More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.
That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

The conversation about illegal immigration would be very different in America if the focus of federal law enforcement was on arresting and prosecuting corporate employers who hire undocumented workers.

This is for Texas but I hope y’all are paying attention to Friday, November 7th because SCOTUS is going to rule on same sex marriages for all Americans.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.
It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

I wouldn’t post it if it was junk. This is good reporting led by two Black journalists. What I like here is by hearing from solid sources it sets out a clear path to addressing the concerns and garnering the level of Black support Mamdani needs.
Very interesting exploration of Mamdani and Black voters. Finally, observations from a range of Black leader voices who put the candidates’ challenges w/the Black community in context. GIFT LINK
