Capitalism "can never be a free market, because the concentration of wealth that it inevitably brings will overflow into the political system and mean that the state will continue to skew the market in favour of big capital." -- Steve Owens

“New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

—Zohran Mamdani, NYC Mayor-elect.
ky News @SkyNews Zohran Mamdani has won the race to become the next mayor of New York City. Mr Mamdani - who will be the first Muslim, first South Asian, and youngest person in a century to be elected as the famous city's mayor - used a victory speech to throw down the gauntlet to Donald Trump.

The dumb thing about the eric adams "future of the dem party" takes wasn't that it was *eric adams* it was that all those pundits would not normally see the close winner of a 5way dem primary in new york city as a sign of what america is demanding (and they will not with zohran,mostly correctly)

I am, of course, wildly thrilled that Zohran won.

But also, I am viscerally relieved that I don't have to spend another moment thinking about or listening to Andrew Cuomo. If he had somehow pulled out a narrow win, it would have been brutally depressing.

Well done, New York.

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.

Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.
Tech Billionaire Marc Andreessen Bet Big on Trump. It’s Paying Off for Silicon Valley.
The Trump administration’s gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been good for venture capitalists like Andreessen, who previously accused the agency of “terrorizing” fintech startups and crypto companies.

Mamdani’s win marks a rejection of the consistently Islamophobic weaponization of antisemitism. Diehard support for the Zionist project is, finally, not a sine qua non of New York City leadership... @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/04/z...
They Tried to Smear Zohran Mamdani as an Antisemite. Voters Saw Right Through It.
Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City means so much — including the repudiation of Islamophobic attacks and weaponization of antisemitism.

It took 17 years to get Democrats back to this moment of opportunity.

The question after these election wins is whether the whole party will embrace the populism voters want - and whether Dems can learn the cautionary lessons about how their past leaders' post-election betrayals created a backlash.
Welcome To The New Uprising
Zohran Mamdani’s victory could be a turning point for Democrats — if the party finally learns from its past leaders’ betrayals.

NEW: We reviewed federal prosecutions, local arrests, internal protest summaries by the Portland Police Bureau and more than 700 video clips posted to social media before Trump said he wanted to send the National Guard to the city.

Here’s what we found.
What Really Happened in Portland Before Trump Deployed the National Guard
In the two months before Trump’s decision, criminal charges were announced against only three people. On nights when physical conflict did erupt, it often came from police firing on, shoving, pepper-spraying and tackling protesters.

If the amoral Democratic pundits, strategists and elites whose corporatism destroyed their party now feel they must save face by insisting that this kind of Bernie-style populism is the election-winning pragmatic moderate centrism that they love, then great. Welcome aboard. Better late than never.

If Zohran hadn’t won, the DNC & pundits would highlight women from the Navy & CIA and moving right of the RNC on war as the only path in 2026/28. They’d gloss over the Gaza genocide (or worse.) Bc of Zohran & his supporters, AIPAC is weakened & Israel support is a liability to win Dem office.

🙏🏾👊🏽🇵🇸
Last night, two Democratic women • (Spanberger, an ex-CIA officer and Sherrill, an ex-Navy pilot) won the governorships of NJ & VA. But for Mamdani, the Dems would be pushing imperial feminism & moving right of Republicans on war as inevitable Thank you to Zohran and his supporters for creating space for dissent to war and ending Zionism as a requirement for DNC or US electoral politics
