Jabari Brisport in a field of broccoli. Illustration: Eliana Rodgers When he was a kid growing up in Prospect Heights, State Senator Jabari Brisport, a socialist and vegan actor turned math teacher, didn’t have political ambitions. But in 2016, he found himself engulfed by the Bernie Sanders campaign. “I felt the Bern really hard,” he recalls.
Then I went back home for a bunch of Zoom meetings. Definitely more than half of my life is Zoom meetings these days. So I had some internal meetings with my team to check in on and prep for some interviews and to talk about ERAP, which is a rental-assistance program in New York. And also I had to check in with a constituent whose son was a victim of police violence — she’s looking for options. In between those, I had a little leftover breakfast taco from the other day from Warude in Bed-Stuy.
Work wrapped up around five, and since I was off for the rest of the night, my boyfriend and I got Chinese delivered. It’s a local place called Wonderful Asian Restaurant, and it is wonderful. I got General Tso’s tofu with white rice and broccoli. I always get extra broccoli. I just really enjoy the crunch.
Back to Zoom for the afternoon, then I headed out to the field for a bit, walking in the neighborhood, steeled by my frozen cookies. I hit a few different spots. We just hung out, although at some point I made a spiked hot-chocolate drink I do sometimes. This one was spiked cold chocolate, though, because I was hot. My recipe is: I dump some Hershey’s syrup into almond milk and then pour a little whiskey or amaretto in it and have a good time. I also just got some of that vegan Baileys, Baileys Almande. It’s so creamy and good. It’s not in every liquor store, but when I see it, I grab it.Saturdays are yoga days.
I met her at a vegan spot called Greedi Kitchen. We just had a great chat about our shared priorities, what we want for our districts, and we just went to town. We shared some cauliflower bites and then I had a watermelon-arugula salad with chick’n and a virgin Paloma — I still had to do a little more traveling — and we both had some vegan banana pudding for dessert.

‘Playing political football with lives’: State GOP wages war on vaccines“Republicans claim to be the party of pro-life. Well if you are the party of pro-life, be for children and don’t deny them information and access to live-saving health care opportunities,” says Tennessee’s Rep. Lamar on the GOP rolling back vaccine outreach to children. The forced-birth party that calls itself 'pro-life' in the same way North Korea calls itself 'democratic republic', has always put just as much effort into stopping education, breakfast programs, and childhood and parental health, as they have against abortion for the poors only. I Remember a time unless you were vaccinated, YOU could NOT attend school.....anyone I have yet to hear the msm talk abt MIS-C in children who’ve had covid. The numbers continue to grow. Look at the age group mostly affected. Most aren’t eligible for the vaccine yet. KeepThemSafe
