I agree with you, Mariko

Either Democratic US Senate candidate — @jasmineforus.bsky.social or @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social — has more heart for working people than the entire combined Republican caucus that sits on high in the Texas Capitol.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

proximity to Black people. In 2025, suburbs are more diverse, however there are still neighborhoods that are racially homogenous by choice.

Let's go back to my question:

Did you grow up there or moved there voluntarily?

It is said that White Flight began in the 1950s, but it began as early as the 1930s.

The 1950s saw the birth of the suburbs. While there were many factors that led to White flight, the main reason was racism. White people refused to live in close (cont)
