@velazquez.house.gov says @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has united us around a simple but powerful idea: that New York City should be a city for everyone

“As Trump targets our community, we need a mayor who won’t flinch, who will stand up and defend every NYer. That is who Zohran is.”

@chiosse.bsky.social at the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social rally:

“This election is to be part of a political revolution that continues inside and outside the halls of government… After we win this election, it’s not where the work ends- it’s where it begins.”

This is HUGE. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social stands for so much of what teachers want: fair pay, workers’ rights, affordable quality healthcare & childcare, anti-fascist, equitable policies that support our communities…and it’s starting to feel like we can actually get some of these things.

Meanwhile, bad faith debates online & in person around the meaning of the Arabic words “intifada” and “jihad” continue to contribute to the marginalization, dehumanization, and demonization of a people. I’m reminded of the words of Mohammed El-Kurd:

A group of protestors, which included Jewish and Muslim members of the community, gathered outside Gillibrand’s office, were met only with police presence.

Her framing of Muslims as dangerous antisemites & terrorists was characterized as a mistake by her spokesperson, yet protesters seeking a response received no retraction.

So I used this pesto al tonno that I found in the fridge and then sautéed some tomatoes in garlic & oil, steamed & sautéed broccoli in soy sauce with garlic & red pepper seasoning. And some Italian bread.

Great success.
