Come the Revolution!
Mamdani and the DSA Just Sent a Seismic Message: The Revolution Is Here to Stay
Ross Barkan
<
A stunning trio of congressional victories proved that the political earthquake the mayor and his allies ushered in was no fluke. m
A new mayor trying to flex his political muscle across New York City could hardly dream up a night this glorious.
Zohran Mamdani backed three insurgent candidates for Congress in high-profile primaries that enraged the Democratic establishment. All three-Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darial-iza Avila Chevalier-won smashing victories. For Mamdani, it was proof that the political revolution he launched last year is still very much alive. For the Democratic Socialists of America, which put its organizational muscle behind most of these races, the results were evidence of its ever-increasing ascendancy in New York City politics. And for the city's traditional political firmament, the night showed how frail its grip on power is becoming.
Lander's victory over incumbent Dan Goldman in New York's 10th Congressional District is the least surprising. Even without Mamdani, the former city comptroller and mayoral candidate might have dethroned Goldman, who was too much of an Israel hawk to represent the dis-trict, which spans Lower Manhattan and brownstone Brooklyn. Lander was a known, already-beloved quantity in the district, and he was well-positioned from the moment he announced his bid.
Valdez and Avila Chevalier were another matter entirely. The former had not even completed one term in the state Assembly, and the latter is a doctoral student at CUNY who had never run for office. Without Mamdani and the DSA machine, they would likely have been obliterated by their respective opponents, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and incumbent Representative Adriano Espaillat.

Lenin: "They [the capitalists] will furnish credits which will serve us for the support of the Communist Party in their countries and, by supplying us materials and technical equipment which we lack, will restore our military industry necessary for our future attacks against our suppliers. To put it in other words, they will work on the preparation of their own suicide."

#Sudan
#HumanRights
#RSF
As the conflict in Sudan continues to escalate, a new and controversial trend has emerged: high-level RSF commanders are defecting to the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). But does switching sides grant them immunity?
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has issued a firm stance: Those responsible for serious international crimes and human rights violations do not get a free pass if they switch sides.
In this video, we break down:
The HRW Demand: Why international organizations
are calling for the prosecution of defecting commanders for their roles in documented atrocities, including the siege of El Fasher.
The Amnesty Controversy: Sudan's military leadership has previously offered amnesty to those who lay down their arms, but HRW warns that using amnesties to bypass justice for war crimes, sexual violence, and torture violates international obligations.
The Call for Accountability: We look at the efforts of the Coalition for Atrocity Prevention and Justice on Sudan and the push to expand International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction across the country.
The cycle of impunity has haunted Sudan for too long. Can justice be achieved when former enemies become allies, or will accountability be sacrificed for political gain?
