Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil reunited with his wife and met his newborn son after being released from over 100 days in ICE detention. After flying from Louisiana to New Jersey, Khalil told reporters, “If they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine.” Khalil was the first arrested, on March 8. He is a legal permanent resident of the United States with a green card. His wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, a U.S. citizen, was eight months pregnant at the time. Mahmoud played a prominent role in the Palestine solidarity protests at Columbia University last spring. Watch a special report from Democracy Now! from the Newark Airport.

As New Yorkers head to the polls in the primaries for local elections this Tuesday, voters can use ranked-choice voting for up to five of their preferred candidates. We look at how the system works and especially what it could mean for two candidates who have cross-endorsed each other: Democratic Socialist State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani and City Comptroller Brad Lander. “It creates a coalition that will combine the forces of both of their supporters and give them a better chance of defeating Andrew Cuomo, who is the front-runner,” says John Tarleton, editor-in-chief of The Indypendent, which is closely following NYC’s mayoral election. He also describes the coalition of groups known as the DREAM coalition, which stands for “Don’t Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor,” and the scandals that drove the former New York governor to resign. Tarleton’s recent piece is headlined “Zohran Mamdani’s Path to Victory.”
