Four Lessons for Canada’s NDP from the NYC Mayoral Race | The Tyee Zohran Mamdani didn’t just win votes. He made people feel seen.

Speak plainly. Organize. Show up.

After their worst-ever results in the 2025 federal election, here’s what the NDP can learn from Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in New York City — which he officially won last night.

From July 2025. #canpoli #uspoli #ZohranMamdani

Who ya gonna call?

New Orr Report is out!

ANNOUNCING: Friendship Traces is a surprising instrumental collaboration from YCR label-mates Steven Lambke and Jimmie Kilpatrick: a post-dub, post-minimilist, post-guitar, post-mixtape playground of bespoke drum samples, melodica, and distorted bass.

Amethyst, by Apollo Ghosts 7 track album

Uhhhhh, I forgot how good this Amethyst EP from Apollo Ghosts was. I will not make that same mistake again! Lots of power poppy, jangly 90s indie rock rippers.

Ghosts tour Germany!
