Zohran Mamdani once applied for a @thenation internship. He didn't get it. But he did get our endorsement for mayor and we have high hopes for what he'll do in office.

Zohran was polling at 6% in January. Cuomo and his supporters spent tens of millions to defeat him. And yet he won. Our movements are stronger than their money.

"Zohran Mamdani’s victory—a socialist, Muslim one—feels like a celebration of my New York." Mamdani wins & the first piece we're publishing to mark the historic election is from @inthesetimesmag Columnist @emanabdelhadi

Mamdani will be New York City's first Muslim, socialist mayor. But his victory does—and should—mean much more.

Mamdani’s Democratic primary win in June showed that the old tricks of the political establishment are dying out—and something new is being born. Wrote about it here

It's highly likely I'm biased, but I think we have the best obituary of Dick Cheney anywhere, and it's all in one frame. From the incredible, 2x Pulitzer-Prize finalist @MattBors, who we're lucky to have as our @inthesetimesmag Comics Editor.

Dick Cheney is dead at 84. His legacy isn’t freedom or democracy—it’s oil, war, torture, shooting a friend in the head, Iraq, and death—so much death. In 2015, Danny Postel reviewed "The Road to Iraq," a look at why the U.S. invaded in 2003. https://t.co/7qW2GyfEXi

Then there’s a piece by @inthesetimesmag Senior Editor @MilesKLassin that I consider foundational to really understanding the NYC mayor’s race within the broader historical and political context. Miles will also bring readers our lead editorial this week.

Today, @RebeccaJBurns_ reports on the latest moves in Chicago, which indicate a new development of “Eviction By ICE” on the Sept 30th apartment building raid by federal agents, arresting 37 undocumented immigrants and detaining others for hours. A 🧵1/10 https://t.co/v4jSKmFuRR

"If Mamdani wins in November it will demonstrate that progressive Democrats, running within the party, can win elections based on popular working class reforms—that is, if they aren’t thwarted by their own party leadership." Michael Beyea Reagan reports https://t.co/l4bTOPQ6n8

Wall Street destroyed New York City’s social welfare economy in 1975. Avoiding that fate under Mayor Mamdani will require popular movements to discipline the super rich.

Willian Giménez González, a known advocate for the rights of day laborers, was abducted by federal agents on September 12. He told me he is now facing retaliation within ICE custody. “I was targeted for transfer to prevent my supporters from helping me."

2 years of genocide. 2 years of mass graves, children covered in rubble. 2 years of it’s too complicated. 2 years of hospitals, schools, homes turned to dust. 2 years of starvation, thirst. 2 years of the living envying the dead. 2 years. Nothing will ever be the same.
