🚨I've seen enough 🚨
Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo.
We are witnessing political history before our eyes.
nyc swung right in the presidential election but just nominated a Muslim socialist for mayor. this country isn't getting more rightwing, people are just fed up with cowards who don't stand for anything or care about making anyone's life better
“One thing Musk does not control is Wikipedia. Although the site is far from perfect, it remains a place where, unlike much of the internet, facts still matter.”
Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

For people saying Elon is trustworthy and USAID is bad, do you guys remember Elon's "we will coup whoever we want. deal with it" statement over the 2019 coup in Lithium-rich Bolivia that he was poised to benefit from?
Even if USAID is completely dismantled, that certainly does not mean that regime change ops will stop. Oligarchs can just fund them directly, they largely control the controversial NGOs that USAID funded anyway.
Sorry for "raining on the parade" but handing over major govt ops to intelligence and military-linked oligarchs is unlikely to be the "win" against the "deep state" you think it is. It is ultimately a deeper centralization of power and historically that doesn't end well.
Here’s a very helpful resource with NYC voting data from last night compared with the last two election cycles. You can go block by block to see how your block voted. My block in Brooklyn went from blue to red last night. https://t.co/4TIlz8UabV
What is good scholarship to read on diaspora communities holding "progressive" views in their new home countries while perpetuating the most fascist views in their countries they immigrated from?
Imagine explaining to someone who doesn't watch football that we kind of have no idea if the most successful team of the modern era are even any good or not.
If you're following Columbia, turn on WKCR right now-- it seems like the cops are cordoning off even public streets and there are no legal observers allowed in, but NYPD counterterrorism units are massing. Listening to the police state prepare to pounce in real time, ghastly.
I gave away all my copies of Braiding Sweetgrass in 2021+stopped teaching it because I realized that if an Indigenous sister builds a body of work without fulsome acknowledgment of Critical Indigenous Studies and the 4th World, it’s for a settler audience, not for transformation.
using the palestinian national liberation struggle to remediate the prestige of diaspora seems pretty opportunist—we complain abt diaspora writers bc they often pimp out their peoples histories while refusing commitment to any real rev political program.
So shameful that hardly any football outlet or writer has talked about all the Palestinian players who have been maimed and killed, and how the occupation has shaped their national team, or the diaspora of Palestinian players.
