Mamdani’s 100-Day Rally, Stonewall Pride Flag Returns, and how the Escalating Tension Over the Strait of Hormuz May Impact the Global Economy.

from What's What

It has been over 100 days since Mayor Zorhan Mamdani took office. WFUV’s Sonia Weliwitigoda went to the commemoration in Queens and tells us about the new policies the Mayor plans for the rest of his term. The Stonewall National Monument can fly its pride flag again. It’s because of a court case that was decided today. The decision gives the National Parks Service seven days to permanently return the flag to Stonewall. The U.S. military has begun a blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions and putting a fragile week-old cease-fire at risk. WFUV’s Jay Doherty spoke with Matthew Huber, a geography professor at Syracuse University, to better understand what’s at stake.
