#CounterVortex podcast argues that Mamdani's election heightens the contradictions in American society in a salubrious way. Yet his pledge to destroy Manhattan's Elizabeth St Garden points to contradictions in Mamdani's own politics. Listen (& support) on #Patreon... www.patreon.com/posts/nyc-tu...

Fortunately, they have now been released, but it was not at all clear that they would be when they were sent to the CECOT for indefinite detention, without charge or conviction. I don't think people apprehend how close we are to Nazi-like levels of evil... countervortex.org/blog/deporte...

The #CounterVortex podcast offers its take on the #ZohranMamdani victory. Paradoxically, it is the threat of #MAGA backlash that could keep Zohran true to his progressive and working class base. Listen (and support us!) on #Patreon... www.patreon.com/posts/nyc-tu...

#ZohranMamdani suffers from limitations that make him vulnerable to pressure from NYC's permanent government to betray his prole base. However, the #MAGA backlash to his mayoralty may help keep him true to that base. The #CounterVortex podcast breaks it down... countervortex.org/blog/podcast...

I can't get over how lucky we are that we elected the isolationist peacenik Trump and not that neocon war-monger Kamala. Can you imagine? countervortex.org/blog/potenti...

It isn't just #Darfur. A second #ElFasher is unfolding at #Bara in #NorthKordofan state —to virtual silence from the outside world. countervortex.org/blog/sudan-a...

It was not just a blustering tweet this time, there is a bureaucratic process in motion. #Nigeria, #Venezuela.... while appeasing Russia and virtually finking out on #Article5? See a pattern here? Bullies never pick on someone their own size. countervortex.org/blog/trump-t...

Throughout the siege of #ElFasher, rights observers warned the city faced a general massacre when it fell to the Rapid Support Forces ( #RSF ). Amid the foretold massacre, calls now mount for #BDS against the #UAE, apparent underwriter of the genocidal RSF. countervortex.org/blog/podcast...

I can't believe how little attention this is getting. The REAL double standard about #genocide is very helpful to Israel and its propagandists. The deeper the silence about #Darfur, the happier Bibi Netanyahu is. countervortex.org/blog/sudan-m...

I'm jealous that they got to him first.

I'm old enough to remember when #Sandinista #Nicaragua was looked to as a hopeful example for the world, and US-backed right-wing dictatorships in Latin America were carrying out "dirty wars." #ThroughTheLookingGlass countervortex.org/blog/un-expe...

So this is happening.... Amid (premature, I fear) celebrations of the impending peace in Gaza. Trump wants to get the Nobel Peace Prize as he invades #Venezuela. That's really what he wants. And he may get it. countervortex.org/blog/trump-o...

Twenty years after the LAST #Darfur genocide, a perpetrator faces justice. But now the Darfur genocide is back on... and the world is barely paying attention. countervortex.org/blog/icc-con...

The OTHER place where Trump is hawking a "peace" plan, yet #genocide continues on the ground unabated. Yet this one is receiving dramatically less attention. A reversal of the situation 20 years ago, when #SaveDarfur was the popular activist cause. Why is that? countervortex.org/blog/sudan-r...
