Genevieve R. argues “political independence” is a liberal frame that idolizes individualism. But for socialists, there is no virtue in being alone.

Instead, we should aspire toward the collective ownership and power we need to actually win. www.socialistmajority.com/theagitator/...
No One Is “Politically Independent”
This individualist buzzphrase has a stranglehold on left-wing politics. It makes no sense and distracts us from our real goals: ownership and power.

“We don’t need a vacancy study to tell us that this is a real and urgent crisis, [...] I have clients whose children have never known a home other than the four walls of a motel room.”

Read the coverage from last night's Kingston Common Council meeting: midhudsonnews.com/2025/04/02/h...
The image shows the top portion of a news article from "Mid Hudson News," a publication serving the Hudson Valley / Catskill Region. The headline in bold blue text reads, "Housing advocates flood Kingston Common Council meeting, seek action amid soaring rents." Below the headline, the date is listed as April 2, 2025, the time as 5:59 am, and the author is Roger Rosenbaum. There is a photo beneath the text showing a person speaking at a podium in a meeting room, identified by the City of Kingston seal on the podium. The speaker has short hair and is gesturing while talking. In the background, other attendees are seated; some are listening, while one person appears to be using a smartphone. The seating is wooden and the room is decorated with dark curtains and plaques on the walls.

You shouldn’t have to be rich to live in the Hudson Valley.

Last night, Kingston residents called on the Common Council to support our campaign to build tens of thousands of permanently affordable, sustainable, union-built homes across the state!

Yesterday, our chapter members rallied with @sarahanaforassembly in Albany to launch the Rent Emergency Stabilization Act (REST Act), a bill that will make it much easier for upstate municipalities to adopt rent stabilization.
The image shows a diverse group of people gathered on the steps of a building, seemingly for a protest or a rally. They are holding various signs advocating for housing rights. The individuals are wearing casual attire, with some wearing winter hats, indicating a possible cold climate. In the foreground, a woman stands at a podium, speaking into a microphone. To her left, a man in a gray suit stands with his hands clasped. Architectural details, such as ornate columns and stonework, frame the scene, suggesting a historic or governmental building. The group appears engaged and attentive.

Our Housing Working Group had our annual retreat yesterday, and the vibes were top-notch! We’re feeling proud of the work we’ve done and energized by our plans to protect and expand tenants' rights, organize tenants, and build green social housing across the Hudson Valley! ✊🏡
The image shows a diverse group of people gathered in a room for a retreat. There are fifteen individuals, both seated and standing, some smiling and displaying relaxed or enthusiastic expressions. In the background, a television screen displays a red slide with the words “Housing Working Group 2025 Retreat.” The room is bright, with natural light coming from a window on the left side. Various personal items and a large cup with a straw sit on a wooden table in the foreground. The people are casually dressed. There are sticky notes and a notebook visible on the table.

Tenants and members of our Housing Working Group came together to celebrate the passage of Good Cause in the Town of Fishkill!

🏡We’re fighting for a Hudson Valley where every tenant is protected from unfair rent hikes and evictions.🏡

Get involved: dsausa.org/join
The image shows a group of thirteen people gathered indoors, smiling and posing for a photo. They are arranged in two rows; those in the front row are kneeling or sitting, while those in the back are standing. In the center, a person holds a sign saying, "Welcome Fishkill Tenants," with a small house graphic beside the text. Two individuals in the front wear black shirts with the words "Housing Justice for All." Behind the group is a softly lit, modern interior with several decorative elements, including wall art and a wooden bench. The atmosphere appears warm and welcoming.

Zellnor Myrie's platform offers nothing for tenants struggling to stay in their homes right now. Even worse, it undermines rent stabilization, giving landlords more ways to raise rents and push families out.

70% of New Yorkers rent — if you want our votes, freeze the rent.

It’s official: I’m running for Mayor of New York City — because we need to Rebuild NYC.

Rebuild NYC is a mandate for one million homes — because either we bring down the cost of housing, or we continue to lose New Yorkers. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not leaving.

Rents are getting raised, neighbors are getting displaced, but the folks of Fishkill are fighting back.

After yesterday's canvass, one thing is clear: tenants in Fishkill want Good Cause Eviction protections!
The image shows a group of twelve people posing outdoors in front of a building with beige brick walls. Eight people stand at the back, raising their fists, while four are kneeling in the front. They are dressed in casual attire, wearing jackets, hoodies, and hats. In the background, there is a bulletin board decorated with sunflowers and autumn-themed decorations, and a scarecrow stands beside it. A pumpkin is on the ground near the group, adding to the autumn theme. The sidewalk and a few orange traffic cones are visible, with leafless trees in the background under a clear blue sky. Most of the participants hold clipboards or papers.
