    Socialist in NYC mayoral race with Adams

    Progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary to run for mayor of New York City, defeating plutocratist Democratic Andrew Cuomo, who conceded.

    Bernie Sanders, who campaigned for Mamdani, is triumphant.

    Cuomo was governor of New York State, then was compelled to resign over sexual improprieties whose details I don't recall. The principal reason he was a bad governor is that he harmed all non-rich citizens of New York State by favoring the rich. This year, rich people tried to parachute him in as mayor, so it is good that he lost.

    In the final election, Mamdani will run against Night-Mayor Adams, who stands for being harsh on crime except when committed by him.

    Internet shutdown, Iran

    Iran's government has blocked international communication by internet for most people, which has made it hard for Iranians in Iran to communicate securely with each other.

    Reportedly the state fears a student uprising.
