Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3mo ago

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

“How can people be okay with how cruel he is?” Well. White people gathered around in their Sunday best with children and babies to laugh and giggle at Black people being tortured and hung from a tree. Only to then take our limbs and private parts home in mason jars as souvenirs. So…?

Michael Jackson had heavy rumors and a documentary*, and he is still highly beloved. People are very excited about this new biopic. Boondocks did the R Kelly ep yrs before folks disavowed him I just don’t think this is true. *whether or not MJ actually did it is irrelevant to the point of my post

This shit is crazy, just the rumor of Drake liking lil girls or being weird with em was enough to change his entire reputation in the Black community. But in the white community, these muhfuckas are OPENLY giving cover to KNOWN pedos. HOW CAN I TRUST Y'ALL????

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Today I learned that the author of this 1977 op-ed was the most important college mentor for the current head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

'Roots' Was a Racist Attack on White People THIS IS going to be a harsher column than l ordinarily care to write, but the whole "Roots" phenomenon deserves some blunt comment. Tens of millions of Americans sat through the eight TV episodes of "Roots" and apparently did not understand that they themselves were being attacked both directly and unjustifiably. This fact is at once alarming and profoundly depressing. The attack made by "Roots," more-over, was deeply racist, practically all of the whites being unattractive louts, practically all of the blacks nature's noblemen. This is the sort of thing many of the commentators are calling "mythic truth." That is, people with white skins are, morally speaking, unattractive louts. As Susan Sontag once put it, whites are the cancer of the human race. "Roots" was just as blunt. Is it possible that the white audience for "Roots" was unaware that it was being assaulted? If so, then perhaps that audience really does deserve to be ripped off, picked clean - for that is what "Roots" is really all about. "Roots" does not have much to do with histo-ry, which is scarcely present at all in the series, but with concrete political claims in the present. The message comes through loud and clear, viz., because of the slavery experience in the past, contemporary Jeffrey Hart blacks have special valid claims on contemporary whites. Contemporary whites, indeed, should feel guilty in connection with blacks. now awarded status" Haley. "Roots" means to offer blacks a mor. al blank check, figures to be filled in at leisure: quotas in jobs and colleges, privileged access to the federal kitty, favorable court decisions on highly disputed matters, and so forth. An audience willing to ooh and aah over "Roots" is not about to resist very strongly when the political rip-offs arrive. To achieve its propagandistic goals. "Roots" makes a mish-mash of histo. ry. In historical fact, marauding bands of whites did not go into the African bush and grab nativ…

Jeffrey Hart, mentioned in the article, was a mentor for Harmeet Dhillon, who is now reversing the purpose of the DOJ Civil Rights Division. "At Dartmouth, Harmeet had two life-changing experiences: working for the conservative Dartmouth Review… and taking classes from Professor Jeffrey Hart."

Americans think Communism means censorship, government brutality, poverty, and chaos, while also willing to accept censorship, government brutality, poverty, and chaos, if it means they can avoid Communism.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
