“I came [to Mamdani’s inauguration] expecting a political coronation. But as I worked my way through the crowd, it felt closer to a collective recalibration—a moment to take stock of how ideas once dismissed as fringe, like openly taxing wealthy citizens, were now being voiced from the steps of City Hall without apology, and to wonder how much further the shift could go.”

I Came to See Mamdani’s First Big Speech as Mayor. I Found Something Else Entirely.

New York City is working through its feelings in real time.

The cartoon is astonishingly racist and also disrespectful of all New Yorkers. 9-11 is still not a joke. 🗽 and #MamdaniForMayor

Scary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS! (@[email protected])

Attached: 1 image Zohran Mamdani, who wants New Yorkers to be able to afford to survive, is the same color as terrorists who killed New Yorkers, so people should vote for the white candidate who actually did kill New Yorkers with his Covid policies, then covered it up. Islamophobia is a hell of a drug.

Elections Calendar | NYC Votes

Key dates and deadlines for NYC elections.

“Coverage of business involvement in the mayor’s race continues to focus on the executives — primarily in real estate and finance — who have poured money into the race, backing either former Gov. Andrew Cuomo or Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped out of the race Sunday. But in fact, most business leaders have moved on, believing that Mamdani will win and that it is time to create relationships with him.”

After Hochul’s Mamdani Endorsement, Trump Threatens New York Federal Funding | Common Dreams

"Threatening voters and cities over elections is what authoritarians do," said a progressive organizer after Trump threatened to withhold funding from NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins. Democrats refusing to support Mamdani are shooting their party in the foot.

Common Dreams

What an ass. 🙄

“The president is threatening to withhold federal funding from a U.S. city unless its local election goes his way.

Donald Trump warned Monday that he would stop ‘sending good money’ to New York City if it chose Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor—hours after the 33-year-old politico earned Governor Kathy Hochul’s critical endorsement.”
