The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

So apparently millennials are now to blame for the tanking economy because we're bringing lunch to work?

I'm sorry my employer insists we're in 5 days and lunch in midtown now averages 20 dollars I'm not spending 100 dollars a week or 400 a months on sad salad.

While I've known about Queens link for a long time, I recently learned about this study.

Basically 400k is ear marked for a feasibility and cost study of reactivating the Far Rockway LIRR as a subway line. The catch the volunteer team behind the project also has to fund about 100k.

Honestly what scares me more at the moment is he's a primary favorite unless Andrew Cuomo joins the race this year ... If that's the best we have NYC we're not even trying.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Not sure if I should be happy about this level of Podcast consumption or note it reflects how chaotic open office plans are.

Trip to H-Mart on the morning before the first winter storm of the season isn't as nuts as I thought it would be.

Though to be honest the forecast for NYC is ☔ not really ❄️

Will have to wait a bit longer for a run in winter wonderland
