Thread Rules

1. We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
2. Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
3. Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
4. Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)

Remember that dude I mentioned (who won the NYC democratic primary to become Mayor of one of the biggest, richest cities in the world) has again won the whole full general election to finally become Mayor!

A massive victory for progressive politics.1something that is already reshaping UK politics with the Green party’s Zach Polanski’s recent meteoric rise in popularity. Whose admitted to using Mamdani as a template for how to push a progressive agenda. As opposed to Reform’s regressive fear mongering Something PoC are all too aware tends to be a vital issue for us.

I mean wtf is this reporting BBC?2Add shade to the progressive win, but prop up & skew shit narratives! As if the UK wouldn’t be completely “challenged” with a Reform government by oh, I dunno the actual examples of the clusterfuck fires that are actual Reform led councils atm 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️. They don’t have any real policies except go after black & brown people! Gee whizz I can’t see why… looks at top news item & CEO’s (who get paid hundreds of times more than their workers) making interesting comments 🙄

The media’s agenda feels patently obvious sometimes?! (skip to ~1 minute mark):

I dunno y’all. Reform are looking to pull an ICE over here in the UK & the media is being very helpful. Even Mamdani’s win came out to 50% against serially alleged sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo’s 40% (in “liberal” NYC 🤦🏾‍♀️).

Still Zohran’s positivity is infectious! Let us hope so is progressive politics!
