Shortly after @ZohranKMamdani won the Democratic nomination for NYC mayor, I joined a Bangladeshi community media panel to discuss his historic campaign. When I mentioned how Mamdani began his speech by thanking the “aunties,” the men laughed. tinyurl.com/3hyvtp82

This is Cereese Qusba, the hero investigative journalist for the Cornell Daily Sun who doggedly pursued the story about the Cornell 7 for two years, blowing the lid off what had happened when her article was finally published on the 19th..
With so many dark posts about such a horrific incident, Ms. Qusba’s work shows the importance of journalism in accountability. She is the best of Cornell.

.@Cornell arrested 22 students for protesting a genocide but seven students who drugged and raped a woman for seven hours were made to write essays about it.
Israel is using laws banning Palestinian Authority activity to raid cultural institutions, including a bookshop and theater, in an attempt to squeeze Palestinian culture out of East Jerusalem, writes @HalaGorani for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/reportage/is…

I wrote why @Prada's choice of Palestinian-born Saint Levant as their brand ambassador is a big deal.
Not because the promo shoot shows him wearing a Palestine map pendant, but b/c this is the 1st luxury brand to make such an overt political statement. newlinesmag.com/running-note…

@nyknicks historic 29-point Finals comeback is more than a sports stat. It's the exact energy of a city made by immigrants and kept running by immigrants.
Here is the immigrant DNA of the New York Knicks you need to know about. 🧵👇port-of-entry.com/p/you-cant…
Today, @KarlTowns plays to honor the sacrifice of his late Dominican mother. @OGanunoby, born in London to Nigerian parents, anchors the team's bruising defense.
The hustle is generational.
Right now, national rhetoric aims to make immigrants feel temporary. But you can’t rip out the engine of New York and expect it to run.

Knicks in FIVE. 🗽🏀
A Muslim millennial mayor who quotes hip hop artists in every address and the Knicks coming back is the revival NYC needed.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

"This will be the third graduation and commencement ceremony in a row where we do not have a student speaker, where we do not have a faculty speaker and we do not have a live-streamed commencement. ... [T]hey took [all] that away specifically because of Palestine repression."
