Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Cuomo's entire campaign is about fear, division, and business as usual.

Zohran, on the other hand, is bringing communities together around shared material needs and the belief that we deserve better.

Jewish New Yorkers aren't conflicted about supporting Zohran — we're running to the polls for him.

Cuomo: "When I left office ..."

Sliwa: "Andrew, you didn't leave—you fled!"

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained.

New Yorkers are ready for change.

Watch the Final Debate for NYC Mayor Here Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa face off one last time Wednesday in a debate hosted by NY1, WNYC and THE CITY.

In my piece on Muslim American Workers, I note how US social movements particularly labor fail to see Muslim community in terms of their economic demands. We are seeing this in the civic space. scholarship.law.slu.edu/lj/vol69/iss...

NYC working-class Muslims see progress in Mamdani, but policies win votes History-making run met with pride, prejudice, but many Muslim New Yorkers more focused on message of affordability.

In the Mayoral election and support for Mamdani, for Muslims, it is more about rent than religion underscores my long standing work on Islam and Economic Justice www.aljazeera.com/news/longfor...

Illinois Asks Supreme Court to Reject Trump’s Appeal of Order Blocking National Guard Deployment Attorneys for the state of Illinois on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a request by the Trump administration to allow the immediate deployment of 700 National Guard troops into Chicago.

Lawyers for Illinois and Chicago called on the Supreme Court to deny the administration’s “dramatic step of permitting deployment of National Guard troops over Illinois’s objection.” @wttw.bsky.social

Meanwhile, around the corner, people are sleeping on the street, nowhere else to go, as Trump cuts funding for homeless people

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

Mr. Mamdani must find common ground with the police to avoid the tensions that plagued Mr. de Blasio, said Mitchell Moss, a professor of urban policy at New York University. Mr. de Blasio tried to bring changes to the department, but he angered the rank and file. He defended a staffer who had ridiculed the police on social media and gave a speech describing how he had warned his biracial son that he could have problems with the police. The tension culminated in a painfully public protest in 2015 by officers who turned their backs on Mr. de Blasio at a police funeral. “You can’t be mayor of New York without having the support of the Police Department,” Professor Moss said. “De Blasio never recovered from the loss of respect police gave him.” Mr. de Blasio balanced calls for reform with his choice for commissioner: William Bratton, a well-established leader whose experience running the department in the 1990s comforted many police unions.

This is such a terrible and anti-democratic idea. The mayor of NYC should not need the support of the NYPD. There are pragmatic reasons why the mayor needs to have a working relationship with the police, but the NYPD doesn't get a veto over what voters want. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/n...

"The philosopher’s vision of Bengal—multicultural, democratic, environmentally sustainable—offers an alternative to both Hindu nationalism and Islamic fundamentalism. This idea of the philosopher is one that is loathed by both Hindutva and Islamist nationalists on either side of the border"
