“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

Corporate journalism must change or die. The first changes need to be small—or change won't start at all. A good first step: correctly report that Mamdani is a democratic socialist and REFUSE TO PUBLISH any claim that he's a Socialist or Communist because that's false and therefore not newsworthy.

Zohran translated his campaign materials to Yiddish, he went to seders, synagogues, explained his critique of Israel’s government’s actions over and over. Painting him and anyone who stands for a free Palestine as antisemitic will never not be delusional and a moral stain on the Jewish community.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Gift article with some jaw-dropping insights from Rebecca Kirszner Katz — including this: "national Democrats — with the help of Trump donors — came together to try to stop him by funneling $25 million into a pro-Cuomo PAC." The Democratic Party’s capacity for self-sabotage is truly maddening.

Shout out to Brad Lander who I got to know from progressive organizing in the beforetime. Who turned the comptroller into an office that boldly led on climate and living out our progressive values. Who got a lot of pressure to do the wrong thing but always stood strong to our values even to the end.
