Politicians are politicians. There will be more than altruism at the heart of Mamdani's campaign. But he is the only chance the US has of breaking the Trump hold on perception & potentially power. This election is about way more than him. It's about hope. A crack where the light can get in.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

A bloody police raid in Rio was the deadliest in Brazil’s history
Brazil’s conservatives are keener on such raids than its left-wing government

The best compliment from one who struggles a lot with being out in the world. 'You should start a podcast. There are loads of people like me who feel like this, who could do with a mum in their ear whilst they shop! It's not that you've said anything helpful it's just the random facts!!'

Am pretty happy with @wikipedia.org thanks. Written & edited by humans who make human mistakes but are open to correction. Unlike Musk & his minions, humans & otherwise. Why would anyone trust a word this man speaks or write
Elon Musk launched an early version of Grokipedia, an online encyclopedia written by AI that the billionaire is touting as a less biased alternative to Wikipedia.

When it first went live, it appeared more right-leaning in how it framed some articles. https://wapo.st/47KlZnC
