Idk I think it's sadder these kids are being used as political pawns. Any adult could ask these questions there's no need to politicize childhood and fill these kids heads with the toxicity that politics brings. No 10yo is naturally political, they're coached into by adults.

UGH! I just kept reading it in incognito mode. So annoying that important stories like this have a paywall. IF they want to make me pay for stuff like "50 things to do this weekend", fine, but you would think they'd make exceptions for these kinds of stories.

Haha. That’s why he wrote that recent hit piece on him.

I really wish everything would just go back to ad-supported. I have yet to see a plugin for mobile that makes bypassing just as easy as computer.

he wants to be steve keeley so bad but he cant quite get there

Yeah, I pay for the Inquirer. No way I’m paying for Victor Fiorillo’s “journalism.”

Someone post this jawn in the comments

Sigh. Even philly mag has a paywall. It only let me read one of the linked people’s stories before asking for money.

She told me not to tell so…

Actually yea…backed into a three way turn.

No, he can’t but it’d be nice to see him squirm under questioning by some tenacious grade schoolers.

Can he?

Question from student: Yes or no, will you build us a new school because ours is crumbling?

Answer from all 9 candidates: Yes!

Next line in the article: The mayor does not have the power to close schools or fix how state funding is distributed but does choose school board members and can advocate in Harrisburg.

And the machine churns on.

What in the? How???

He can still answer for this mess.

He’s moving as soon as he’s not mayor

”Vote for Bloom in the spring, let’s do the right thing. I’m from the hood, I’ll do you good.”

Amazing.

The cognition deficit needed to drool out "but muh safe injection sites tho" in response to the need to make an entire neighborhood of tens of thousands of people and children safe and clean is staggering. "It's inhumane to mandate treatment/shelter"--nah bro. What's inhumane is to allow children of working class people to have to deal with this trauma daily and being told the solution is to have a warehouse where half of street addicts can shoot up safely but most will still shoot up on the street, and even if all of them DID use SIS, you're still gonna have to deal with the trash, feces, tents, bent over kenzo yoga, your parks and rec centers will still be open air shelters and that's too bad because addicts deserve to be respected.

The sheer absurdity of this line of thinking is astounding.

Most normal, common sense people who work for a living see through this bullshit for what it is. Ivory tower logic applied to real world conditions.

MANDATORY TREATMENT AND SHELTER FOR PERSONS SUFFERING FROM ADDICTION

It’s around the corner from me, and I’ve been a regular since day two in 2007 when they opened, so it’s a no-brainer.

I also get stuff off the menu, but that’s our little secret 🤫🤐

The article has a couple sentences from like 4 of the candidates. Excellent piece as expected from inquirer election coverage /s

The fuckin minister, man. Walked up, made the kids say a corny rhyme, said Santa Claus wasn't real, and told everyone not to trust the political process, but in his diety instead.

Let these kids grill Kenney next. Let him try to explain himself.
