Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box.

If We Want Mamdani to Beat the NYPD, the Left Must Build Power
We won’t be able to push Mamdani, or anyone else, to undermine police power unless we become a force to be reckoned with.

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.”

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

He’s destroying a democracy and you’re helping destroy an entire people off the face of the earth. Please tell me what is the difference and which is more important.
Wake up America!
Donald Trump is pursuing a coordinated effort to destroy our democracy.
It is up to all of us to stop him.
And that includes corporate media like Disney/ABC and tech companies bending the knee.
It may be someone else today.
But it will be you tomorrow.

Students, staff, and faculty on campuses around the world who have been demanding their schools boycott + divest from Israel are not only explicitly in the right according to international law, but are actually articulating the basic legal responsibility + requirement of all corporate entities.
Canadian universities too should be in Francesca Albanese’s report
Canadian university administrators should remember that they too can be held accountable for genocide complicity.
