“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Assata Shakur

If you're looking for a group to support in honor of Assata's passing, Assata's Daughters is a great one. They are a queer Black woman-led and youth-focused organization rooted in the Black Radical Tradition in Chicago: www.assatasdaughters.org

“You died. I cried. And kept on getting up. A little slower. And a lot more deadly.” Rest in Power and Thank You

Assata Shakur, of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, has died at the age of 78 in Cuba, where she received political asylum in 1984.

Really happy to see Mamdani planning to send baby baskets to new parents. When I lived in Scotland, every new parent got a baby basket with a few helpful basics from the Sturgeon administration. It didn't cost taxpayers much, it was wildly popular, and it built up a ton of goodwill among voters.

I was with a friend last night and I was talking about the sound and style of rave music I like and this friend was like “it’s such a surprising thing about you that you actually care about this stuff” and listen, I’m in my club rat era.

This story builds in no small part on the incredible reporting of @thecity.nyc. A lot of what we know about the corrupt practices of Eric Adams' cronies is due to them.
