Local Ithacan, student organizer, and member of the Communist Party USA, Hannah Shvets (20) decisively defeated landlord and former factory CEO Gepe Zurenda in a hotly contested race for the Fifth Ward Common Council seat. Shvets was propelled to her seat by a growing coalition composed of labor unions, community organizations, and the numerous local formations of the progressive left. Ithaca, a Democratic stronghold, has long dealt with persistent wealth inequality, food insecurity, exorbitant housing prices (with resulting rampant homelessness), and an intensifying cost of living crisis. Democratic Party dominance, however, has done little to provide long-term solutions to these seemingly endemic problems. Many residents feel a lot of the explanation for this failure was embodied in Shvets' opponent. The Democratic Party leadership should be paying more attention to the progressive left and less towards Wall Street and AIPAC if they want future electoral success. |

More Alternate links: Google News | Twitter Meanwhile unpopular House Republican Elise Stefanik (R-NY), deprived of the prestigious position of US Ambassador to the UN promised to her by Dummkopf Trumpf, announced she is running for governor of the Empire State. One of the first things this unqualified harridan did was to attack NYS Governor Gov. Kathy Hochul for endorsing Muslim NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in her speech. That's all Republicans have: hate, hate, and more hate. Gov Hochul, her staff, and civic leaders have been preparing contingency plans should Dummkopf Trumpf illegally deploy the Army National Guard to occupy NYC. Mazel Tov, Hannah. The Communist Party of Israel is referred to by its Hebrew abbreviation "Maki." Good on 'ya.
