I sat down with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the 100,000th pothole milestone.
He said something that every politician should be required to hear:
“We can’t ask New Yorkers to believe in the most ambitious parts of our vision if we can’t deliver on the very things they can see day to day.”
100,000 potholes fixed in 100 days.
Numbers the city hasn’t seen in over a decade.
1,000 miles of roads about to be repaved.
While Washington can’t pass a war resolution.
While Congress can’t agree on a budget.
While the Senate arms foreign governments.
One mayor. One city. Actually governing.
Full episode drops Friday at 5PM.

Zohran on CBS: " I think what we can see is that a democratic socialist politics is one that should be judged on its delivery, like any ideology ... I think that this is a politics that can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class and it's time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

🚨 Let me tell you why this Goldman Sachs headline is the most dangerous one you'll read today..
Companies spent $450 billion on AI last year.. fired tens of thousands of people to "restructure around AI".. replaced entire departments with chatbots..
And Goldman Sachs just said it contributed basically zero to economic growth..
so where did the money go?
> It went to Nvidia.. $130 billion in GPU sales.. Jensen is the only man on earth who got rich from AI that hasn't produced anything yet..
> It went to stock buybacks.. companies fired people, cut costs, reported "record profits" and bought back their own shares.. the money went UP not OUT.. Jesus!
> It went to a bubble.. the same way crypto money went to Lamborghinis and not infrastructure.. AI money is going to valuations and not productivity..
here's the part that should terrify you..
They already fired the people.. Atlassian 1,600.. Meta 21,000.. Block 40%.. Amazon warehouses.. the jobs are already gone..
But the growth didn't come.. the productivity didn't come.. the revenue didn't come..
they burned the village to build a city that doesn't exist yet..
and Goldman Sachs just looked at the empty lot and said "there's nothing here"

"Massive investment in AI contributed basically zero to US economic growth last year," per Goldman Sachs

Also listen to the film program at Howard University that pioneered these practices and conversations (on lighting dark skin) and produced: Bradford Young, Arthur Jafa, Ernest Dickerson, Malik Sayeed, Hans Charles, LaDawn Manuel, and more
Queer Latifah ✨@TheAfrocentricI
Every movie, film, and show that has Black people in it need to listen to her and the cinematography who lit HBO’s Insecure.

Why does the UN exist?
The official answer: peace and development.
The game theory answer: to prevent the next Genghis Khan from emerging.
Every empire in history was conquered by a poor, hungry, unified people led by one visionary.
The Mongols had Genghis Khan. The Macedonians had Alexander. The Arabs had Muhammad.
The UN's job is to make sure that never happens again.
Schools. NGOs. Development aid. Not to lift people up. To keep them just developed enough to never unite.
That is the iron law of empire maintenance.
