Let's be clear—Mayor Mamdani did NOT revoke the office to combat antisemitism. He revoked former Mayor Adams' orders equating criticism of Israel as antisemitism & criminalizing peaceful boycott of Israel. He affirmed Jewish people have rights, States do not, & the 1A matters. That is leadership.

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Months of extrajudicial murder unpunished and now the drunk in charge of the Pentagon and the corpse in the White House are getting their feast of blood

100 stories about what Israel thinks, none about how MUSLIMS WHO LIVE IN NYC think about having a Muslim Mayor. Nothing to see here.

We don’t have a complete account of Donald Trump and his family’s finances. But a clear picture has emerged: enrichment of the First Family on a scale that is unprecedented in American history. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/wKHd1v

The shootings at Brown University and Bondi Beach were both mobilized to attack Palestinians. That’s no coincidence.

The stakes for the midterms are incredibly high. It’s the last chance for Democrats to hold Trump accountable at the national level before he leaves office (unless he attempts to follow through on his musings to seek an unconstitutional third term).

all i see here are fast and free buses

Sameer Project update about their Refaat Alareer camp: “We have nearly 500 students in our Hasan School on the grounds of the Refaat Alareer Camp…We recently expanded to accommodate additional students from the surrounding areas to offer quality education and an approved curriculum.”

A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News. Homicides in NYC... 1990: 2,262 1993: 1,927 1998: 629 2001: 649 2013: 335 2019: 320 2021: 488 2024: 382 2025 (as of 12/28): 302

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

"TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!"

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Partners in Health www.pih.org is the sort of org that does some of the work that USAID did (a raindrop in a storm in comparison but we need everything we can get). Fighting HIV, tuberculosis (which still kills over 1m a year!), reducing maternal mortality, and so on.

We have got to stop analyzing Trump's behaviour as if it is all in service of some "policy goal." It mostly is not. It is in the service of enriching himself and those who continue to support him. That's it. That is, in a nutshell, what all states are, but particularly the authoritarian type.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore's definition of racism gets at why it's not something that can be ignored: "the state-sanctioned and/or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death". --- THE PREMATURE DEATH part is not something that can be "ignored"

Did you know that a week before his 2019 arrest, Epstein emailed himself this list? www.jmail.world/thread/HOUSE...

“Of course, it could be an extraordinary coincidence that Epstein shared a penthouse with an Iran-Contra lawyer, worked for an Iran-Contra arms dealer, and then … moved the Iran-Contra planes to Ohio for use by billionaire retail mogul Leslie Wexner.”
