This is who your subscription dollars are going. For the New York Times to launder conservative talking points designed to limit where and how women work to force dependency on men. They want us back to before women could own their own bank account. But sure.
women, are they bitches?
the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

It’s a small thing, but it’s very nice to have a mayor who calls his father “Baba.”

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

While canvassing for Mamdani today I met two Cuomo canvassers who told me that they were getting paid $33/hour.
And he still lost.
Lol.
And he still lost.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character
I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

Look at this and then think back to how Kamala Harris responded to protestors with "I'm speaking"
A heckler kept yelling about “intifada” & “communism” at Zohran Mamdani’s rally.
Mamdani responds with: “I want you to be able to afford this city too my brother. I want you to be able to call this city home too…We stand together with a vision of a city that has room for every political opinion.”

It's funny that there are still people on here who think Israelis shouldn't be held to account in the international legal fora because of some so called independent judiciary. The judiciary is a subsidiary of the occupation system. Take a look at the timeline of events below re: Sde Teiman rape.
Allow me to summarize:
1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner.
2. IDF files charges.
3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened.
4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation.
5. IDF AG pushed out (continued)

Early in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, “it was easy to assume that failure to learn his name reflected a failure to take him seriously,” John McWhorter writes. But “as a matter of pure linguistics, it would be surprising if people didn’t have trouble with the name Mamdani.”

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

But his assertion that diversity weakens unions ignores two things. First, labor unions have a long history of multiethnic coalitions. Second, it was the capitalists and political elites who tried to *exploit* ethnic divisions to maintain power. There is only one person here trying to stop unions:
