YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On this week’s ‘We’re Not Kidding’, Mehdi is joined by award-winning actor, activist, and Zeteo contributor Cynthia Nixon for an impassioned conversation about rising fascism under Donald Trump and the lawlessness of ICE, which Cynthia calls a “terrorist agency.”

Mehdi and Cynthia unpack Trump’s assault on US higher education, the ‘disappearings’ of international student activists, and the lack of opposition from the Democratic Party. They also discuss Israel’s renewed assault on Gaza and the lack of public outrage, particularly from liberals in the entertainment industry, as well as the whole Rachel Zegler/‘Snow White’ controversy.

Finally, Mehdi and Cynthia discuss the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor and the showdown between disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo and State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.
