#ZohranMamdani just showed up at the #RTJ + #WuTangClan concert in #NewYork. My friends, who are backstage handling guest lists, are absolutely losing their minds over this dude. He and his wife are not acting like VIPs. They are in the pit, directly in front, rapping every word. They’re directing him backstage now and my phone won’t stop buzzing with photos and info.

The impact is impressive. The connection to the culture is genuine. I am praying for his success and protection at this point.

"In a move that activists are saying is an attempt to quell the passionate student and worker movement for Palestinian liberation within the City University of New York (CUNY), student organizer Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik has been suspended for a year.

"Along with CCNY’s academic sanction case against Malik, CUNY has also fired four faculty members."

Reddit post in r/upstate_new_york by RANDOMyoUSERNAME. UPSTATE NY HEALTH INSURANCE I work for New York State Of Health and they have implemented a new policy that requires us to report inquiries about health insurance status related to immigration to the Department of Health, which may then forward that information to immigration authorities. This marks a change from our previous policy of not sharing such information! Our TERMS, RIGHTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES still says “The state will not report any information on this application to a federal immigration agency.” This is now a lie and you can SUE NEW YORK STATE for this lie. Please be careful when you apply for health insurance, some of my coworkers don’t care and will heartlessly report any and everyone and ICE may come for you! Stay vigilant. -Thank you for listening. I cannot stand by watching while this world goes to hell. Help each other before it’s too late!

Today in Labor History July 4, 1840: The anti-rent association of Berne in the Hudson Valley issued its Declaration of Independence, starting the Anti-Rent War, which lasted until August 1845. Also known as the Helderberg War, the anti-rent war was a tenants' revolt in upstate New York against the patroons, who acted as feudal lords with the right to make laws. The first meeting of the Anti-Rent tenant farmers was held in Berne, New York on July 4, 1839. Leaders of the revolt were tried for riot, conspiracy and robbery in 1845. The first trial resulted in no convictions. A re-trial in September 1845 saw a fist-fight between the attorneys who were sentenced to solitary confinement for 24 hours. One defendant, Smith A. Boughton, was sentenced to life imprisonment, but was pardoned by the pro-Anti-Renter John Young.

Take seriously these immature but dangerous pathological fascist dystopians!!! These people are SICK!

There are more of us than them. Not only in #NY, but across the U.S. and beyond its borders.

It's up to #PeoplePower, #InternationalPeoplePower, #humanrights #lawyers, #protests, #boycotts, etc to stop this bullshit!

Indeed what about the right to #breathe, which cuts across class lines and the #HABITABILITY crisis in #Barcelona and #NewYork which does not get nearly as much political attention as the #affordability crisis
