The last meeting is on Nov 12, 2025, but if you can't get it in before, send it anyway. There is a letter template with addresses in a recent Heliox episode "The Air We Share" on Substack.
The Mayor-Elect and the Illusion of Progressive Leadership
This is my personal opinion. Everything stated here is how I view things as a citizen, writer, and observer of politics. I do not support the mayor-elect, and I am skeptical of his promises, his policies, and the way he presents himself to the public. What follows is my perspective on the hypocrisy, contradictions, and dangers I see in his approach — not as an attack, but as a critique rooted in concern for New York City and the people who live here. From the beginning, there has been a […]
How Immigration Became the West’s Favorite Election Tool
In 2025, Canada drastically cut Indian student visa approvals, reflecting a trend where immigration is manipulated for political gain amid economic pressures.

Mass deportations could slash U.S. GDP by up to 6.8%—a $1.7 trillion hit. Rural counties that backed Trump would be hit hardest, losing critical immigrant labor in farming, construction & manufacturing. Labor gaps = higher costs, fewer jobs, and deeper economic decline.
Add tariffs to the mix—already raising costs & sparking retaliation—and these policies risk gutting rural economies. The same communities that voted for Trump are the ones most at risk.
