NEW: Over 100 economists/experts call to lift sanctions on Venezuela 🇻🇪, unfreeze its assets, and provide debt relief to allow it to rebuild and recover from the devastating June 24 earthquakes.

I like the new spin that Ritchie Torres is some tea leaf-reading master as opposed to being just very lucky wrt district demographics after being globally embarrassed by the adam friedland show

I've interviewed 20+ journalists about their experiences in mainstream newsrooms since the start of the genocide, but I'm looking to speak to at least that many more in the coming weeks. If you'd like to talk, email me on [email protected]

lifting this distinction from the opening of a great essay by @tobihaslett:

"He the ratty lapsed bourgeois; she the self-confessed arriviste. He the Left Bank rebel, she the provincial teacher who would move to a Paris suburb, the glassy “new town” of Cergy-Pontoise (she’s still there). One can imagine his denunciations: of her embrace by the French public, of her anointment by Gallimard, of the tight limits of her project (he called his own memoir Panegyric), and of her dutiful proximity to the parliamentary left—first as a supporter of the Socialists, and now, vocally, of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s La France Insoumise. And if it weren’t for Debord’s suicide in 1994, he might have lived long enough to shit on her Nobel Prize. (When Sartre refused the honor, the Lettrist International, an S.I. precursor, pronounced it a failure to have been chosen in the first place.)"

Classic case of blaming those who take a stand for the actions of those who oppose them.

Glad to see the guy who says that Trump threatening to defund universities unless they give him control over their staff and curricula was “BDS in reverse” has been elevated upward again

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Seeing lots of people argue that NYC isn't a bellwether on Palestine/Israel for the rest of the US bc it's uniquely progressive. But NYC is among the most demographically Zionist cities outside of Israel, not to mention the seat of reactionary establishment financial power. These wins are in spite of that.

As DSA deservingly gets their flowers for last night, we must also recognize the incredible organizing of DRUM Beats @DesisRisingUp — endorsed Mamdani on Day 1 & successfully backed 8 candidates, including @david4queens who won against a desi candidate in a desi majority district

[Jarod Facundo @dorajfacundo]

“Mamdani may have also done damage with some key Black and Latino leaders.”

You mean non-profit lifers, running husks of organizations, lacking the social base to elect their preferred candidates.

I really do think darializa is a breakthrough greater than AOC, just maybe. Symbolically she represents the total end of aipacs scam even in nyc. None of their smears worked in the end

what’s happening electorally in NYC is proof that the result of the 2024 presidential elections was not due to how strong the republicans were but how israeli the democrats were. Lose AIPAC or lose everyone
