Voting and participating lost Hillary the election? The fuck are you even talking about? That makes no sense. Furthermore, millions of people voted for Clinton over Trump. Trump has the lowest approval ratings of a new president ever. It&

Hell no. The last thing we need is to segregate arbitrarily designated 'gifted' students from the rest of the school population. Not only will that breed resentment amongst peer groups, it also reduces the amount of important soci

At the protest in NYC people were shouting "CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL" Very sad that's something we need to be screaming in the streets.

The first time I rode the subway without an adult I was 10 or so. I had my little brother with me and he was about 6. We went to Prospect Park pretty often. This was the early eighties.

I grew up in NYC. I certainly didn't stay indoors all day. You know there's like five or six absolutely massive sprawling parks in the city right? Not to mention exploring your neighborhood on bike and by foot. Growing up in the c

Except this was written in 1981 when NYC wasn't exactly the shining globalized mall it was today and the wealthy were fleeing like hell to CT and Jersey.

My hope was to show that any chance of "fighting corruption" is a sham and clearly a smoke-and-mirrors act used to distract from the high-level looting that is taking place. You'll notice that the OP edited their post to refl

The extent to which the Clintons undergo the "conspiracy" treatment is almost comical. There are entire galaxies of blogs and sites dedicated to teasing out symbolism from the most mundane of details. See: pizzagate.

If you really believe Tillerson has absolved all of his holdings and won't benefit, I have a hotel on Columbus Circle to sell you. His $500 billion oil deal with Putin was interrupted because of Obama's sanctions and now he's
