BREAKING: Member of New York’s rental board resigns, decrying political “theater” Hours before the Rent Guidelines Board was set to make a final vote on a potential rent freeze for rent-stabilized units in NYC, Christina Smyth, the board’s lone landlord representative, resigned. Smyth said she believed the outcome of the vote had already been decided before the process was complete. She asserted that the board’s hearings, data, and public comments were merely “theater,” and that the majority ignored evidence of rising operating, insurance, and property tax costs faced by landlords, instead moving toward a rent freeze for political reasons.

After today’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of Monsanto I will officially be introducing legislation stripping pesticide companies of any liability protections for the harm their products cause the American people. These companies purposefully omit labeling information knowing their products cause cancer and other health problems. It is time they are held accountable. Enough is enough.

Today the Supreme Court made it impossible for people who develop cancer after using Roundup to sue Bayer for failing to warn them about the potential cancer risk. The Trump administration URGED and PLEADED the Court to reach this result to protect a FOREIGN chemical company—and it did at the expense of Americans. What happened to America First? For an administration that promised to take on corporate capture and Make America Healthy Again, this is a STUNNING betrayal. Farmers, families, and cancer patients currently in litigation with Bayer will never forget this.

There is "Queen Elizabeth cold” (pronounced “kyauld”) and there is "Tolkien cold” (pronounced “qōld”). The former is when the wind is biting and causes you to shiver, and the latter is a damp, gloomy chill that you feel in your bones

My favorite thing about television is how it’s used to create scenarios that never happen in real life in order to convince the masses that such scenarios are constantly happening in real life

The Bolsheviks were a tiny extremist group nobody took seriously. They could have been crushed at any time. Until one day, they couldn't. Soon they had control of all of Russia. They were insane. But that did not matter. They were organized and committed. They ruled for 74 years.

DSA settler-colonialists seem to be successfully imposing their alien rule upon the indigenous inhabitants of Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
