Making hijra to nyc is wildd but that city is still gona see me

You live long enough to see America elect a white supremacist criminal President and then follow it up with a Muslim American mayor of NYC.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

A New Yorker cover shouldn’t make me feel like this, but here it is, making me feel like this

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Al-Sharif killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on tent housing journalists outside al-Shifa hospital.

Palestinians in West Bank are unable to mourn 31-year-old Awdah, while the Israeli settler who shot him walks free.

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales. This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide. We are doing this and history will never forgive us. Gaza:

Muslim groups in Florida are pressing for an investigation of a Florida-born man who was killed in the West Bank, reportedly in a clash with Israeli settlers.

Wait until NYT finds out there are people from India who grew up in the Carribbean / South America

Correct. The common tactic we can see in the last ten years is that mixed-race politicians who claim Black international/ or African heritage are "not really Black" -- so as to dissuade Black Americans from supporting them. See Obama, Harris, Mamdani. Clockwork. Nasty work.

For the record! A lot of us first-generation people dont fit into those dumb racial category boxes! I identify as Black *and* West-African, and Nigerian/Ghanaian-American!

And if you don't know who in your community is working to help your immigrant neighbors, today is the day to learn.

US Treasury says it removed 518 Syrian individuals and entities from its list of sanctions after president’s decree.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

MURPHY: Do you think it was right to deploy Nat Guard to defend the Capitol on J6? HEGSETH: All I know is it's the right decision to be deploying the NG in LA M: So you do not support the decision to send NG to defend the Capitol. That speaks to the worry many have that there's a double standard

"Trump has claimed — though he has no authority to do so — to have repealed birthright citizenship, which was embedded in the Constitution at the end of slavery to guarantee Black Americans citizenship by birthright and grants automatic citizenship to all people born on American soil."

Here are the key events on day 1,221 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Mahmoud Khalil going back to protesting at Columbia, after being detained and held in custody for 100 days, is the definition of bravery.

We are not at war with Iraq, we're simply at war with the non-existent mobile laboratories that have weapons of mass destruction. We're not at war with Afghanistan, we're simply at war with the caves and mountains. T

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

dreamy moments from southern Italy on film 📸 🌋 🍋 🇮🇹 pompeii, amalfi, capri • //still can’t believe that I swam in open waters :))

Bibi Netanyahu, in 2002, urging the US to invade Iraq: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region." The US listened then, and we saw what happened. 23 years later, here we are.

Curious if Karine Jean-Pierre’s book will address her role in the Biden admin, when she stood ten toes down for him without hesitation. All good and well that she wants to rebrand as some independent voice, but let’s not act like she wasn’t part of the chaos.

nature abhors a vacuum

Jordan Peterson was humiliated when he left his safe space, the same thing happened to Charlie Kirk. The more these people are challenged, the more they are exposed. This is why they rarely venture out of the right-wing bubble.

A heated exchange between Van Hollen and Rubio: "Writing an op ed to the Tufts newspaper is disrupting the foreign policy of the US? That's pathetic, Mr. Secretary."

Michael Ledeen, one of the leading neocon pushers of the illegal Iraq invasion has passed away. He infamously said: “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.”

currently reading Techno-Feudalism by @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social — Varoufakis’s father watched iron “melt into air” with awe—not as a technophile or technophobe, but as someone who saw duality in all things. If light can be both wave and particle, tech can be both liberator and oppressor.

I'm embarrassed for the New York Times that they published this piece on Ms. Rachel, in which they cite a ridiculous anonymous righwing website Stopantisemitism while indulging the mad, mad claim she may be funded by Hamas (!). This isn't journalism:

blind allegiance to a leader turns ‘moral’ warriors into arsonists—burning themselves with the very torch they swore to carry for their people. people will always fall short. except those who preceded us, stood for what’s right —guided by principles and the fear of God. they were the best of people.

The US should not even consider forcibly transferring migrants to Libya, where inhumane detention conditions are well-documented, including torture, ill-treatment, sexual assault, and unlawful killings: www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

The Trump administration may be poised to deport an unknown number of detained migrants to Libya. The US should not forcibly transfer migrants to Libya, where inhumane detention conditions are well-documented. Read more: bit.ly/3GNqP8Q

Syrians are celebrating Trump's decision to lift US sanctions, hoping it will help revive the economy after more than a decade of war. Here's all you need to know aje.io/6534p2

In Riyadh, US president focuses on business, shifting from Biden’s policy that prioritised Saudi Arabian-Israeli ties.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

forward.com/fast-forward... he’s mad that the congressional food court will now have Chicken Tikka Roll and that’s now akin to Salahudins liberation of Jerusalem. I want to screammmm

NEW: Jordanian authorities have forcibly evicted and demolished homes and shops in an informal Palestinian refugee camp in Amman. This was done without adequate consultation, notice, compensation process, relocation help, or means of redress. Read more:

Six men who prosecutors said took part in forcibly removing a woman from a town-hall meeting hosted by local Republicans in Coeur d’Alene, a small city in northern Idaho, in February are facing charges including battery and false imprisonment.

(liberal voice) i actually AGREE with leftists on 90% of the issues, i just think that all those issues are not important whatsoever and should be compromised on as much as possible

Syria’s ousted dictator, Bashar al-Assad, unleashed a sarin gas strike on the suburbs of Damascus in 2013, killing at least 1,500 people. Now, the survivors want justice.

Great headline www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/a...

As much as I despise Murray, simply having an English degree doesn’t disqualify someone from participating in meaningful dialogue—as long as they’re informed on the subject at hand. Murray has the insight of a brick, so no one should seek his opinion on anything related to the Middle East.

In spite of a prolonged charm offensive by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Trump said that Britain would be hit with the universal base rate levied on all countries. He imposed his basic tariff of 10% on Britain, while hitting the EU with 20%.

This is a transnational movement that surpasses ethnicity, nationalities, and borders. As the global dominance of Starbucks and McDonald's diminishes, we should now understand how much influence a single sensible individual has. We must not underestimate our collective power.

I don’t get why people think resistance is suppose to cute, calm and convenient. boycott fatigue?? I’m sorry babe is a Starbucks frappe so difficult for you not to buy even when children are being blown to pieces…
