Original broadside printing of the Haitian Declaration of Independence. The document is titled "Liberté ou la Mort" and "Armée Indigène," and it is held by the National Archives of the United Kingdom (call number MFQ 1/184).

On January 1, 1804, revolutionaries established the independent country of Haiti, the first nation to permanently ban slavery. As we begin a year engulfed by the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, it’s worth reading the Haitian Declaration of Independence in full. 🇭🇹

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Friends please stop saying immigrants are treated poorly because they are “seen as criminals” as tho if they were “criminals” it would justify torture or no medical care or food. The violence we acquiesced to is what got us here. High time we recognize NO human deserves to be treated this way.

Father and Son Separated by ICE Deported Together to China After his arrest on Nov. 26, Fei Zheng was held at the Orange County Jail upstate. His son was in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

A Chinese father and son who were arrested by ICE and separated inside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan last month have been reunited — and then swiftly deported to China.

Zohran Mamdani, le candidat démocrate, élu maire de New York Celui qui se définit comme socialiste l’emporte largement sur son rival, l’ancien gouverneur Andrew Cuomo, qui avait reçu le soutien de Donald Trump. Le jeune démocrate de 34 ans deviendra le 1er janvier le premier maire musulman de la plus grande ville des Etats-Unis.

Zohran Mamdani, le candidat démocrate, élu maire de New York

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

The Piercing Immigrant Drama of “Souleymane’s Story” In Boris Lojkine’s sharply observed Paris-set drama, a Guinean refugee struggles to survive—and to cling to the truth of who he is.

The considerable power of Boris Lojkine’s new film “Souleymane’s Story” depends entirely on its moment-to-moment persuasiveness, on a set of narrative and aesthetic choices that, as presented, seldom feel like choices at all, @justincchang.bsky.social writes.

Rapper GloRilla performs "Let Her Cook" at the BET awards in a white suit and hat. Her backup dancers are dressed as servers.

"Why Black people don't call the police."

And

"Why cops make the murder rate go up."

Part 1000.

Award winning musician GloRilla's house was burglarized by home invaders who knew she would be performing at a concert.

Police showed up and... searched her house for drugs...🤔

And charged her.🤡

Many, many, MANY studies show that the cumulative costs of harassing homeless people—cops, prison, jail, etc—are much more expensive than just housing them and providing income, and that doing those things helps people get to the point where they’re not in crisis any longer.

We choose cruelty.

There is no ethical AI. The tech is based on stolen intellectual property, anti-solidarity between workers, labor exploitation, environmental injustice, climate destabilization, structural racism, and gender inequalities.

Again, New York City spends $12 billion a year on cops. Billion!

Cops that can't recover a stolen bike or smartphone that's covered in AirTags.

Cops that aren't good at solving murders.

Cops that cost so much that the city has had to shorten the operating hours of libraries and swimming pools.

Tax on ultra-rich: 'France has the opportunity to lead the way,' say Nobel Prize-winning economists OP-ED.

Title: Pro-Cuomo super pacs have flooded the mayoral fundraising race Chart: Fundraising by New York City mayoral campaigns and allied super pacs

This chart tells you everything you need to know about the NYC mayoral race. Everyday New Yorkers vs money.

I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.

no reason not to primary chuck schumer now

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

LMAO - Errol Louis asked the reporter at the Cuomo party if the people there looked like they had been out working all day campaigning, or had they just shown up for the party. She DEAD ASS said, Working? "No, these people's job for the Cuomo campaign is writing checks." 💀

Cuomo était le Gouverneur de l’État de New York, pas de la ville.

The politician who blew $60 million of taxpayer money on his sexual harassment defense wants to take the police force that blew $206 million of taxpayer money on settlements *in 2024 alone* and give them even more money and power which will result in even more settlements.

Young, charismatic Zohran bringing new younger voters into the process… while establishment Dems freak out that he wants to help people too much… as they simultaneously spend millions trying to figure out how to reach the very voters he reaches. gothamist.com/news/nearly-...
