In Oakland, CA we elected former US Rep Barbara Lee to be our mayor. She just took office in May, and she’s already making changes. She’s out and about listening to residents’ concerns. We have high hopes, but of course time will tell.

Mamdani's election could be just the event that helps the US turn away from the current authoritarian track we are now on. In fact, New York is one of the world's premier cities; if New Yorkers move toward socialism and away from fear and greed, other people will gain the confidence to do so, too. And yes, Michael, there are other Mamdanis out there...We are our own leaders. We are our own best hope.

I can prove the genocidal monsters in the U.S. media and government have also been conspiring to pack the courts with corrupt judges who will never side with the American people. This is how they get away with everything: TRAITORS PRETENDING TO BE PATRIOTS.

If you want a government that actually acts in your best interests, go to my Substack and read the two page introduction letter. It contains everything you need to take your country back—if you can get your fellow citizens to read it.

Very well said. Mamdani's win could be what opens the floodgates and finally drives out the capitalist oligarchs.

In Seattle’s recent primary, Katie Wilson took more than 50% of the vote. Katie is the longstanding Director of the Transit Riders Union.

Her focus ,like Mamdani, is the lack of Affordability in every aspect of our lives:housing, food, education, transportation.

That's true, but have faith, there are other Zohrans's our there who are natural born US citizens and CAN run for president. Hopefully, when he wins, that will inspire one of those people to run.

Mamdani’s great. I couldn’t believe the mainstream party was refusing to support their own primary victor and supporting Cuomo, whose time has passed, until I remembered the architects of the restructured Democratic Party economic goals (to make them more like Republicans) - Bill and Hillary - were among the chief decision makers in the party. 🎉 that he calls himself a socialist!

My mother got a great education in the Kentucky mountains from a “socialist minister” and his wife, even went on to college. Seen as political goals, socialism is about supporting the people whereas capitalism is about supporting, well, capital! What do they think that line in the preamble of the Constitution means: “promote the general Welfare”?

I agree, but, was it necessary to put your post in all caps? Makes it look like you're shouting.

I look forward to voting for Mamdani for Mayor in November as I did during the June Primary. (I am not young and Jewish.

I plan to participate in Refuse Fascism tomorrow, 15 minutes of making noise.

Michael, thank you for this valuable information. Mamdani will win! On another sujbect, the American people don't want DJT to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Do you know anybody on the committee you could explain what he is really doing to our beautiful America?????? Please help.

How regularly does Michael send emails? This is the first one I've had in quite a while. I just assumed he was writing less for now. As I recall, he seems to take quite a while to get back into things immediately following the election. And I think that was understandable. I don't mind there being a few emails from him, but I would want to look into it if I'm just not getting them. Thanks.

I'm glad then I kept reading the comments. I see that Michael has been away so that does explain things for Audrey and myself. But I have to admit, another comment reminded me that I had paused my subscription for a while. Whoopsie!

If the Democratic party actually represented the American people, they would stop taking money from the same corporate criminals as the Republicans.

Go to my Substack and read the introduction letter. It contains easily verifiable proof that the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to subvert the rule of law-conspiring together to commit treason. It should go without saying, but proof of treason is the only way you are ever going to get rid of these bribe taking whores.

It's very exciting to have a new mayor that has truly good intentions. And I have no doubt that he will be elected, even though the capitalist class and their agents are doing everything to stop him. But once elected-- will he be allowed to govern as a socialist or implement his policies? Already he has been forced to indicate that he probably will keep ruling-class fascist Jessica Tisch as head of the police. She supports the SVG (the unit designed for breaking up demonstrations and beating up protestors) and discredited and racist "broken windows" policing. All stuff that Mamdani is on record as opposing. We can't vote in socialism I'm afraid. Even with a nice guy like Mamdani. BUT... it still is a good thing because once he's elected, the class struggle, in NYC at least, will sharpen. POWER TO THE WORKING CLASS!
