This week in class I covered colonialism in NYC. To help students understand how deep the Dutch colonial legacy is here, I used the New York Knicks, whose branding comes from (1) the old Dutch flag and (2) the “Knickerbockers,” a nickname for Dutch settlers. It blew their minds.

JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others ncronline.org/node/292716 via NCR

No Muslim—anywhere in the world—should be under any delusions about how Islamophobic India is.

Teaching Columbia undergrad and grad students how to read a 3-D map of colonial New Amsterdam (est. 1624) and how the this spatial layout shaped social relations and affects the geography of New York City today. Real nerd hours.

Fun fact: NYC went bankrupt due to not only urban decline but gross mismanagement of social services (free hospitals, unis, etc). President Ford first denied funds to NYC to teach em a lesson. World leaders literally had to come to DC to tell him if NY goes, the world goes. DUMMY

It’s hard to believe that billionaires have their hands so deep in LOCAL elections. But NYC is just that important! Right now, there’s a MAGA backed campaign seeking to unseat Shahana Hanif. Come support her and prove our numbers are stronger than their $ mobilize.us/shahanaforcity…

The reason the French and probably the whole West is paying attention to Pakistan being able to shoot down the Indian-bought French jets is they likely did it with Chinese-made air defense. If Chinese can shoot down one of Europe’s best fighters, this is DeepSeek all over again.

This is what it is. Partitioned people will continue to kill each other with weapons purchased from their colonisers, to defend borders imposed on them by those very same entities.

The Pope is FROM CHICAGO OMG

This is a big cultural moment for deep dish pizza and no ketchup on hot dogs and the Cubs

my dad rushed into the room and was like “A NEW POPE WAS ANNOUNCED” mind you we’re muslim

America now has both the pope and the antichrist

Love that the new Pope cited an article with these words: "But Jesus seemed to be inviting us into a different world altogether — one where love moves freely and without hierarchy, breaking down the borders we've been taught to build."

I know Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Midtown gonna be lit tonight

total KKK defeat
