Zohran Mamdani is of Indian-origin. Yet, out of sheer Islamophobia, Hindu groups in NYC campaigned hard against him. Now he’s going to be Mayor and these groups lost a chance to have a friend in City Hall. The bigotry of Hindus is going to be their undoing in India and abroad.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!

@Scott_Wiener *Not the same activists—
I’m literally quoted in the article supporting the Marvel and affordable housing.

For almost all of us who fought against and defeated the Monster, it is about affordable housing.

A small, handful of people are opposing.

The average rent has tripled since 1990.

The salary you need to buy a home has gone up 80% in just the last 4 years.

This is the context in which criminalizing homelessness is now legal across the United States.

We don't want to use tax dollars to house people so now we're going to use tax dollars to put them in prison instead.

50% of young homeless people in SF are trans/queer (I was once one).

At the start of Pride weekend London Breed celebrating her expanded powers to sweep them into the trash.

“The voters of this nation are presented with a choice between a monstrous bloodthirsty psychopath, and a self-confessed braindead ignoramus. What will future generations think of us that we cannot present the public with better alternatives than these?”

these SF pols, all "pro housing" electeds or candidates (incl the charming woman holding the sign), helped Trump's SCOTUS criminalize homelessness. which is why I, & many others who ACTUALLY have to keep ppl from becoming homeless, think the term "pro housing" is total horseshit

“Carbon capture is a prohibitively expensive process that is not a viable climate solution. It does serve, however, to extend the life of the fossil fuel industry.”

You see this headline and you probably think they mean other people, not you.

But you're wrong. It's not just some vaguely imagined poor brown people in some desert or jungle who are gonna die from climate collapse. It's gonna be people like you and me.

Why? Capitalism.

if he doesn't drastically change course, Joe Biden won't be remembered for the IRA or the NLRB or the FTC, but as the guy who left one Middle East war just to start an even more apocalyptic one
