, whether by those names or under laws prohibiting disorderly conduct, public disorder, mobs, or breach of peace.

The song "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry -- since a boy of six years old, I love the song so much I still choose not to watch the movie based upon the songThe original version of the 'children's' book "A Day with Wilbur Robinson" by William Joyce -- I fell in love with the book as a late-twenty-something adult; I love Joyce's artwork and humour; a movie 'Meet the Robinsons" was made (have not watched it) and after the movie release, Joyce "re-did" the book; I've not looked closely at the new version; I love the originalThe 1997 original Austrian movie "Funny Games" directed by Michael Haneke -- Haneke remade his own movie into an English-language film; I refuse to watch the remake - - the original is superlative, excellent and flawless in all ways to meEDIT: Ha! "Funny Games" is Austrian yet I realize the image I posted features the French language :) less

You're right - this isn't about being "emotionally ." What you're describing is real: a collective exhaustion from navigating compounding crises that don't let up. The pandemic aftermath, political polarization, economic strain, climate anxiety, global conflicts - it all creates this persistent background hum of tension that wears people down whether they acknowledge it or not.That "high wire nervous energy" is a good way to put it. When threat becomes ambient and chronic rather than acute and temporary, our nervous systems don't get the recovery time they evolved to need. It's not dramatic - it's just grinding. And when you add environmental degradation on top of everything else, that feeling of things sliding in the wrong direction despite individual effort... that's heavy.Your pessimism about the environmental trajectory isn't irrational either. The gap between what's needed and what's happening is stark, and watching that play out in real time while trying to just get through daily life creates a... less
