Anand had a very interesting discussion with Tara about the "age" for doing great political work that is meaningful. He reminded us of the age of the one who got the US its Constitution and wrote most of it: 33, in and era where people didn't live much past their 50s. Go Youth Go ! Back in those days, people got involved in a lot of "political" action even at the end of their teenage and in their early 20's. Also, he reminded us that throughout the times, young people have also been formidable scientists, engineers, etc. In the current high tech era, this is even more the cass. Go Youth Go !

Such an insightful interview. Glad to hear from a young woman involved in progressive politics. This is smart and inspiring. Facing reality and making connections, finding meaning and community with like-minded people. We can all learn from Abril. Thank you!

She went to Luigi Mangione’s last hearing and admitted to going to every media, giving her full legal name, & to get his attention. She also admitted to only getting into social efforts a few months ago, with no prior background in it, because of him and tries to get him to notice her through it. It seems like she may be using this media for that too.

Likewise, she indicated that she tells him all the social justice work she does in her consistent letters to him, which is published on Googleable news, to seemingly align with what she thinks his interests are. I would be careful with this, because it is possible she sends your content to a jail or prison system without your knowing and for personal purposes. Such letters are recorded and could be grounds for inclusion in litigation, especially given that that’s concerning active litigation

Again, a Google search will help you understand the context. Please contact me if you would like the message records directly. I would be happy to show them as proof. She is being dishonest about not having her mind on dating. Again, happy to provide the records directly, because they were recorded due to her reputation.

She also sends multiple letters to him with pictures of herself, per her. She stated that she “wasn’t his type,” though after admitting this. A simple google search of her name and look at the results should help you understand the situation.

Bizarre that young people are even more superficial than I could ever imagine. There are millions of jobs that are rewarding for those that have actual skills.

Who decided whether a girl was hot enough to be a "Hot Girls for Zohran"?

Are you going to talk about Zohran’s policies, his Democratic Socialism? His politics of caring for your fellow citizens? Not just a social group…
