I began class today with 10 minutes for my students to share their reflections on Mamdani’s victory and its significance — for them personally or for broader politics. Best 10 minutes of my day. CUNY students aren’t just the future. They are the present. They are New York, and they are America.

Another thing about this profession: Sometimes, teaching on the material that you "know best" goes relatively poorly, but teaching on the material that you "know worst" goes relatively well. There's a straightforward explanation but it still always catches me by surprise!

This is what my one-and-a-half year old picked out from Walgreens today, and I find it both intriguing and slightly unsettling. I want to be both close to and far away from this bird.

My Post headline Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11 The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

Colonel Gabavics said he concluded the shooting was deliberate based on several factors:
• Records of Israeli military radio traffic on the morning before the shooting showed that soldiers were aware of journalists in the area, he said. And there had been no gunfire coming from the journalists' direction that might make the Israeli soldiers likely to shoot toward them in self-defense, he said. • There was an Israeli military vehicle down the road from Ms. Abu Akleh that morning. A sniper watching the road from inside the vehicle would have been able to see the journalists clearly, Colonel Gabavics said. • When he visited the scene of the shooting hours after it occurred, he said, his colleagues, wearing blue vests similar to Ms. Abu Akleh's navy-blue protective vest marked "Press," positioned themselves where she had fallen. They were visible to him from where the shooter's vehicle had been, he said.

U.S Army officer Col. Steve Gabavics has gone public on his participation in the Biden Administration's "investigation" into the Israeli assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh, alleging that the USG softened its conclusions about the murder of the Palestinian American journalist to please Israel.
