Excerpt: " 'Yesterday, #WhiteSupremacist #JakeLang organized a protest outside #GracieMansion rooted in #bigotry and #racism. Such hate has no place in New York City,' #ZorhanMamdani said. 'It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a #protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.' "

To celebrate the victory of #ZorhanMamdani in NYC, I’ve been having a small film festival with films made by his mother, #MiraNair. I saw Queen of Katwe and Mississippi Masala when they came out, and I just watched Monsoon Wedding.

And, wow, I was FLOORED by a subplot involving a pedophile character with strong parallels to #Epstein — the way both used money to lure people in, exploit them, and buy their silence.

A 25-year-old movie that hasn’t aged a bit. Fun! Recommended! But a big CW.

Excerpt: "Boston Mayor #MichelleWu — whom Mamdani has called a role model — recently chastised executives for complaining about the tax. She contends that the region’s talent pool and livability are more important to its economic competitiveness.

"Many high-income taxpayers are staying in the Boston area despite the tax hike."

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts

A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state.
