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.

Finally, the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor is
underway and Cynthia has some strong opinions about two of the
candidates. First, there's former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
(Cynthia's former opponent from the 2018 gubernatorial race)
who's currently polling first even though he resigned from office
in disgrace amidst multiple scandals. Then, there's New York
State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani who's running a progressive
and grassroots campaign and has not had to resign from office in
disgrace due to multiple scandals. Listen now to find out which
candidate Cynthia prefers!
