Another excellent piece, Henry! The coronation of the gutless “Queen Vicki”
for mayor in 2026 seems inevitable. What can we do as a community to push
her towards declaring in favor of a ceasefire and finally speaking out on
the ongoing genocide happening in real time before the eyes of the world.
Even the far-white-wing Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has called the
slaughter of Palestinian children a genocide. How can we allow our city
leaders to remain silent on this issue without protests and push back.
