Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s deputy mayor for economic justice, Julie Su, speaks to Jacobin about her plans: “For too long, city hall policies have benefited the few but not the many in New York City.”

The NYC Economic Development Corporation has been a way for prior mayors to give city land, tax subsidies, and sweetheart bond-financings to companies. But now the EDC reports to @juliesulabor.bsky.social! Excited to see what happens. (And kudos to Liza for covering the grocery-stores issue well.)

I wrote about @juliesulabor.bsky.social and why it is significant that @mayor.nyc.gov has a deputy mayor for economic justice: jacobin.com/2026/05/mamd...

This is a good overview by @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social of what @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social fought for and won in his first NYC budget. Conditions may be much more favorable next year for taxing the rich to fund city services.

This summary of Zohran's budget by @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social is the snappiest & clearest I've seen jacobin.com/2026/05/nycb...

While supplies last! A magazine we can afford!

When young @sunraysunray.bsky.social started @jacobinmag.bsky.social old socialist heads doubted a socialist magazine would get very far. The kid was a Knicks fan, we reasoned, at least he's resilient. But the world has been changing! Take advantage of this May Day sale and subscribe today.

I wrote @jacobinmag.bsky.social on what’s happening in NYC: we are taxing some truly parasitic oligarchs who can definitely afford it! And we can do more jacobin.com/2026/04/zohr...

Today we're thinking of all the "experts" who, as recently as a month or two ago, said that data centers were here to stay, and that we should give up on fighting them and instead try to "make them sustainable." Never, ever listen to anyone who tells you that what you want isn't possible.

Somehow, Lee Zeldin hasn’t been perceived as an extremist. trib.al/5e5NUml Yet, he's cut billions from Biden-era climate grants, eviscerated pollution rules and enforcement capacity, and completely wiped out the legal basis of much climate regulation: the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding.

Extremely dangerous, efficient fascist.

"No other EPA head has ever done as much damage as he has, undoing climate progress and other environmental regulations."

Americans only see a small portion of the damage Trump and his people are causing. Like cockroaches scuttling around in the dark, people like Zeldin are quietly taking apart our government at the direction of oligarchs and CEOs.

In contrast to the plastic visage of Kristi Noem, you probably can’t picture Zeldin’s forgettable face. It’s also hard to recall any memorable utterances from him. But the EPA administrator’s blandness has provided cover for the most destructive reign since the agency’s creation. trib.al/GMfq5cR

Zeldin is human garbage who, like everyone else in this criminally corrupt admin is responsible for suffering and death. open.substack.com/pub/bomdia/p...

Let's all amplify this great Liza Featherstone piece on how EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's quiet ghoulishness will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2089...

We can't afford to ignore Lee Zeldin: he has cut $3 billion in environmental justice grants, and under his leadership, the EPA has pursued or completed 54% of the recommendations for the agency in Project 2025. A must-read by @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social

"He was just as forgettable as usual. But this average-looking fortysomething lawyer was greeted like a K-pop star at the climate deniers’ conference because he has delivered for them beyond their wildest dreams," I wrote about Lee Zeldin @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2089...

In his first one hundred days as mayor, Zohran Mamdani has realized that New Yorkers — and all Americans — need to see the government working for them.

“Like so much else emanating from @washingtonpost.com, these words represent the grisly death rattle of a dying order” newrepublic.com/article/2083...

Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to tax the superrich to fund universal childcare and other urgent working-class needs. The oligarchic city council Speaker Julie Menin is trying to block his agenda.

New York City's leadership needs to unite for the good of the city -- but oligarch Speaker Julie Menin is standing in the way: jacobin.com/2026/03/meni...

Speaker Julie Menin, I wrote @jacobinmag.bsky.social, is a class warrior for her own class: the ultra-wealthy: jacobin.com/2026/03/meni...

It seems fitting that Trump, a creature of the 80s, is bringing back the most hellish features of that decade: newrepublic.com/article/2077...

re: jobs, among everything that needs coverage, for people starting their work lives, it feels like an impossible labor market to break into. Impossible for everyone, but with less work experience or start of work shaped by the start of the pandemic, there's a LOT impacting young workers right now.

just look at this grotesque warmonger! for @jacobinmag.bsky.social I wrote this week on why Chuck Schumer is even worse than you think -- and why it's time for him to exit the stage: jacobin.com/2026/03/schu...

GOOD RIDDANCE, Kristi Noem. 👋

Seems like more people in Epstein's orbit have been held accountable for writing emails to Epstein than for actually assaulting women

Last week, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency—when will they rename it?—rolled back Biden-era limits on the amount of mercury pollution that coal plants can emit. It will disproportionately harm his own voters. trib.al/oRLbkmI

Merchant’s piece on the politics of AI goes perfectly with @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social’s recent piece on the politics of data centers. newrepublic.com/article/2066...

Labor's electoral realignment with the Left is an essential condition for transforming government into a force of, by, and for the many. This realignment is emerging via @claireforny.bsky.social's campaign—and she's not even an incumbent. I'm telling you: this is a big opportunity. Let us seize it.

DOCTOR Rümeysa Öztürk has earned her PhD!!

This administration felt a need to interrupt its virtually nonstop death drive to reassure Americans it would "force” companies to absorb the cost of data centers. That means the mass revolt against AI data centers is working. trib.al/mBIaQda

What if people aren't apathetic? What if they just want something to DO? Insightful stuff from @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social about the data center backlash and the mechanisms of political change.

@lizafeatherstone.bsky.social: Climate movement in retreat? The growing community pushback against data centers shows that "when it comes to energy and climate issues, people will act when there are immediate local effects."

Many thanks to @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social for a thoughtful, critical review of my new book, “Who’s Got the Power?: The Resurgence of American Unions.” Please read it! (I really thought I’d avoided any major howlers in the book, but she catches a doozy.) democracyjournal.org/magazine/79/...

Violence against protesters is a sign of a regime's crumbling legitimacy, a couple experts told me last week. here's the piece @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2059...

congrats to these tenants!!

great piece, thank you!

“I want tenants 2 know that if they come together& if they get organized& if they form a union…the @mayor.nyc.gov has their back, & that we will be partners w you in enforcing your rights 2 safe, inhabitable housing & to collective community control over your homes.” @ceaweaver.bsky.social @wbai.org

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

Literally all of this is a lie. We are about to find out who is state media, because they will be the ones to parrot a justification for state-sanctioned murder.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

In some countries the outbreak of bloodshed inspires the opposition party to call for the leader to resign
