Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 20/03/2026
Earlier this week, I had the honor of breaking fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody. It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time.   In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity. Eid Mubarak, New York.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

“[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” says @bethgardiner.bsky.social, author of "Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future."

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics
Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

There was a holly tree outside of my childhood home, and I always appreciated their color and the fact that you can kinda fuck with them and not get too stabbed.

This is not even an attempt to couch their war on higher education in some sort of higher principle like "intellectual diversity." This is just "we're targeting leftist professors." They're telling us what they plan to do.
"Univ. of Texas professor was dismissed from an administrative post overseeing university academic affairs because of ideological differences.

Texas is targeting professors who are more focused on pushing leftist ideologies rather than preparing students to lead our nation.

We must end indoctrination and return to education fundamentals at all levels of education.

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.
