Let’s set the record straight.

The notion that deliveristas are making $20/hr is not accurate.

They are only getting paid from the moment they pick up your food to the moment they drop it off. It’s why tips are so crucial.

I made this distinction clear on FOX 5 NY:

Squatters wouldn't exist in a society where housing was a human right.

You're mad a market-based approach that builds $5k apartments that sit empty while others are homeless.

We’ve entered the presentation stage of the semester and my civil rights litigation students are killing it! I hear echoes of the work we’ve read all semester, including our last piece, by Leah Goodridge uclalawreview.org/professionalis…

Remember that if your landlord approaches you with a buyout offer.

The stereotype of the climate activist is a youth, but in real life it’s an all age crew, and sometimes more on the middle aged and senior side.

unambiguously evil
