#fighttheoligarchy — Public Fediverse posts

Thanks to friends, neighbors, communities and volunteer marshals, we had a safe and fun March Against the Casino and Public Hearing!

Our Queens reps backed a casino at Citi Field, but they still don’t have a license. We need to keep up pressure so the state doesn’t grant one.

What can you do?

Tell the Gaming Commission to reject the Metropolitan Park Casino: https://tinyurl.com/NoCasinoFMCP

IT'S HERE! TODAY!

Our reps sold us out and tried to silence us. Online trolls threatened us. But we will not be silenced or intimidated. We will stand up for Queens, our neighborhoods, our communities, our friends and elders and children.

MARCH AGAINST THE CITI FIELD CASINO
starting at 1pm at Corona Plaza
marching to the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park for a People's Hearing on the casino

Anonymous trolls threatened violence against the family-friendly March Against the Casino.

It's been reported, so there may be more police, and also safety + deescalation support. Please do what feels safe for you.

But we won’t be intimidated. This march will be peaceful: full of music, bubbles, kids, and joy. Not a place for hate; a place for community power.

🚶‍♀️ Sunday Oct 5 · 1 PM
📍 Start: Corona Plaza → end at the Unisphere for a people’s hearing at 2:30 PM

Come stand against Steve Cohen’s casino.

I know. I only post about the casino these days. Sorry, not sorry.

@pluralistic Cory's latest on Amazon is a must read: https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/14/flywheel-shyster-and-flywheel/#unfulfilled-by-amazon

I've been locked into Amazon Prime for a while: I have movies on Prime Video, and a fuckton of Kindle books.

There Are Ways to turn these DRMed assets into more portable, perpetually accessible assets, and once that is accomplished, I think I'll break my lockin. They've been raising prices and been definitely shittier in letting me find what I want. #Amazon #Monopolies #Monopolists #FightTheOligarchy
