I would not be who I am today without the time I spent in Jamaica in 2007āit opened my eyes to imperialism and race and abolition and literally every form of music I've cared about since. I lived through a (lesser) hurricane on that trip, so it taught me about disasters and recovery too. Give cash.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
āWhat Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.ā

Aside from being stoked for all my NYC pals, I'm also happy that Mamdani offers another vision of the future. One that doesn't include Gavin fucking Newsom. Also please enjoy my photoshopping of an Aretha hat on our coyote (which was

They're shutting down every enclave of independent and critical thought in big media. From Vogue's announcement of its takeover: "Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people." In other words, teaching compliance

The reason it was so important to talk about how invading cities with the US military over nothing was a sign of weakness, not strength, was because they have basically no more steps on the escalation ladder. Everything they are calling for and threatening to do they've already basically done
