#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.

#ZohranMamdani Didn’t Lie on His College Application

Peter Beinart explains the history, going back generations, of Mamdani's family in Uganda, which underlies the claim that they are African and serves, in part, as the basis for their opposition to ethnonationalism...all of which the New York Times failed to or inadequately reported.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign proposes free childcare. Is it finally a winning policy?

"family-focused policies would improve equity in the city, as more parents – especially women – would be able to remain in the workforce. And in making the city more affordable for everyone, families from diverse backgrounds with a range of incomes would be able to remain in their communities."

Shows Democrats How Not to Take the Bait

By refusing to capitulate on "globalize the intifada," Mamdani rejected a long tradition of demonizing Arabic language.

It’s about time that more politicians took a note from Mamdani: Stop taking the bait.

To the Field First, Comrades!

"What makes these declarations of spontaneous inception so remarkable is not merely that they are wrong, but that they get it entirely backwards. While Mamdani’s ascent may have bypassed the traditional Democratic Party machinery, his campaign didn’t achieve this through individual genius, but through a decade of methodical collective effort."

Mamdani to Volunteers: It Is Your Victory

In the video linked to in this Lemmy post, tells volunteers just how much he owes his victory to , how much he expects his campaign to rely on it, heading into November, and how much he expects to rely on it if he is elected

Will Democrats Learn from the Establishment’s Loss?

"Mamdani’s dramatic upset makes clear, his is the path forward for Democrats and the left: a robust, big-tent grassroots political organization that incorporates the populism rather than shutting it out and speaks to the need of younger generations of voters fed up with a sclerotic party establishment.

"It’s about damn time."

How Zohran Scrambles the Right

"...certain attacks are bound to fall flat. Conservatives, in their fever dreams, imagined Obama as a Muslim socialist born in Africa. This literally describes Mamdani. When you are something, and own it completely, many rhetorical bullets can be deflected."

Four Months to November

Will the clown car General Election for New York City Mayor actually be competitive?

Michael Lange, whose prediction of the outcome of the NYC Democratic primary was -- although it fell short -- more accurate than most, now analyzes five scenarios for the mayoral race and predicts the outcomes under each.

If #ZohranMamdani Wins, Then What?

Mamdani is the heavy favorite to win the general election in November. If he prevails, he will be, without a doubt, the most powerful unabashedly left-wing politician in America.

That’s direct power: over America’s largest police force, its largest education department and a municipal budget that has soared past $110 billion.

To anyone still wondering if New York Times can disgrace itself even more than it already has in recent years, Dan Froomkin has an answer:

"The sad fact is that there is nothing terribly out of character about the New York Times’s decision to publish a deceptive hit piece about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, based on hacked data supplied by a noted eugenicist to whom they granted anonymity."

"When Times columnist Jamelle Bouie had the temerity to post 'i think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi,' he was apparently forced to delete it for violating the paper's social media guidelines. Think about that for a moment. The Times will protect the anonymity of a white supremacist, but will silence their own Black columnist for accurately identifying him."

"Much of Big Journalism, for example, turned their noses up at insider documents offered to them about JD Vance during last year’s presidential campaign, in part because the source was Iranian hackers; in some cases, they wrote about the hack but not the documents.

The Mamdani story, however, fell far short of the newsworthiness bar."

"[The Zohran Mamdani story] came to the Times due to a widespread hack into Columbia’s databases, transmitted to the paper through an intermediary who was given anonymity by the paper. That source turns out to be Jordan Lasker, who – as the Guardian has reported – is a well-known and much criticized ''eugenicist', AKA white supremacist."

"Traditional journalism ethics suggests that when news organizations base a story on hacked or stolen information, there should be an extra high bar of newsworthiness to justify publication."
