I sat down with Peter Gelderloos to talk about his decades of work exposing the damaging impact that pacifist discourse has in resistance movements, stigmatizing people who fight back boldly. You can hear the whole interview wherever you listen to podcasts or watch the video on YouTube.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Use the power you have NOW. Don’t save it for some imaginary version of yourself in the future. Use it NOW.

🚨 6-year-old Yuanxin is missing after being separated by ICE agents from his father, Fei. Fei and Yuanxin — a Chinese family who came to New York to seek asylum — were kidnapped by ICE for a third time during what was supposed to be a routine check-in appointment at 26 Federal Plaza. 🧵⬇️

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

So much performative pearl clutching 🙄

None of this is new. In 2021, Israel blew up the Associated Press building in Gaza. In the past 2 years, Israel has killed 200+ journalists. The journalists: Hussam al-Masri w/ Reuters, Mohammed Salama w/ Al Jazeera, Mariam Abu Daqqa w/ Associated Press, Moaz Abu Taha w/ NBC, and Ahmad Abu Aziz.

“The future is being rehearsed in Gaza, in the sense of states being able to deploy massive violence without consequence.”

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” Ta-Nehisi Coates

Mamdani on Cuomo: "I don't need to do much to make the governor appear extremely dislikable."

This day in history, an abuser resigned in disgrace. He will never hold such power again. We won’t let him.

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

“Zohran is where he is now is because of a working-class-led coalition…in which Asian Americans were in the middle, not on the outside or in between, from the beginning.“ Interview feat. CAAAV Voice’s ED Sasha W by @zentronix.bsky.social zentronix.substack.com/p/how-workin...

Was wondering how AAPI, & specifically Chinese, voted in the NYC primary. Mamdani reached out to orgs like CAAAV early on. “We focused on Chinatown, Sunset Park, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside, Woodside, and Jamaica. And in every single one of those neighborhoods, Zohran beat Cuomo handily”

How did #Zohran win? Working class and immigrant people. And working class Asian Americans were at the center, not on the outside or in between.  Burn the other hot takes. Here’s the real from Sasha Wijeyerante of @caaavvoice.bsky.social

“One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” - Omar El Akkad

“cuts could result in nearly 12 million people losing health coverage” This bill is truly murderous, disgusting, greedy and racist.

MSNBC and other supposedly liberal media sounds just like Fox News when they interview or talk about Zohran Mamdani—red scare, Islamophobic, racist tropes, and hysteria.

Do we want a public transit + bus mayor—or one who runs red lights? As governor, #AndrewCuomo ran the MTA...into the ground: 📉 On-time trains ⬇️ to 65%, lowest since 1970s 💸 Cuomo ✂️ ~$400M from MTA 👹 2017 "Summer of Hell" delays, derailment & more NYers decide: now through June 24. #DontRankCuomo!

DON’T RANK CORRUPT CUOMO 👇 Rank these 5 excellent candidates instead!

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

"Andrew, you admitted at the time that you called a 25-year-old staffer into your office and asked her questions about whether she had older partners and whether she was available, and intimated that you were looking for a partner."

A review by THE CITY of court documents involving the most sprawling harassment suit that emerged against former Governor Andrew Cuomo paints a striking picture of how intensely his legal team has come after any woman he sees as part of his downfall.

"A review by @thecity.nyc of [the harassment suit(s)] that emerged against Cuomo paints a picture of how intensely his legal defense has come after any woman he sees as part of his downfall. & taxpayers have footed the bill, to the tune of $19M & counting." www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

We're now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.

Hats off to Maya Lau for holding power to account here. “If LASD’s actions are left unredressed,” according to the complaint, “journalists in Los Angeles will be chilled from reporting on matters of public concern out of fear that they will be investigated and prosecuted.”
