Socialist NYC tenant lawyer, dad/husband, music fan, home cook. Lurking till someone posts about housing, or hates on poor people, or complains about the deficit. Rent control gives you the power to tell the landlord to go to hell.
so devious to plan to use a failing essay, instead of a decent but right-leaning essay.

I just learned from my brother, and my kid's girlfriend, that there is such a thing as a battery-operated heated coat. Like a heated blanket only you wear it. Maybe look into that.

Anyone who can't tell from reading a recipe whether it will work or not is not a decent cook. If you're at the level of not being able to read between the lines of a recipe, you should probably stick to making dishes you already know how to make.

If Adams appoints holdover members of the RGB, Mamdani should say, loudly, that any increase they pass will be rolled back when he finally controls the board. Rollbacks are legal, as the Court of Appeals held in the City of Kingston case.

I'm a Marxist, and I think there's an even simpler explanation. And yes, it explains everything.

The problem with Trump's strategy of using maximum leverage in every situation is that eventually your leverage gets used up.

The reaction to identity politics is because Democrats used it as a way to avoid left wing economic policies. Voters want government to fight for their jobs and benefits. They see through the false choice Hillary posed when she asked “If we broke up the big banks tomorrow….would that end racism?"

The filibuster helps the centrists thwart the progressives and leftists, and that's their central aim. It's their whole reason for existing.

Who says the next movie needs to be set later in time than No Time to Die? Bond's death provides only an expiration date: future Bond movies can all take place prior to that date.

If you are in the path of a steamroller crushing our healthcare, and all you have is a brick to throw, throwing that brick is a moral responsibility. Don't make excuses.

We don't want that to be the way it works. And since this is a democracy, we are going to vote for a new way for it to work. And that means guys like Durbin are done.

If I was an artist I'd try to come up with an illustration of the giant wheel of racist excuses. I wonder if someone with that talent will pick up the challenge here.

Still expensive as shit. The improvements are cosmetic only. Schiphol, in the Netherlands, has a full size supermarket, charging normal prices, where you can buy gouda and bread to take with you. We need to fix the economic model at LGA.
