If you are organizing tenants in the private market in NYC, this is your moment. There is $2.2 Billion on the table. Whether nonprofit landlords get these deals or tenant unions seize them and invent new pipelines & forms of ownership is up to us. Socialization, if you want it.

The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday
The blackout here in Cuba is eerie and disturbing. Whole streets with zero light, every window dark, and then you see shapes moving in the darkness and realize people are trying to live their lives. I cannot believe how cruel this US policy is. We could stop this.
