Spencer Ackerman’s New York State of Mind: Peace, Populism, and Zohran Mamdani | Ep. 250

Award-winning journalist, author, and lifelong New Yorker Spencer Ackerman joins the show to talk about the world from a New York point of view:

• The importance of NYC-DSA and the Zohran Mamdani mayoral campaign;

• How New York’s oligarchs used unfounded claims of anti-semitism to protect class privilege;

• ICE’s preparations to do mass extraordinary renditions;

• How Donald Trump’s presidency has become the Global War on Terror that he used to mock George W. Bush for; and

• Why US Central Command’s new viceroy inflates the Iran threat (it’s for Israel).
