From Josie Stratman (NY Daily News): โ€œMayor Mamdani on his "Talk with the Mayor" twitch stream reveals an old username: airnova2112 (after Mars 2112) Apparently a 15-year-old Mamdani used the username to come to the defense of his director mom, Mira Nair, from haters on online film chat boardsโ€

โ€œFirst off, the first movie, New York I Love You, is a collection of 12 short stories I believe, and so cannot be considered solely Nair's movie, but simply understood as having a short that she directed. Even so, the movie has grossed about a million dollars, and will gross much more on the foreign market and dvds and such. The only film to really compare it to is Paris Je'Taime, the same concept but with a different city, which made 4 million something by the end of its US run, and was considered a success, thus NYILY can hardly be considered a "bomb". Then for Amelia. Although it received pretty harsh reviews across the board, for the most part, it has recouped 9 million and still boasts a place in the top 10, and is 4 in terms of screen averages of the top 10. It looks good to go on to make more money, and then there is the huge foreign and dvd market once again. One should really think before one speaks, or in this case, posts.โ€

Mamdani is close to going 3 for 3 in his Dem congressional primary endorsements, unseating two incumbents and one incumbent's chosen successor. This is a huge moment that confirms that progressive populism is not a fluke among the Democratic base, and Mamdani is the party's legit star and kingmaker.

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isnโ€™t over.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
