Real Estate Mogul, Others Pour $1M To Defeat Progressive LA City Councilmember Nithya Raman | LAist

Raman, who chairs the City Council’s Homelessness and Housing Committee, was a vocal opponent of Dan Emmett’s ongoing attempts to evict tenants from more than 700 units at his Barrington Plaza high-rise in Westwood — something he said was necessary to install fire systems.

An outspoken supporter of tenants’ rights, Raman sided with residents who accused Emmett of staging the mass evictions so he could raise rents in the rent-controlled building. The residents argued that the sprinklers could have been installed without evicting anyone.

Alma – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A alma é clássica,

Esbelta

e veste Preto e Branco

 

Gosta de poesia

e deste, inunda o seu interior

Gasta horas se alimentando de versos

Vivos, inquietos

Ela sabe o seu valor.

Foge de dicionários

Porque sempre teve certeza que o amor

Não se traduz;

Ela sequer sofre

Porque o sofrimento gera a perda da docilidade,

e da intensidade do ” Eu te amo!”

Ela também não suporta ” mascaras”

Não sobrevive o que é obscuro.

É límpida

e fragmentada como poesia

 

 

A alma é clássica,

Imponente

Misteriosa,

Sedutora.

Vestida de seda,

Revela-se

Na beleza da mulher,

Na transcendência mística entre a carne e o pecado.

 

Marii Freire. Alma

Time For Some Snarklets | Filosofa’s Word

With friends like the U.S., who needs enemies, right?  Recently, Donald Trump claimed that he would withdraw the United States from NATO on his first day as president if he were to be elected in November.  And then last weekend, he said he would encourage Russian President/Dictator Vladimir Putin to attack any of the NATO nations who were behind in their financial support of the alliance.  One would think that funding for NATO were coming straight out of Donald’s pocket … when quite the opposite is true.  I have paid more toward NATO than tax-dodger Trump ever has, and so have you!

Echoes of Enduring Love – Kaushal Kishore

 

(valentine special)

In the labyrinth of forgetting, a plea echoes,

“Don’t entangle, futile to erase what time bestows…”

*

A silhouette, stubborn and fleeting, yields to time’s embrace,

Even subdued love in a small heart conquers obstinacy’s space…

*

As December’s memories wane, January’s wait takes hold,

Waiting is my companion, time my realm to unfold…

*

Harbour no grudge, let feelings flow like a gentle tide,

If I held you in my hands, freedom would be your guide…

*

Yet within my gaze, you linger, always within my reach,

Love, resilient, withstands life’s harsh speech…

*

Buildings may crumble, but mine stands tall,

Cease the futile quest, the day you grasp it all…

*

Understanding unveils the truth concealed,

In the echoes of my love, your heart is revealed…

–Kaushal Kishore
