Kind of a big deal that @hellgatenyc.com can confirm that NYC First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro used his position to cancel Kehlani's SummerStage concert in order to punish the artist for their political speech on Palestine:

How Randy Mastro Killed the Kehlani SummerStage Concert—And a Whole Lot More
With Mayor Adams thinking about his next act, the former first deputy mayor to Rudy Giuliani is now "guiding every conceivable aspect of this administration."

THIS IS BIG

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.
Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

See there's people who need to believe Chris Brown is our greatest entertaining genius when all the evidence says he's a mediocre woman beater & there's other people out there. Why do you need to believe in his genius? What is this urge beyond cheering misogyny?

Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist

Honoring Alice Wong's life and legacy with gratitude, in solidarity and sorrow, this morning. I was a fan; thinking of all who loved and knew her personally.

Alice's words speak to us still. As a chronically ill person, I will keep listening. What a beautiful, bold, *brilliant* life well lived.
