Respectfully, I think this headline should read something like, “Possible/Alleged Victims” rather than, “Girlfriends.” It seems pretty clear that at least at one point, they were unable to consent. I am nervous about characterizing them as romantic partners (even if they themselves say they are) rather than women who…

These vile individuals were fine to sit on the tapes as long as money & the lifestyle they wanted were provided. Now, they will all abandon this mess of human and act like they are cleansing their souls. Disgusting.

Yeah the publicist’s post is typical speak for someone in that position. It doesn’t drive home the point enough. Beyoncé needs to step up and tell her people herself that she won’t tolerate this kind of behavior. It’s the only chance that the message gets through.

Beyonce should make a post on her social media accounts that she will not tolerate her fans harassing people, in those terms, and not just have her publicist post it through the publicist’s account. I wish all celebrities with rabid fan bases would do this.

I said capitalism. I am speaking of the system/ideology regarding capitalism as a whole, not individuals, case-by-case. But please, do elaborate (rather than attacking my point without a follow up) on how capitalism's fundamental nature can be reconciled with progressivism? At one point the inherent contradictions…

I told my daughters and I tell my students the reason to go to college is not to get a good job, but to finish growing up to be the person you want to be for the rest of your life. I tell them to choose a college based on the kind of people they’ll meet there, the kind of activities they will participate in there, the…

Some people really do seem to think invoking ‘family’ should be a valid excuse for all kinds of barbaric acts of inhumanity. Kings: I murdered to protect the monarchy. Never mind the families of dead peasants he’d rule. Thieves: Gotta feed my family - by stealing whatever valuables I can find from your families. You…

“...to remove a low-paying tenant...”

There are days I am pleased to have a comment called out by the staff. Today is not one of them.

A lot of OTHER people would see ‘daughter graduating law school’ and assume that the parent landlords are making room for their child to launch her life when it’s really just the landlords, and their LAWYER DAUGHTER perusing that Rent Stabilization contract with a fine-tooth comb, finding the rule and using it as an…

I’m pretty sure she’s a shitty wealthy person just like her parents.

There is absolutely zero room for another side to this story! As a human being, some things should not be accepted. Some things should be universal. This is not a financial issue, this is a moral issue. It doesn’t matter if I or my child was homeless and had to sleep on the floor in friends apartments. That apartment…

Yes!  If the daughter is that broke, move her back into your house so you can keep collecting rent from the little old lady.

This is a parenting fail. No “child” of mine would be comfortable enough with the situation to move into a home that a centenarian had been evicted from just to accommodate them, particularly someone graduating with a law degree. No excuse, this is just foul.

He also owns a three unit apartment building, so there is that.

I wish there was an alternative to GoFundMe called GoFuckYou, where people donated to take down assholes that cause people to have to seek help via GoFundMe campaigns.

Like being 102 years old and kicked out of her home? That’s a pretty awful personal problem. At least stacked up against a heartless landlord’s scion who can afford law school, getting a free house.

Soooooo, anyone wanna continue to defend capitalism- or do you still think "we just need to fix a few things" before we can have a system that is (somehow) based on the exploitation of labour while simultaneously ensuring all workers are equal? 

Right! Put her in the spare room if she can’t afford a place.

The landlord replied by saying, “Would you take care of your child?”
