Under capitalism, four times more productive capacity is mobilized to produce SUVs than to produce public transit. In the middle of an ecological emergency. "Rational" and "efficient" are not words I would use to describe this arrangement.

Jon Stewart: "Every one of those Republicans that voted against healthcare for veterans, voted for the slush fund for the war. They don't support the troops. They support the war machine"

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

GOP Sen. Tom Cotton is complaining that Joe Manchin “double crossed” Republicans.

Happy Thursday, everyone! 😁

This is what we mean by "housing crisis." It's not just that the rents are too high.

[Diana Ayala @DianaAyalaNYC]

Can someone at @NYCHA tell me if they'd be ok living here? I am forwarding info to intergovernmental and expect that this will be treated as the emergency it is and repaired asap. #PattersonHouses

@jacobplitman A better question would be "how many gainfully employed roommates do you have paying into this rent?" My guess is three.

[Radio Free Gowanus @freegowanus]

@jacobplitman It's clear to me reading the many appalled replies to this that many of you have never lived in NYC. $3k per month is the average price of a modest 3 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn--not the penthouse. Is it absurd? Of course it is.

'“You just don't know if you exist anymore,” [Ramy] Hozaifeh said. “It just kind of removes your humanity from you, and I think the radio has put that back in the equation.”'

"There are a few experimental radio bands, known as LowFER, MedFER, and HiFER where anyone is welcome to play around. And of the three, LowFER seems the most promising."
