iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The institutional heft of Dem Party leaders like Espaillat and Velázquez and their loyal union backers was shown to be built on sand. Their attempts to mobilize voters were positively feeble in the face of the mayor’s star power and @demsocialists.bsky.social’s fierce door-knocking operation.

Meanwhile, the Israel lobby’s influence on the electorate appears increasingly tenuous or even negative, as pro-Palestine candidates made opponents’ support for Israel or ties to pro-Israel donors a political liability.

100

@socialists.nyc has shown itself to be a durable and increasingly powerful political machine, notching more election victories cycle after cycle, and proving its ability to do so on an ever-larger scale.

100

Downballot, @socialists.nyc won 6 of 7 legislative primaries, and at least 15 socialists are headed to Albany next year.

100

The Israel lobby unleashed a flood of campaign $ in an attempt to defeat vocal pro-Palestine candidates. A similar strategy seemed to work for them in 2024, when AIPAC-backed challengers unseated democratic socialist Congress members @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social and @coribush.bsky.social.

100

And @bradlander.bsky.social unseated Goldman, a sitting congressman in a race that turned into a referendum on Israel's grotesque human rights violations in Gaza, and the question of the Israel lobby’s influence on US politics.

In Upper Manhattan’s Thirteenth District, @darializaforny.bsky.social narrowly knocked off five-term incumbent and Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat.

In the 7th Congressional District, covering western Queens and northern Brooklyn, State Assembly Member @claireforny.bsky.social won in a landslide against Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, who had the support of outgoing Rep. Nydia Velázquez and the local progressive establishment.

When 34-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won NYC’s mayoral race last year, his election was described as a “political earthquake.” If the metaphor is apt, then the city’s Dem primaries were a series of powerful aftershocks. @nickfrenchnyc.bsky.social has analyzed the results for us.

Curator Grischa Meyer (left) created a remarkable exhibition combining Brecht’s writing and the newspaper clippings he used for inspiration. The exhibition opened in British Columbia this week.

A single AI data center in the New Mexico desert wants more power than half the state while people in the region fight for drinking water. Affected residents across the US aren't buying the promises and are fighting back: rosalux.nyc/the-environm... #AI #ClimateJustice #DataCenters

The far right is on the rise and #anti-feminism is one of its central pillars. In #Argentina, #Spain, and the #US, feminist movements have been fighting back. But are we also, without realizing it, playing into the same polarization logic we’re trying to dismantle?

As a teenager, Arian Moayed was confronted with the stereotypes from “Not Without My Daughter”. So he founded Waterwell, which now fights against such prejudices. With our support @newhumanitarian.bsky.social hosted a panel discussion to put the stories of those affected back in the spotlight.

Tax justice is climate justice.

000

A fair global tax system can fund the transition away from extractive and pollutive economies and invest in a livable planet.

100

Correcting climate colonialism. Today’s tax rules were shaped by powerful countries and historic polluters – the same colonial powers and historic emitters that profited from extraction and have caused massive ecological damage.

100

Address overlapping inequalities that magnify impacts of climate crisis. Make multinational corporations pay their fair share. Tax carbon-intensive lifestyles of the ultra-rich. Inequality and climate crisis are driven by the same system.

100

No money for climate action? Tax the rich and ultra-rich. Tax the profits of fossil fuel companies.

100

A fair tax system can drive climate justice. It should put people and planet before the biggest polluters and extractors.

Tax justice gives governments especially in the #globalsouth, the fiscal space to ensures #socialprotection systems and address #inequality.

100

Tax justice reduces reliance on regressive taxation passed on to #consumers.

100

Tax justice promotes #progressivetaxation on #wealth, #income and #property at the international level.

100

Tax justice curbs financial speculation and illicit financial flows.

100

Tax justice ends the ‘race to the bottom’ in the South where governments compete to offer lower tax rates, longer tax holidays, weaker regulations to attract #investment from multinational #corporations and the #super-rich.
