first few paragraphs

Comrade DeBlasio states that he would bravely act as a human shield to protect Chairman Mamdani from the fascistic forces that wish to crush our people’s revolution.

All jokes aside, pretty cool to see DeBlasio stepping up to support Zohran the way he has, even if it’s mostly due to the DeBlasio-Cuomo blood feud. Most based thing DeBlasio has done since supporting the Sandinistas

They’ll never implement this, ever again.

Burn it all down, libs. It's the only way.

Voters in the largest city in America are choosing a Democratic nominee for mayor via ranked-choice voting. The crowded field is led by former governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned from the state’s top office four years ago following sexual harassment allegations; state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, who snagged key endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York); Comptroller Brad Lander, who made headlines when he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an immigration hearing last week; and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.

This is a ranked-choice primary – only first-choice votes will be tabulated on election night. Final vote calculations will be released July 1 and updated weekly until all ballots are counted. Republican Curtis Sliwa is uncontested in his primary.

not a bit, a real thing, you're welcome

In a context of the reactionary administration of Trump and the pardoning of Eric Adams, radicalized New Yorkers are searching for alternatives from the Republicans, Democrats and a government for the rich. This search gives the Zohran Mamdani mayoral campaign its political momentum.

He’s the first Muslim mayoral candidate, a first-generation immigrant with youthful fire, a Democratic Socialist who publicly condemned the border tsar Tom Homan and is presenting a progressive program that includes rent freezes. However, under the Democratic Party, he’s not presenting a program of class struggle and movement building. That, along with other limitations, is why I won’t vote for him. I believe instead, we must take steps to build a political alternative from the Democrats; a party for the working class and oppressed that fights for socialism.

There are attacks on labor with the firing of federal employees. Conjoined attacks on education and the Pro-Palestine movement. Attacks on free speech as we’re forced to witness a genocide. Trump is escalating the attacks of a repressive onslaught started by the Democrats.

Love to see the Finns Party (nationalists) eat shit even in this minor election

”Of course this is a failure,” said [Finns] party leader Riikka Purra, who is also the Finance Minister. ”The numbers are terrible, and there's no explaining them away.”

dems are cookeder than any political party has been in america in two lifetimes

between this and the intra-day tariff chart, i don't know which is more ridiculous

Kind of going on an organization kick rn, and it’s actually pretty interesting on how back in the day, unions also served as community hubs similar to churches.

I want to go to a DSA meeting soon and see how I vibe, because as much as we may all lament the loss of community. I think it’s important for the left to learn how to build one, because the fascists most certainly have.

My Rep. is a total CHUD but I’m still going to write him. I’m not going to mention any ideology, but focus on the Mahmoud Khalil has not been accused of any actual crime, and the people who called for his detention (Shai Davidai etc.) are acting under the orders of a foreign power and are complete snowflakes.
