"The pushback against Republican leadership, that's the thread common to all the victories from coast to coast, north to south, be it federal, be it state, be it mayoral races, school board races, referendums, you name it, the voters came out and voted against Republicans" - @pamkeithdc.bsky.social

New York’s new Mayor Zohran Mamdani praises Scotland’s Baby Box scheme - introduced by the SNP Scottish Government, & says he wasnts to do the same in New York City. x.com/scotland/sta...

"Zohran Mamdani will be the first mayor of New York City in decades not to own a car" Will be exciting to see if he can implement his vision to pedestrianize areas in the congestion pricing zone and dedicate entire streets as combo busways + active transportation

The election of Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor has exposed a gulf between the younger and older generations of American Jews. I made this zine to explore a significant part of that divide. 1/2

Indian Illinois Department of Transportation employee stopped by ICE agents, questioned if he was 'aware' of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

I missed the bit about Musk wistfully ‘handing it to’ Zohran Mamdani for being able to ‘light up a stage,’ Musk is clearly not going to forget being booed on stage at Dave Chapelle’a show Good. I hope it eats him alive. Anyway, let this feed my tanks of petty hate this am.

My latest @theguardian.com: As a genuine soccer fan & generational political talent, freshly elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani might be able to achieve the unthinkable: force the FIFA behemoth to share its lucre by targeting its tax exemptions & extreme privilege www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The real reasons why the elite parasites that we refer to as “wealthy” are scared of “socialists” like Zohran Mamdani taking office isn’t because of the fear of a 2% tax increase. Although, we know they truly do hate having to pay their fair share, the greedy cockroaches. What’s scares them is this🧵

Your Saturday morning read. “Brandon Johnson and the grassroots coalition of organizers who elected him say it’s time for the wealthy to pay their fair share, a sentiment echoing throughout America and emphasized by the Nov. 4 mayoral election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani.”

2 in 3 Americans are “one paycheck away from homelessness” And in Utah they’re building a concentration camp for unhoused people Modeled after Alligator Auschwitz and serving as a test case for the criminalization and disappearance of poverty Caused by the very same government that ended SNAP.

In the midst of forced famine and war, we find the efforts of mutual aid groups and resistance organizations in civil society that have made life possible. We talk about the Sudanese Solidarity Collective, which provides a vital conduit of aid to Sudan from its diasporic communities and others.

NOW: A small group of protesters briefly blockaded the entrance to the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin to demand shareholders reject a $1T pay package for the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. The blockade dispersed after a Travis Co. Sheriff threatened to arrest protesters without any official warning.

The DC Sandwich Thrower''s trial started today. His lawyers say it's retaliation since the CBP agent hit with the sandwich was not injured. The federal agent who shot Rev. David Black with a pepper ball at point-blank range faces zero charges. A sandwich gets more accountability than a cop.

Today’s high school writing club was… chaotic. So much energy, and not much focus. And that is okay. Sometimes a writer’s mind is buzzing, and trying to move the bees into orderly rows doesn’t work. We worked on capturing ideas and concepts: building blocks for tomorrow. (1/2)

Winsome Earle-Sears defended Trump's policies that are hostile to immigrants and rollbacks to DEI initiatives. We noticed. She lost because she threw Black people under the white supremacy bus just to get a seat on it. 🔥☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Donald Trump wants to starve the American people. He plans to defy the court order requiring him to release the funds for SNAP. Just another act proving that Donald Trump doesn’t care about you!

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

I unpacked the implications of Nick Fuentes' collaboration with Tucker Carlson and the former Fox News host's willingness to portray the white nationalist livestreamer as a victim. Someone wants him in the mainstream. Why? And what does it mean? postsfromunderground.ghost.io/on-tucker-ca...

❤️ Bobby lives in Utah where he is forced to pay co-payments for CKD. But now that he's here at UCLA, he is only required to pay for his housing, food and some expenses. Bobby's surgery is coming up this Thursday but his expenses are $300/day. Can 10 generous people chip in $15, $25, $50 or more?

“Diversity is our strength, but it can also be a weakness.” - Andrew Cuomo So basically, Cuomo is running as a moderate Republican with a lot of extra baggage. Mamdani will win by a wide margin on Tuesday, and there should be no surprise as to why.

Fellow DMV residents: here's a local, secular, longstanding, high-impact 501(c) #foodbank you can donate to: nourishnow.org

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Most folks don't know this but Syracuse, NY has the highest child poverty rate in the country at 46%. Poverty and hunger are not only issues in the South. The CNY Food bank can offer 30 meals with just $10. I made my donation. Hopefully you can, too 💜 foodbankcny.org

It's always nice when a physical book copy hits your hands, especially when your work is alongside so many great scholars' contributions. www.routledge.com/Contemporary... (Given the date, I was tempted to wear my vampire teeth, but that, uh, seemed like a mixed message)

Noelle is extraordinary, and this book is essential 🤍

So much of what’s wrong with our society is grounded in anti-Blackness—the governing ideology of this thing we’ve called democracy.
