“You don’t need a PhD in Tasseography to read these tea leaves: There’s a strong belief on One Jets Drive that ownership wants Todd Bowles to continue to lead this rebuilding outfit.”
“Nothing is officially official, but Woody and Christopher Johnson have put a premium on stability at head coach and general manager during this rebuilding process. However, there are important questions for Bowles to consider before anything is finalized. First and foremost, do the Jets have a smart plan to land a franchise quarterback?”

Hey y'all, my name is Karishma Mehta and I'm running for the House of Delegates in Virginia's 49th District. My parents immigrated here from India in the late 80s seeking economic freedom, but instead they combatted racism and bigotry while struggling to pay rent, put food on the table and afford healthcare for our family.
I became a teacher after the high school student I mentored committed suicide right before her graduation. I took on thousands of dollars in student debt, skipped meals to pay rent, and have funded my own classroom instead of going to the doctor. Now, I see the same oppressive systems impacting my 5-year-old students and their families.
I'm running for office to dismantle systems rooted in white supremacy and worker exploitation. Our campaign is fighting for policies like universal healthcare and rent control, fully-funded equitable public schools, tuition-free public college and trade schools, a Green New Deal for our planet, a repeal of "Right-to-Work", and divesting from the carceral system to reinvest in our Black/Brown communities.
To me, this campaign is a historic moment for my community (and people all across Virginia). For the first time in District 49's history, a teacher and woman of color, backed by a multiracial working-class coalition, is challenging the corporate status quo in a "deep blue" district while taking on Amazon HQ2, luxury developers, the military and prison industrial complexes, ICE detention profiteers, and so much more.
Watch my campaign launch video here! You can join our working-class movement by volunteering (virtual or in-person) and donating to our 100% people-funded campaign.
We're just getting started, Reddit. Ask me anything!
EDIT: Thanks ya'll, that's all the time I have. I had a lot of fun answering your questions, and looking forward to participating again soon.
