The Asian population of New Dorp/Midland Beach has exploded in recent years, increasing by 180 percent between 2010-2020. Zohran did well there, consistent with his strong performance in other E Asian neighborhoods throughout the city

Rosebank (which I wrote about extensively in my @thebaffler.com essay on SI last year) was once a deeply conservative all-Italian stronghold. It’s now one of the most diverse neighborhoods on SI with large and growing Asian and Latino populations

Ask and you shall receive. To the extent that SI has any hipster/gentrifier neighborhoods that resemble the commie corridor of Queens/BK, they’re here. No surprise Zohran won

Pennino’s marbles are found all across the Island in some of the best-known locations, including parks, monuments and cemeteries. In the first half of the 20th century Cuba was the leading consumer of Italian marble, and Pennino was the “Rey de los mármoles”

1905: The Italian writer and businessman Giuseppe (José) Pennino becomes the first person deported from the Republic of Cuba for political reasons. Pennino was accused of “agitación política” and “ideas anarquistas.” Cuban police placed him on a boat to Cartagena….

I was lucky enough to share my thoughts on Pope Francis’s passing with @antoniafarzan.bsky.social from the Providence Journal. We won’t see another like Francis, but we can honor him by treating all people with dignity and working for peace and justice. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

This, from @mashagessen.bsky.social in today’s NYT is true, and troubling. It has taken far too long for universities to band together and make common cause against Trump’s assaults. Hopefully the tide may be turning, but time is short. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

We joined hundreds of fellow Rhode Islanders at a labor rally to oppose Trump, Musk, and the billionaire driven anti-worker government takeover. Molly dictated what she wanted her sign to say. Thanks @riaflcio.bsky.social! And hi @danieldenvir.bsky.social

I'm in Baltimore for a talk at Hopkins on Pedro Prestán, a nineteenth-century Afro-Panamanian revolutionary whose life spawned over a century of anti-imperialist literary adaptations. The talk is tomorrow, March 6, at 1:30 pm and is open to the public. Would love to see you there!

Mi artículo sobre el escritor colombiano Santiago Pérez Triana acaba de publicarse en la Revista de Estudios Hispánicos. Su narrativa de exilio utilizó los ríos como herramientas para repensar la comunidad nacional, la identidad racial, y la política indígenas durante la dictadura regeneracionista.
