This is Endorsement #11 — for Nida Allam, running for Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District (NC‑04).
She’s a Durham County Commissioner and the first Muslim woman ever elected in North Carolina, running a grassroots, no–corporate‑PAC campaign for working families.
Why this endorsement
- Working‑class focus. Housing, wages, public schools, and healthcare at the center of the platform.
- Bold progressive agenda. Medicare for All, climate action, reproductive justice, and an anti‑war foreign policy.
- Movement over money. A local, immigrant‑family candidate powered by small donors and organizers, not billionaires.
If that sounds like your politics, chip in, volunteer, or share her campaign at nidaallam.com.

A fun mix this round — a true‑story crime ride, a stunt‑heavy blockbuster, a tense manhunt, and a larger‑than‑life music biopic.
A pilot gets recruited into CIA work and winds up in over his head — covert ops, cartel money, and consequences.
A stuntman gets pulled into a mystery with real stakes — big action, movie‑making chaos, and a surprisingly sweet core.
A father and son tied to an anti‑government ideology spiral into a standoff and a manhunt — tense, grim, and very current.
A high‑energy biopic that frames Elvis through fame, exploitation, and American culture — maximalist, loud, and hard to look away from.
11 Dec 2025 Reading time: 1 minute Quick spotlight on a group keeping New Yorkers fed, not food wasted.
What is City Harvest?
City Harvest is New York City’s first and largest food rescue organization. They move surplus, good food from restaurants, groceries, farms, and manufacturers to food pantries, soup kitchens, and community partners across the city.
Why I like recommending them
- Local and concrete. Directly serves New Yorkers.
- Food waste + hunger. Uses food that would otherwise be thrown away to feed neighbors.
- Enivronmental. Saving this food saves tons of emissions every year.
How to support
They also have ways to volunteer, fundraise, and start food drives if you want to plug in beyond a one‑time donation.

This is Endorsement #10 — for Brad Lander, running for Congress in New York’s 10th Congressional District (NY‑10).
In the Democratic primary for mayor this year, I ranked him second on my ballot — and I’m still excited to see him in this race.
He’s a long‑time organizer, housing advocate, and NYC Comptroller with a real record on affordability, tenants’ rights, and good government.
Why this endorsement
- Serious about the work. Decades of organizing and governing, not just vibes.
- Affordability + democracy. A campaign that connects economic fairness in NYC to fighting an increasingly authoritarian right.
- Real contrast with Dan Goldman. I’ve been disappointed by Goldman’s record in this seat — too often on the establishment, status‑quo side when it comes to accountability and foreign policy. Lander would be a clearer, more pro‑worker, movement‑aligned voice here.
If that mix — experienced, pro‑worker, and willing to fight this moment — resonates with you, consider chipping in above.
