thank God for Mamdani genuinely can you imagine how much worse this would be without his moral leadership. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say him running and winning saved the resurgent American left but god it did so much work for us and countered so much garbage.

mentioning an anodyne quote from the Talmud while announcing a plan to combat hate crimes and doing NYC retail politics by sitting in a sukkah or two is not a dogwhistle or a betrayal of his campaign volunteers or anything like that

the police and fbi do not solve crimes, or protect us, they create crimes.
the fbi groomed a child for two years until he was an adult so they could obtain more substantial charges and arranged for him to purchase a gun and ammo.
the lack of criticism by reporters is vile.

Federal prosecutors say 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud planned to commit a mass shooting at the Mall of America. They arrested him earlier this week after he purchased weapons allegedly to carry out the plot.
Alleged Mall of America attack plot details 'chilling' messages, support for ISIS
According to the charges, Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud was still in high school when he started messaging an unidentified person, saying he supported the terrorist group ISIS.

Every GOP lawmaker believes this, by the way. It's just that most aren't dumb enough to say it where it could get leaked in an election year.
Ken Paxton told Washington lobbyists he would support cuts to federal benefits according to leaked audio.
"Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending — you’re gonna have to do it. Or there is no solution. That’s just the reality. We have to suck it up."

My rabbi was there standing right next to Lander (a regular attendee of Lab/Shul services) and Zohran, nobody's more of a leftist in that group than him. I'm fucking incensed that "comrades" would do this shit tonight. He wants to support DSA but this type of stuff holds him back!

"Consensus building is liberal and therefore ineffectual, I care about actual results" is a fucking ridiculous thing to say, especially on an app owned by a mass murderer.

Maybe the most culturally connected I feel to Mayor Mamdani is that every single progressive Jew has also been called both a Zionist stooge and a Hamas stooge by people on opposite sides.
schrödinger's mayor: he is either a zionist stooge or a hamas stooge depending on which bunch of assholes are looking at him
over on Twitter, Instagram etc. there were always some people calling Mamdani “Zioran” etc. and claiming that he was controlled opposition, etc., but it seems like it got hypercharged after the rollout of the municipal plan to combat antisemitism & vague claims that it’s being used to fund Zionism

It'd be one thing if this were about an unrelated Israeli tragedy (say, the Munich Olympics massacre), but you simply cannot talk about 10/7 without, at the very least, touching on Israel's retaliation. To not do so would be playing into Israeli propaganda

Your water bill could be 67% higher simply because a corporation owns your water system.
A new analysis found households served by for-profit providers paid about $823 a year for drinking water in 2025.
Public-system households paid just $494.

Zohran Mamdani is living proof it is possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, and some antisemitic anti-Zionists AND some right-wing Zionists will never forgive him for that.
Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement.
"Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.
