New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani thanks President Mahama for holding a wreath-laying ceremony in honour of enslaved Africans at the African Burial Ground National Monument in Lower Manhattan, New York, sharing that Ghana holds deep meaning for him as he was named Kwame

Today is the International Day of Remembrance of Victims of Slavery & the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Lasting for more than four centuries and stealing more than 15 million people (including children), it was the largest ever forced movement of people. 1/11

I think Zohran's co-opting of efficiency from the right will be seismic for the American socialist project. We need to run a national campaign against The Contractor State—neoliberalism's grand, massively inefficient outsourcing of government functions to private contractors.

Ghana and the African Union have laudably led the world in passing an historic resolution to recognize the trans-Atlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity.” The United States, Israel & Argentina voted no & most EU countries (the primary perpetrators) abstained.

Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, speaking at the United Nations in New York, criticized the US for normalizing the erasure of Black history and warned such policies could have wider global impact reut.rs/3O2ghGG

The State of Palestine co-sponsored the resolution and the Palestinian people stand in solidarity with the millions of African victims of trafficking and racialised chattel enslavement. May this injustice never be perpetrated again; may its enduring racial, economic, ecological

This result tells us three things my dear Africans; 1) We are all on our own. 2) Every European nation that systematically benefited from slavery abstained. 3) Oman abstained because they were leading the Arab slave trade (18 million lives lost).

If you are looking for a new NYC restaurant to support, Ali Dogan owns Ali Baba Turkish restaurant at 224 E 53rd and kept his doors open to EVERYONE when it was below freezing out and constantly feeds his neighbors. A true 👑, man of the community and kindhearted New Yorker.

james baldwin was so right when he said “the children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

🇲🇽🚨 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum just made it clear: Mexico has every right to send fuel to Cuba, whether for humanitarian or commercial reasons. No apology. No hesitation. No asking permission. Washington has spent six decades telling the world who can trade with Cuba

The person delivering your Grubhub order may not have actually been working for Grubhub. Streetsblog found that Grubhub subcontracted to another app called Relay to skirt paying NYC's delivery minimum wage to those workers. Here's @sophlebo with more:

.Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani is right. Albany can and must do more. To close the city's budget gap, we must tax the rich. It's time to pass my bill with NY State Senator Kristen Gonzalez to tax NYC's wealthiest corporations and generate $1.7 billion in revenue, backed by the state legislature and 21 councilmembers.
