New York Gerrymandering Reform Comes Around To Bite Democrats
* The decennial census came out in 2020, and now, as the 2022 elections approach, we are in redistricting season. The gerrymanderers are out in force, fighting for advantage in every Congressional and state legislative race nationwide. * For many decades, gerrymandering battles often got fought in the federal courts, where the side that had come out on the short end in the legislature would argue for redress under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the federal Constitution. * In 2019 a 5-4 conservative majority of the Supreme Court substantially ended that ga... read more

In 1999, the United States and the 56 other participating states of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) signed a charter in Istanbul that is another intentionally ignored key to understanding the war in Ukraine. The OSCE is the world’s largest regional security organization . It claims to engage in political dialogue - that is, a forum for political dialogue on a wide range of security issues.

A Life In Transit: ‘What You Can Get Is Set By How Far You Are Prepared To Go’
I got hired by the New York City Transit Authority, which runs the subways and buses, in the aftermath of a 1980 strike. Even though the strike was a victory, its early ending by local leadership betrayed us—and that hurt. There was still an old opposition in the union, but they were at the point in their careers that they were retiring before long. At the same time, there were people getting hired who were members of socialist organizations, like me. We wanted to work in transit because transit workers have potential power, and we wanted to change the union to be more democratic ... read more

We are one.
Children of the Light of Alpha and Omega, The dilemma of good and evil was put to naught by Jesus Christ when he addressed the rich young man who came and said unto him, “Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal Life?” The Master replied: “Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God. But if thou wilt enter into Life, keep the commandments.” <1>Jesus would not be classified as a good person. No, he would not.

The Jackson-Kush Plan & The Struggle For Land
While the land relationships that dominate this society have implications for every relation in society, the recent crisis of gentrification and forced removal in low income Black communities, along with the volatile boom-bust real estate cycles, has made the struggle for adequate housing the most pronounced battleground in an increasingly intense war over the vision for the future of how we relate, prioritize and manage access to land.
