"If a socialist can wrest power from the servants of oligarchy in the financial capital of the world — well, my friends around this country, around this world, what can you do to take the power back from them where you live?"

Semi-relatedly, this 2013 interview by my colleague Bhakti Shringarpure with Mahmood Mamdani is wonderful and well worth your time www.warscapes.com/conversation...

Opened up Instagram this morning and was immediately shown three Mamdani clips: delightful to see, disturbing to be so seen by the algorithm, richly deserved given how closely I was following from one state over.

Shout out to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who put it all on the line four and a half years ago and then was hitting the pavement hard since Cuomo got in the race and through today. A portrait in bravery.

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

“We are the most housing-constrained state in the nation. It's not only hurting families and individuals in all kinds of ways, but it is also really hurting our economy. It is absolutely a crisis, and we have to do something about it as we move forward.” www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-06...

I am not exaggerating when I say the Supreme Court’s unsigned, unexplained order yesterday is the worst thing it has done since Trump returned to office. And not just on the merits—it’s also an unfathomably dangerous green light for Trump to flout lower court orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Absolute pathetic governor we have in Connecticut. His veto rested on "Towns are trying really hard, I need to give them more time" I'm sorry, the data just doesn't support anything the Governor is saying. We cannot permit our way out of a 400k home shortage without changing anything

Connecticut's HB 5002 would have banned minimum parking requirements for some projects, allowed some commercial-to-residential conversions without public hearings, prioritized infrastructure funding to areas zones for high density near transit, and required towns to plan for future housing growth.

It's sort of astonishing that someone can spend decades running businesses, even incompetently, and still have this child's concept of how economics works.

I’m old enough to remember when a black president had the vision to “pivot to Asia,” and even negotiated a Trans-Pacific Partnership real trade agreement ready for signature, TO DO JUST THIS: ISOLATE CHINA — and then both candidates to succeed him repudiated it.

Can confirm as someone who had to live through this. After Cuomo's resignation, it was as if a great weight had been lifted from CUNY.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

It’s worth articulating why they’re afraid of Zohran or Lander being a good mayor - an outsider in city hall is a direct threat to the patronage and influence networks they’ve spent decades cultivating, and a direct threat to their power in the city.
