dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

One of the biggest problems in the US right now, and an aggravator of every other problem, is that most news outlets are owned by right wing billionaires who approve of Trump's fascism.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

Only two more days of racist attacks on Mamdani’s campaign, and then, God willing, it will be time to pivot to corporate media’s steady barrage of racist attacks on his administration!

ICYMI: I've proposed a rule change that would protect the ability of undocumented and disabled people to appear in court remotely, increasing access to justice and reducing the incidence of vulnerable people losing cases simply because they can't show up in the courthouse.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 10d

Hello Friends! I need your help.

I've submitted a proposal to the Illinois Supreme Court, docketed as Proposal 25-05, to guarantee that undocumented immigrants, disabled people, and legal aid and pro bono attorneys can appear in court remotely. My proposed language is the underlined text below!

The term “low cost legal provider” means an attorney, legal aid agency, law firm, law
school clinic, or other legal services provider, including an attorney representing a client pro bono,
who is charging a flat fee of $1000 or less for their services in the relevant matter.
(6) The term “undocumented immigrant” means a person whose immigration status means
they pose a reasonable risk of being detained and/or removed by federal immigration authorities.
(7) The term “disability” means a medical condition which affects one or more major life
activities and which makes in-person court attendance reasonably impracticable.

(f) Notwithstanding any foregoing provision, a Court shall permit the remote appearance
of an attorney or party for any court appearance, including those where an in-person appearance
would otherwise be permitted or required hereunder, under the following conditions:
(1) The attorney is representing a client as a low cost legal provider, except in instances
where witness testimony is to be heard or witnesses will otherwise be examined in open
court;
(2) The attorney or party is an undocumented immigrant; or
(3) The attorney or party has a disability.
In such cases the attorney or party shall file a declaration with the Court contemporaneously with
their appearance or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The declaration shall state under
penalty of perjury that they are entitled to appear remotely under one or more provisions of this
Rule 45(f), and upon filing thereof, the Court shall permit and accommodate such remote
appearances. An in-person appearance notwithstanding the filing of such a declaration will not
constitute a waiver of the right to appear remotely absent a finding by the Court that the Declaration
of the party or attorney was materially false or submitted in bad faith

Asked why Chuck Schumer hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Ilhan Omar replies: "I really don't know — it makes no sense."

"In an election, we support our party's nominee. Schumer has pressured other Democrats to do just that, and he should be following his own advice."

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."

--Brett Kavanaugh, Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo

www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street.
People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization.
As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show.
Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away.
Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.
The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”

"If you didn’t know better, you might think that Mamdani had used Nazi rhetoric or used racist or antisemitic language. He hasn’t. He’s only 'guilty' of criticizing Israel."

Why are we so focused on Mamdani — not Nazi-inspired ideas proliferating on the right?

Jews are concerned about antisemitism amid Zohran Mamdani's mayoral run. They're concentrating on the wrong side of the political spectrum.

I'm not sure I can think of anything funnier than using the term "point-blank range" to refer to the throwing of a sandwich.

Dunn’s lawyers have claimed the case is “selective and vindictive prosecution,” arguing he was singled out for prosecution “not because of the nature of his alleged conduct — throwing a soft object that caused no injury — but because his outspoken, viral critique of the current administration’s policing and immigration policies made him a political target.”

Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range.”

In addition to the fact that Cuomo is a creep, he devised a system to keep Republicans in control of the NYS legislature for years. He constantly fucked over New York City as governor, even though we are 45% of the state’s population, because he was so preoccupied with upstate conservatives.

He did say bagel, so he clearly also meant Jews stole bagels, not just Israelis. And/or he's parroting without realizing the history of extreme anti-semitic views, shrouded in anti-zionism, about jews owning nothing because we have no home of our own and are parasites on the cultures we live in.

The ACA is literally the product THEY came up with in response to Hillary Care in the 90s, that Romney enacted in Massachusetts. If it sucks it's because Republicans designed it. But the truth has never mattered to these habitual liars.
