AMUSEMENT PARK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
Amusement Parks and Theme Parks are becoming increasingly popular, with more springing up every day all over the country. There is pressure to make the rides more and more exciting to compete with other parks, they are creating “extreme rides” which are increasingly dangerous. When there are accidents at amusement parks, they are often claims for catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.

Some parks are safer than others. Common sense dictates that a more well-established high-end park is safer, and statistically, this is true. Traveling fairs are the most dangerous, and there is substantial wear and tear on the rides from setting them up and taking them down, and the quality and training of the staff is not as high. Disneyworld, Disneyland and Great Adventure have the highest standards.

THEORIES OF LIABILITY
Like all owners and operators of property, amusement parks are subject to premises liability, and are responsible for any dangerous conditions on their property. They are also liable for negligence for negligent hiring and training of their staff. A product liability claim can be made if it can be shown that even with inspection and maintenance the design of the ride was so poor that it is “inherently dangerous.” A wrongful death claim arises if the injuries sustained result in a fatality. These complicated intersections of law require an experienced amusement park accident attorney to navigate successfully to hold the responsible parties liable for their negligence.

Queens, Brooklyn, and the Geography of Resistance Art
Art movements are shaped by geography — not just aesthetics. For decades, Brooklyn functioned as New York’s shorthand for experimental political art. That reputation was earned. Poster workshops, print collectives, underground presses, and radical galleries played a real role in anti-war organizing, labor movements, and later global justice actions. But movements migrate. Queens is where political art now intersects most directly with lived conditions. It is where organizers, immigrants, students, workers, and artists share space without insulation. The art is less polished, less ironic, and more accountable to consequence. That shift mirrors global patterns. In cities worldwide, the most effective protest art emerges not from cultural centers, but from pressure points — places where policy [...]
Art Movements, Protest Lineage, and Why This Work Exists
Political art has never been ornamental. At its best, it has functioned as logistics, memory, and coordination — a parallel system of communication when official systems fail or turn hostile. From the hand-printed posters of the U.S. Civil Rights era, to anti-apartheid graphics in South Africa, to the silk-screened iconography of May ’68 in Paris, visual language has repeatedly done three things movements require:signal alignment, create cohesion, and make resistance visible at scale. In the 1950s and 1960s, civil rights organizers did not treat posters, buttons, and printed materials as accessories. They were how people recognized one another. How messages traveled when mass media refused to carry them. How collective identity took shape across neighborhoods [...]
EXECUTIVE–WORKER PAY ALIGNMENT ACT
SUMMARY Executive–Worker Pay Alignment Act The Executive–Worker Pay Alignment Act aligns increases in executive compensation with wage growth for workers at large employers. When a company increases total compensation for its highly paid executives, worker wages must increase by the same percentage during the same fiscal year. If executive compensation does not increase, the Act does not apply. The Act does not set wages, mandate bonuses, or cap executive pay outright. It targets a specific driver of wage disparity: raising executive pay while leaving workers out. Executive compensation is treated as a connected system, preventing evasion through re-labeling, new executive hires at higher rates, equity restructuring, or compensation paid through affiliates. PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE [...]
Executive Order – Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office (Speculative)
SUMMARY January 20, 2029 President Orders Enforcement and Recovery of Unlawful Self-Enrichment from Public Office Today, the President signed an Executive Order directing the identification, disclosure, and recovery of profits derived from the misuse of public office for personal enrichment. The Order affirms that federal officials have always held office as fiduciaries of the public, and that personal profits obtained through licensing, branding, naming rights, or similar arrangements tied to official authority were never lawful. The Order instructs federal agencies to enforce existing ethics, forfeiture, and unjust enrichment laws to recover improperly obtained funds for the public treasury. It clarifies ethical obligations long recognized in law and tradition, and restores the principle that public office [...]
Queens Is the New Brooklyn
Brooklyn used to be where artists went because it was cheap, flexible, and unpoliced. That version of Brooklyn is gone. What’s left is a real-estate brand with a cultural afterimage—galleries designed around sales, neighborhoods shaped by marketing decks, and an art scene that feels increasingly managed. Queens is where the work actually happens now. You can see it across the borough—in Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Astoria, and Long Island City—not because there’s a single “scene,” but because artists here are still allowed to work without being pushed into a look, a market, or a lane. Queens hasn’t flattened itself into a style. It doesn’t need to. That range showed up clearly at the Queens Says [...]
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Strenghtens the Movement
Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Builds the Movement Resist Flower™ began as an image, not a fundraising plan. A simple visual gesture: a flower that refuses to wilt. A form that looks gentle at first glance, then insists on staying. Over time, it became something more than an artwork. It became a shared symbol—one that people recognized, carried, wore, and returned to. And now, it has become one of the ways we are materially supporting the next march. This matters, because movements don’t run on inspiration alone. They require permits, printing, transportation, materials, accessibility accommodations, food for volunteers, sound systems, legal support, and contingency planning. None of that is glamorous, but all of [...]
