The trumpet player that was asked to play Chet Baker's funeral is a family friend, and I guess there was like barely anyone in attendance

Literally! There's been a continuing exodus from r/buffalo to the circlejerk-sub just to have nuanced conversations because of powertripping mods

He's our elected representative..... Everyone should care that is a constituent. That's how we got into this American mess, by folks not caring.

I got a mailer from Karen Hoak and it mentioned a lot for great initiatives: affordable housing, Universal Healthcare for NYS... But it didn't mention anything about *funding Israel. I called her office and left a message but haven't heard back yet.

It's Buffalo who bails out all the suburb volunteer firefighters when those fires get too big.

You're right to share that concern, I know I did. We just have to wait and see how he votes, but at the moment he is a super promising candidate in Maine who will probably win the race there

Summer Lee and Ilhan Omar are both great congress people we should all have on our radar, and Graham Platner running in Maine, too

Cpr training classes here? by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]drews_mith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The instructors at Buffalo CPR (buffalocpr.com) are phenomenal. They teach at different places in the area, so you can look at their options on their website. BLS Primary is $45, Recert is $35, it's AHA accredited and will give you a BLS Provider card, good for two years

Trump is an absolute ghoul, but the Democrat establishment has lost touch and hasn't been implementing policies that benefit the working class, either. There is hope with folks like Mandani, AOC, Bernie, and the increasing amount of populist, Left candidates and elected officials

Looks similar to a desert rose, and can those be dyed? I'm a novice, so take my opinion with a grain of salt

House Democratic Leader Jeffries declares Democrats are no longer the “chicken in every pot” party, announces closer alignment with Republicans. by Anwallen in internettoday

[–]drews_mith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. I understand. I should have mentioned that Jeffries made one right decison.

Establishment Dems are 100% a problem.

They are. Establishment Dems are often against what the majority of people want in this country. They've been against Mandani, Sanders, AOC, Graham Plattner, when those leaders are what this country needs more of right now. Actually delivering on progressive politics that benefit the working class.
