Still find it insane that in the days following October 7th we were made to believe we had to sympathize with people living outside of and even holding music festivals next to a concentration camp.

Zohran Mamdani claimed he'd "govern as a democratic socialist", but when it comes to policing, he's a centrist at best. He treats the NYPD's budget as sacrosanct, & he even refuses to ever directly criticize the NYPD or even individual cops.
the fact that he was moved to reverse his promise because of rightwing fanatical journalism is pretty bad. no, doing sweeps would not have saved the lives of those homeless individuals who died during the storm. no these sweeps he is enacting won't be different or more humane.
Actually this is a lie. He doesn't have to balance the budget on the backs of working people. NYC can find $10+ billion in spare change by simply... not building the borough based jails. He can find billions of dollars PER YEAR by cutting the NYPD budget.
And this is why you don't default to praising the cops when they shoot your constituents. (DRUM, which is relaying this statement from the family of the person who was shot, was a Day 1 supporter of Mamdani and is an integral part of his coalition): https://t.co/XG98bQAby0
NYPD shot a 22 year old, racially profiled his family, confiscated their phones, detained them, & didn’t let them see him after they shot him.
Mamdani shortly after said that they had done a good job. If that’s your progressive politician, god help us.
You 🫵🏼 opened up to journalists being silenced here when you covered up for “Israel” killing Palestinian journalists in Gaza. What you facilitate, gets done to you.
There are so many good things to say about No Other Choice, but the most noticeable and obvious for me is the lighting. It makes every shot feel warm, intimate and alive, but also picturesque and expressive, like a painting.
white ppl & middle class poc are gonna do all they can to convince themselves/others that if we can just get the right democrats into office things will be better. they're wrong. this is the way shit has been trending my entire life. they been laying the foundation across decades
1) israel isn't a real country, it is a genocidal apartheid on stolen land. A person who calls themself 'israeli' implies they recognise it as a legitimate country
2)they could call themselves whatever nationality they were before they came to steal land tf are you talking about
