Do check out this interview with Ananya Roy, my dear colleague and director of @challengeineq.bsky.social, on migrant movements and her new and colleagues' book Beyond Sanctuary.
"Migrant movements" is a term used in the book, Beyond Sanctuary, that describes movement across borders, but also describes powerful organizing via migrant squats & cross-border solidarity action networks.

For some time New York City has couched so much presumably progressive urban policies like climate action, housing development, public space & urban greening in regressive politics. I'm excited for a change and what comes next. ✊✊

At just 34 years old, Zohran Mamdani culminated a meteoric political rise Tuesday by scoring a decisive victory in a polarizing mayoral election.
He will become the youngest mayor in over a century, the first Muslim to lead New York City.

Wow, Zohran really brings all the racists to the yard, doesn't he? So many of us use "aunt" or "aunty" to mean our literal parent's sibling or their cousin or their distant relative of that generation or often simply an older person with some familial impact.
