Remembering Ken Saro-Wiwa

There are moments in life when something so shocking, so seemingly impossible happens, that you forever remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard about it. For me, November 10th 1995 – exactly 20 years ago today – will always be one of those moments. I was standing in Rivers...

A sweet Brooklyn Squat I used to stay at. I'm not in the video though...
Been itching to talk about the novel. https://www.facebook.com/thesoapboxview/live/ The Show also includes reading my book review of ESTRANGED by Charles Lamar Phillips. An American Red Scare Era satire, published just this February by Regal House Publishing. SOME PERSPECTIVE NEVER HURT ANYONE

In NYC and other cities squatting buildings is going to be a possibility again because of the economic effects of Covid. Like it was in the past. Landlords will not be able to pay the taxes and the buildings will go over to the city and those buildings will be available to squat and the NYPD will not have the resources to get people out.
