Rosa Luxemburg NYC

Green capitalism won't fix the climate crisis, Ulrich Brand and Markus Wissen argue. It speeds up the fight over resources and feeds the far right. Brand talks through his book Capitalism at the Limit with Suzanne Schneider from @brooklyninstitute.bsky.social on Oct 15, 5 pm ET, online.

Our call for case stories on Non-Economic Loss and Damage is extended to October 7. Climate loss and damage gets argued over in dollars, and whatever can't be priced (health, culture, heritage, the right to stay in a place) drops out. We want to tell these stories.

Join us for a discussion of Backlash: The Global Rise of the Radical Right! With Federico Finchelstein, Don Kalb, Don Nonini, Svati Shah, Marc Edelman and Walden F. Bello.

@dielinkeberlin.bsky.social just became the strongest party in Berlin for the first time in its history: 25.7 percent, more than double their 2023 result. Part of that came from New York, where our office has spent the past year building ties between German and American politicians on the left.

Our call for case stories on Non-Economic Loss & Damage is out now and closes Sep 30. We're looking for documented, non-financial climate losses (to health, mobility, culture, and heritage) from RLS partners and networks in the Global South.

Mamdani promised public grocery stores as a candidate. Now the city's building five, one per borough. First up this year: La Marqueta in East Harlem and Hunts Point, run through a private operator instead of full public ownership.

Through the lens of the herbarium, Claudia Horn illuminates the connections between the study of flora, the naturalist movement, and the plantation economy, showing that the decolonization of botany and global environmental justice are both possible and necessary.

Better known for her revolutionary politics, Rosa Luxemburg was also an avid botanist. Between 1913 and 1918, even while incarcerated in Poland and Germany for her anti-war organizing, she collected plants sent to her by friends or found in the prison grounds.

When 34-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won NYC’s mayoral race last year, his election was described as a “political earthquake.” If the metaphor is apt, then the city’s Dem primaries were a series of powerful aftershocks. @nickfrenchnyc.bsky.social has analyzed the results for us.

The institutional heft of Dem Party leaders like Espaillat and Velázquez and their loyal union backers was shown to be built on sand. Their attempts to mobilize voters were positively feeble in the face of the mayor’s star power and @demsocialists.bsky.social’s fierce door-knocking operation.

@socialists.nyc has shown itself to be a durable and increasingly powerful political machine, notching more election victories cycle after cycle, and proving its ability to do so on an ever-larger scale.

The Israel lobby unleashed a flood of campaign $ in an attempt to defeat vocal pro-Palestine candidates. A similar strategy seemed to work for them in 2024, when AIPAC-backed challengers unseated democratic socialist Congress members @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social and @coribush.bsky.social.

In Upper Manhattan’s Thirteenth District, @darializaforny.bsky.social narrowly knocked off five-term incumbent and Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat.
