links.communitarium.orgClimate Law Could Shape the Race for New York City’s Next Mayor - Discuss LinksZohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, has vowed to strictly enforce the measure, Local Law 97, which calls for potentially expensive upgrades to buildings to curb greenhouse emissions. > Although in recent months Mr. Mamdani’s affordability agenda has eclipsed his stances on global warming and Local Law 97, the subjects are crucial to his platform because they are interconnected, said a spokeswoman. “Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing New Yorkers, and it’s hitting working-class communities the hardest,” she said. > > In New York City, buildings are responsible for about 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming. Local Law 97 targets about 50,000 properties that are larger than 25,000 square feet, calling for a series of reductions in emissions over the upcoming years. To meet the deadlines, some properties may have to take expensive steps like replacing oil-burning boilers or installing solar panels. > > Mr. Mamdani has said that he would offer financial assistance to middle-income homeowners seeking to get into compliance with the law. The other candidates expected to take part in the Nov. 4 general election, which include Mayor Adams, favor some leniency in the implementation of Local Law 97.

steamy sunday on the lower east side with garcia peoples, the 2nd installment of their weekly july gig at piano's. new tunes, twin guitar zaps, & a few dips into the inner oceans (plus "holy mountain" screening behind them for extra zoneiness). #nyc

Three things:
--What do you do with serial rapists, murderers, and domestic abusers without police and prisons? I'm open to ideas and alternatives.
--There are many calls that could be handled by #MentalHealth professionals and/or violence interrupters who know the local situation & can step in.
--The NRA owns this. The lax gun laws they support enable this kind of gun violence being talked about.

"There was a large amount of DJs after that because equipment became more accessible. That's not to say that they went on to become superstars or anything like that. A lot of that equipment got sold or stolen. But it did increase the number of people who had access to DJ equipment.”

"In a move that activists are saying is an attempt to quell the passionate student and worker movement for Palestinian liberation within the City University of New York (CUNY), student organizer Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik has been suspended for a year.

"Along with CCNY’s academic sanction case against Malik, CUNY has also fired four faculty members."

Does anyone know ppl organizing in #nyc #queens who could advocate for a severely ill person? I literally need to be rescued. I can barely communicate. I can't advocate for myself, push for ppl to rescue me. I can barely talk to drs, remember the prior day, keep track of n health. Yada yada I'm kinda dying. But I don't have to. Things can be done.
