here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

[Joe Motil A Mayor of the People and for the People @mojotil]

Claiming The Rooster " ambushes officeholders" is a bit over the top. Maybe if so called journalists in this city did their job and approached our elected officials with some of the same energy and vigor as DJ, it would help clean up and expose the never ending corruption at the statehouse, City Hall, and OSU.

Generative AI doesn’t run on magic. It runs on massive data pipelines built on privacy violations by design.

Our new @Amnesty report exposes how big tech’s AI systems are powered by surveillance, data extraction, and abuse of people’s rights, at scale.

We researched the models powering some of the most popular publicly available standalone generative AI tools, including GPT 3 by Open AI, Google’s Gemini, Meta’s Llama, DeepSeek and tools by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

This is not innovation at any cost. It comes at a high price: our human rights.

Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct assault on the promise of the Voting Rights Act. It risks disenfranchising millions of Americans along racial lines and weakening the very foundation of our democracy.

Democracy is not self-sustaining. We must build, preserve, and defend it together.

Here in New York City, we will always lead a government of, by, and for the people — all of the people.

@brhodes You know what, Ben? Since the Obama admin bombed an Afghan hospital, burned dozens of patients alive in their beds, lied about it repeatedly, blocked an independent investigation, then gave the killers a slap on the wrist, maybe you're not really in a position to get moralistic.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I am outraged by the despicable, cowardly attacks against Muslim New Yorkers in Bay Ridge last week—one of which was on a 12-year-old girl. This violence is unacceptable, and we know that all too often visibly Muslim, hijab-wearing women and girls bear the brunt of it. 

Muslim New Yorkers deserve to live with safety and dignity, and to be able to walk our streets free from harassment, threats, or harm. Islamophobia has no place in our city, and violence or intimidation against Muslim New Yorkers is unacceptable.

Massive respect to @DropSiteNews. This is why supporting independent journalism is so critical right now.

Venezuela has nothing to do with OxyContin, the drug that Andrew Witkoff reportedly overdosed on and died from in 2011.

OxyContin was created, marketed, and aggressively pushed by Purdue Pharma, owned by the Sackler family. In the United States, over 500,000 people have died from opioid overdoses since 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Venezuela does not produce OxyContin, does not control its supply chain, and played no role in the Sackler-driven opioid epidemic.

The crisis was fueled by Purdue’s false claims about addiction risk and mass over-prescription by U.S. doctors. No member of the Sackler family faced criminal charges or prison time. In exchange for multibillion-dollar civil settlements, they secured broad legal immunity from future opioid lawsuits. No Sackler even admitted wrongdoing.

The unit that abducted President Nicolas Maduro was Delta Force, an organization filled with cokeheads and pervaded by drug trafficking. You can bet that the only narcotics involved were the ones that they were on

After racist attacks from Trump and the White House, Somali Americans are flipping the script by parodying pro-Israel talking points and joking that Minnesota was promised to them 3,000 years ago.

The death of Dick Cheney, who, like Kissinger before him, never spent a day in prison for massive crimes against humanity causing the destruction of whole countries and the deaths of millions, is a symbol of the impunity that is at the root of much of the violence in our world today. Trump, Biden, Netanyahu, and countless other ruthless criminals have so deeply absorbed this lesson that they have openly perpetrated a live-streamed genocide, confident that they will never be punished. It is the duty of all decent people, if we are not to sentence the world to generations of further horrors, to hold these blood-soaked monsters accountable.
