Haven't been on much today to know of there's a new one but there's been Trotsky, 
, and I think Zohran sesh's just this week alone? Not sure if I'm missing one. I think there were like 2 other mini struggle sessions within the emoji one though. Deep in the posting trenches, piling up all the chisme

Jk... Kinda
Nope, too busy in the struggle session threads
I mean Bernie, AOC, Warren and now it sounds like Obama are warm towards him? I'm pulling for the guy but I dunno if he has really faced many attacks by the dems yet. I think they know that embracing him will make them look better. Just hope he doesn't capitulate
Dude.... What in the actual fuck this has basically been my ritual since I was a kid except mine is:
- Take a gulp of water
- look up, water still in mouth
- spin around 3 times
- swallow water
Cool thank you! I wonder if the NYC tolls would somehow breach the commerce clause in the constitution and that is why the federal government were able to intervene? I might be able to get an answer on that and I'll get back to you if I do.
The rent control thing seems pretty straightforward as it's written that it will not be possible for a rent freeze to be enacted at the snap of his fingers... But yeah, maybe there is something we are missing..
Edit: It seems that the Rent Guidelines Board that CoolerOpposide mentioned is in charge of setting rent guidelines for units that already are governed by rent control regulations, so maybe the prior article is saying that he can't freeze rents for ALL units.
That seems too good to be true. I also havent lived anywhere with a mayor that has power over anything in a while either which I almost wish we had. We have a city council over here and it's a fucking pain in the ass. The same real estate mogul/conservative keeps getting voted in over and over for years because he runs unopposed so there's kinda no way to change that one vote
Seriously. As a social worker I see and do all kinds of crazy shit too especially working with the homeless population. I think it would be interesying.
Do you have links to any of the stuff you're reading up on to share? I personally don't think it's oppositional to ask pragmatic questions about how his platform will be carried out effectively; not doing that and just running off good vibes is idealistic. We need to be realistic about our expectations and about what we can actually achieve through the current government channels
Literally lol. Perhaps this can be a positive for workers; less red tape, more opportunity for militant action
