5/ In the primary, Mamdani won 7 of the 10 districts with the most rent-stabilized units. Turnout in majority-renter districts rose 7.5% on average, signaling the growing political power of tenants.

The World's Greatest Bait Shop, in Chicago's Montrose Harbor, joins the resistance.

Thank you @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social for hosting my first reflections on this day.

@emanabdelhadi.bsky.social:
Has the fire ceased?

After 467 days, will Gazan skies carry clouds & sun rather than bombs & death?

Will history rewrite itself? Will those who stood silent claim to have been there all along by our sides? Will our memories be enough of a witness?

Has the fire ceased?

If you don't know much about Marilyn Sneiderman's impact on the labor movement—and even if you do—I urge you to read this piece from @sarahljaffe.bsky.social in @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social. Sneiderman just retired, but her transformational impact is ongoing. A great read.

Wrote one more time about Adeel Mangi, and about the Democratic senators whose craven embrace of a vile Islamophobic smear campaign should follow them around for the rest of their political careers inthesetimes.com/article/adee...

Hard disagree! In my opinion, the best books are part of the effort of ushering in a new world to come, which means that the "book" as object itself is just part of what should be a larger organizing vehicle. Publishers never allocate $ to marketing, should be $ for organizing. Book project > Book

Nikki Giovanni
(1943-2024)

This was from the first time I met and interviewed Nikki Giovanni. It was after the shootings at Virginia Tech. In that interview, and each time we met after (often at Eso Won), she was somehow one of the most compassionate and savage people I’ve ever crossed paths with. 💔

French antifa activists printed out Alberto Toscano's work in @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social (edited by @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social), translated it and are passing it out at demos.

That's how we do conversions.

“It remains true that people cannot stand the denial of freedom, and that’s what’s on the menu. Cohering opposition and organizing together are the recipe not just to resist, but to win.”
