"I think for far too long we've tried not to lose, as opposed to figuring out how to win."
-- Zohran Mamdani, speaking about the Democratic party and his bold proposals, in the October 20, 2025, issue of The New Yorker. My, I like him. He's the future. I want to see more politicians like him (and AOC, Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson, Maxwell Frost, etc.).

The #NYPD Is Teaching America How to Track Everyone Every Day Forever
Wherever you go in #NYC, there’s a good chance the #police are #tracking you. Enter the subway system, for instance, & your #identity, #banking information & #location trickle into city databases.
Walk down the street & you’re likely to be recorded by one of thousands of security cameras, some belonging to the NYPD, others connected or available to the dept's databases.

Karma is something. It’s been exactly 35 years since five boys were arrested for things they did not do, then held for a vicious attack they did not commit. The evil thug who put out this 1989 ad against the five boys (now Exonerated Five) is NOW in a NYC courtroom ON TRIAL. #nyc #centralpark #exoneratedfive #Mastodon #BlackMastodon
The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral.
Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.”

Next up, a position in the #Trump admin

#NYC Mayor #EricAdams announced Sunday that he is ending his campaign for #reelection.
In a video released on social media, Adams spoke with pride about his achievements as mayor, including a drop in violent crime. But he said that “constant media speculation” about his future & a decision by the city’s campaign finance board to withhold public #funding from his reelection effort, made it impossible to stay in the race.
Zohran Mandami is having genuine and whole-hearted fun running for #NYC mayor. y’all have no idea how big that plays in this land of cynics. we can smell phonies a million miles away.
yes, people voted for phony Adams last time because, unfortunately, people were confused by the new primaries system and we got stuck with him.
not this time.
nyc wants a bullshit-free socialist for mayor. no nepobabies or bootlicking ACABs this time around.

They Were Choked, Beaten and Tased by #NYPD Officers. The Commissioner Buried Their Cases.
==
New York City’s #Police Commissioner Edward Caban has repeatedly used a little-known authority called “retention” to prevent officers accused of misconduct from facing public disciplinary trials.
Victims are never told their cases have been buried.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!??!?!?
am just columbusing that #ZohranMamdani is the son of Mira Nair.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Nair
HOW WAS I NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS?!?!??!?!?
🗣 MIRA NAIR IS ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL #GENX #FEMINIST MOVIES & #DOCUMENTARY DIRECTORS YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT
India Cabaret, Salaam Bombay and Mississippi Masala are masterpieces.
go read about Zohran’s momma and watch her #movies. this explains A LOT!

“La Liberté éclairant le monde,” a gift from France, by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.
I haven’t felt much like sharing photos of Lady Liberty in the past dark years, but maybe I can do so after yesterday’s election. The clouds gather, but still she stands.
Fuck the fascists, fuck cruelty, fuck the politics of corruption and despair. There’s life in New York yet, and we’re not going down without a fight.

watching the #ABCNEWS livefeed of #ZohranMamdani’s headquarters and it’s PACKED with Zillennials.
Zoomers and Millennials are already changing the world by existing. this fascist backlash is of not just one but several dying death cults.
#nyc is the beginning of their revolution.
i believe in them. as a mom and #auntifa it’s my job to make sure they succeed.
the work is just starting.
