Its been a while since ive been ratio’d so hard - but no I’m not a professional or a shill. I support Mamdani, donate monthly to all my local progressives and prominent ones afar such as Sanders and AOC, and volunteer and participate in my local politics such as yimby and stronger town initiatives when my schedule allows. I put my money and my actions behind my thoughts, not just my words.

My criticism is based on principle and made in the hopes of improving his message.

My point is not that the policy is bad, I think it’d be good if he removed the language targetting a race of people, but that his targeting parameters are racist, and in my book, a person who creates racist policy is a racist, a person who thinks race is a valid way to determine people and policy, and I oppose that. I oppose racists.

What I am saying is that, if the same neighborhood is targeted, because it is rich and under-enforced compared to other neighborhoods - that is fine by me.

But if the neighborhood is targeted not only because it is rich, but because it has a predominantly white community, that is not fine by me.

Its a “nitpicker” nuance, I get it, but one is racist policy, and one is not.

I want to end racism, not continue to allow the pendulum to swing in a never ending tit for tat that reaffirms the racist core of our society.

Justice can be achieved without racism.

I do fear he is a racist however. in his published policy memo “Supporting homeowners and ending deed theft” at https://www.zohranfornyc.com/platform

He says in a headline in the linked policy memo document:

Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods

I support the rich paying their share, and most of his other policies, if anything because is moves the city in the correct direction in my opinion; but I do take issue with him not just targeting a neighborhood because its richer, but because it is also whiter.

That is an explicitly racist policy, and on principle it should be opposed.

I do not understand why he is injecting race war into what could and should be a class war and it feels like a significant misstep. I’ve emailed his campaign about it days ago, but there has been no response or update so far unfortunately.

In the demo video, they show that you simply check boxes on which apps you want to be available or not in the dumb mode, I imagine selecting signal, and deselecting the default SMS messager is possible

If a hurricane is aborted at the embryo stage, then all that potential energy in the water, which fuels the hurricane, is never consumed and dissipated by the hurricane.

I think if we tried this, we’d find the oceans to heat up at an even more extreme rate, and create spontaneous weather events that we are unable to prepare and defend against.

Honestly, the blue trim as a highlight with the brown door works pretty well in my eyes

How does this differentiate from KiCad?

And likewise, if you’re concerned about tankies driving the message of the protest, join the movement and add your voice.

I need America to not fall to the current fascists literally in power right now, who are making lists of people with genetic traits, who are kidnapping residents and citizens off the streets and putting them in black sites, and who are arresting judges, while they stiffle Congress, supreme courts, and state and city governments.

I have one enemy who wants to kill me, and another who wears a colored shirt. I know who my enemy is and who I need to protest against.

I know which plays a larger threat.

Please show up at your local mayday protest next Thursday, check with 50501. This cannot continue.

The cabinet will not save us.

The legislature will not save us.

The courts will not save us.

We must save us.

3.5% or more of the US must come out and protest this coming Thursday and through the weekend.

Skip work, skip school, skip whatever you can, if it’s not stopped soon with a show of unity we will not recover.

A monthly playlist of about a 100 songs from small artists, not all of its to my taste, but there’s definitely some diamonds in the rough and a lot of exposure to the unfamiliar

I bet Trump’s team feels so clever with this scheme, the bastards

It reads a little condescending imo
