When I was a Boy Scout they used to tell us the number one thing was to leave the campsite better than it was when you found it. So that it looked like no one had ever even been there.

Hulk Hogan and the unraveling of worker solidarity
Pro wrestling’s failed unionization effort – and Hogan’s alleged role in undermining that campaign – is part of a broader story about the erosion of labor’s power since the 1980s.

When I reported local news in Brooklyn, one of the clearest obstacles to any truly progressive or helpful action for everyday New Yorkers was the IDC. At every given opportunity, they demolished hope for consequential change.
Cuomo helped form the IDC, a group of rogue Democratic state senators who sided with Republicans year after year to keep loopholes in NY’s rent stabilization laws.
The result: tens of thousands of rent stabilized units were eliminated.

This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene.
