Zohran leads a RIDICULOUS pace for the Bus vs Pedestrian race on 34th St. God I love this town.

There's a billion things wrong here, but one of them is that Andrew Cuomo is so rich he thinks unhoused people can afford a $2300 a month apartment

this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”

I did an outdoor yoga class in a minneapolis park the other day. And my husband is, right now, playing softball in a Minneapolis park. My son is, right now, standing on dock fishing for northern pike, also in a Minneapolis park.

Stephen Miller doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Zohran Mamdani and Mahmoud Khalil Are in on the Joke What it feels like to laugh when the world expects you to disappear.

"I am not drawn to action only because people have suffered or are suffering; I am drawn to action because I am distinctly aware of every inch of humanity from which suffering keeps people." www.newyorker.com/news/essay/z...

In a just world, every one of these Democratic senators would be primaried - especially the hypocritical Cory Booker who is wisely trying to hide his face in this picture. (Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC, a far right authoritarian, and kills innocent Palestinians on a daily basis, including today!)

Columbia cancelled my course on race and media. But I’m teaching it to the people anyway.

Next Monday, July 14th is the first lecture of Race, Media and International Affairs 101, my independent course for @resistanceschool.bsky.social!

Sold out course! 500+ students enrolled.

We move! ✊🏾

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

a graph of NYC approval of congestion pricing rising from 27% to 50%

It's insane how much more popular NYC's congestion pricing got when it was implemented and people started actually seeing it work

Zohran Mamdani being a goddamn boss

35. From what you know about the situation in the Middle East, do your sympathies lie more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians? Dem Israelis - 12% Palestinians - 60% DK/NA - 29%

40. How serious a problem do you think that prejudice against Jewish people is in the United States today: a very serious problem, a somewhat serious problem, a not so serious problem, or not a problem at all? Dem Very serious - 36% Somewhat serious - 47% Not so serious - 12% Not at all - 3% DK/NA - 3%

A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 60% of Democrats sympathize more than Palestinians, while only 12% sympathize more with Israelis.

But the same poll also found that 83% of Democrats believe prejudice against Jews is a serious problem in the U.S.! poll.qu.edu/images/polli...

Mamdani never used this phrase. It's just a smear. It's frankly astonishing to me that Democratic House members allow this dullard to continue leading them.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

Q: So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase “globalize the intifada” and what we've seen as some anti-semitism coming from the left-wing protesters. A: The first thing as you were saying is anti-semitism is a real issue in our city and it's one that can be captured in statistics, the ones that you're citing. It's also one that you will feel in conversations you have with Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And I remember one conversation I had with a friend of mine after the horrific war crime of October 7th. He was telling me that he went for Shabbat services at his temple and he was facing forward when he heard the door open. And he turned back with a chill going up his spine because he didn't know who was coming in. And that's more than a year ago. And then just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a Jewish man in Williamsburg who told me that the same door he would keep unlocked for decades is one that he now locks out of a fear of what could happen in his own neighborhood. And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety. To the question of language that's being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to lead a country. And-

Q: Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globalizing intifada. And like the phrase from the river to the sea, does that make you uncomfortable? Or do you think- A: Okay, those are different. Those are super different. Q: They're not really. A: Those are like different genres. Q: I'm sorry, I'm asking so wrong. Then they're not really different to me. And to some people they are not different. A: I know people for whom those things mean very different things. And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what's difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word that means struggle. And as a Muslim man who grew up post-911, I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning. And I think that's where it leaves me with a sense that what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe. And the question of the permissibility of language is something that I haven't ventured.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

How Brad Lander Lost an Election but Became a National Inspiration The mayoral hopeful only finished third in the primary but garnered attention for his displays of courage and integrity.

What Lander’s derring-do shows is that you don’t have to file lawsuits or pass bills—you don’t even have to win elections—to play a vital role in the anti-Trump resistance. https://trib.al/tBDWjia

but what do you really think brad lander hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

Quite the UNH poll of Maine:

Governor Janet Mills' favorability is 51/41
Senator Susan Collins' is ... 14/57.

Among independents, Collins' favorability is a startling 8/60.

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

We can have nice things Zohran Mamdani proved you can fully embrace progressive values—and win.

New — I wrote about how Zohran Mamdani’s win shows the power of a positive vision for the future, New Yorkers’ rejection of fear-based politics, and provides a blueprint for progressive Jews and Muslims to create a multi-racial, multi-faith coalition that supports prosperity for all.

Read it here:

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.

LIKE I SAID

I’m at a gay bar in Brooklyn for a pro-Zohran watch party—I’ve been here approximately a million times on normal nights—and it’s NEVER been this packed

guys is this really happening?!?!

Welp.

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority.

And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy.

This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

Just went up in Scranton, PA

We asked for jobs, healthcare, respect, and affordable eggs - not vigilantes with masks and pointless wars.

But sure, tell us again how this is what we voted for.
