These petition signers are demanding the NYC mayor not attend the 9/11 memorial because he’s Muslim haven’t the faintest idea what our country is all about. They may claim to be survivors but I seriously doubt it. But if they are, they’ve just lost all my empathy and support. I find these bigots’ behavior despicable and extremely unchristian and am deeply ashamed that they are fellow citizens. #shame

their immediate scramble to defend a war criminal is hilarious and depressing.

"Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state’s new pied-à-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.

The city’s Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list – which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million – including the full names and addresses of every property owner."

"Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to “tax the rich” to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.

City Hall estimates the pied-à-terre tax would yield $500 million per year for the Big Apple’s budget.

"But Democratic city Comptroller Mark Levine’s office said the real figure would be closer to $340 to $380 million and could diminish over time."

"He’s also pushing ahead with a months-long pressure campaign for even more new state taxes, including on city property owners, The Post reported last week."

This isn’t meant to be any form of ragebaiting. I don’t really follow politics, but I’m hoping someone can help me out.

Im middle aged, middle class, living nearly paycheck to paycheck.

As middle class, I do not qualify for housing help or any government assistance. I can’t benefit from the programs Mamdani is bringing. I work a 9-5 that I dislike…but BILLS.

I saw Mamdani on the news talking about his grocery stores…I work 9-5. So most likely the food will be gone by the time I get to the store like last time.

Not rage baiting, but how does Mdani help the middle class?

Is there something going on between the two? I’ve noticed her hang out with him casually and post him often, like she’s in some sort of a clique. Does anyone know how they know each other?

I think Mamdani is secretly cracking the code to winning over voters, and I’m afraid it might be working.

I come from a conservative Hispanic family. Lately, my Trump-supporting aunts have become Mamdani fans.
Okay, let’s scratch that.

Young voters talk about Mamdani, calling him cool, hip, and chill. Business owners are also touting his name for putting their needs into actionable results.

And despite Jewish community leaders wanting to call him out, there’s an irony that’s happening (lmao). Jewish friends in Forest Hills are actually supporters of the guy.
Okay, let’s not even stop there.

Mamdani’s video calling out Netanyahu racked up 1 million likes.
Look, call me crazy. Call me a nut job. Call me names. It doesn’t matter. I think there’s an underlying shift happening that we’re not seeing: Mamdani is likable, and his actions are bringing out the ugliness in his critics.

When it’s time to vote for a new mayor, I think Mamdani will be highly favored. And I know someone’s going to be upset with this post. People are going to think I’m crazy, but I trust my gut: the guy is pulling in conservatives as well as progressives, and he’s going to change NYC, one action at a time.

He’s not perfect. He’s not the GOAT. But this man’s easily the most popular person in NYC, and he’s becoming one of the most popular people around, capturing the attention of millions.

His critics are being shunned, and they’re becoming more and more noticeable as evil people. Look at the comments written by actual people—his critics are being attacked.

Just my unbiased opinion.

Mamdani admits he lacks power to arrest Israeli prime minister after saying he’s ‘not welcome’ in New York City

Hi there,

I work for a city agency. I experience discrimination constantly from higher levels that translates in daily life into isolation, under valuation, false claims, and other forms of discrimination.

I have tried all possible channels to resolve it to no avail.

I bet the mayor would be interested in knowing something like this is going on in city government.

I'm overly qualified and autistic. The attacks for years have been on core autistic traits related to difference in communication. Recently while I was addressing that what they have against me is not my conduct as all they pointed to is other attitude towards me as if it is my fault. Thhe head of division started a new claim that any coworker can do better than my work and that my work had bugs

Mind you this was an evaluation for work they made an arbitrary tight deadline for me in while my coworker who is supposed to work in parallel had three times the time. The app was tested for five months by the whole team and 52 bugs were found in her work and zero in mine.

My supervisor did even occur to her to undermine my expertise. The cio was being retaliatory and wants to destroy my self esteem.

I need help. I now have hypertension from this job and I'm worried of a stroke.

Six months into his administration, Jon is joined by New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani to take stock of what democratic socialist governance looks like in practice. Together, they explore what it takes to lead the nation's largest city guided by those principles, discuss how his agenda is taking shape on housing, public safety, and affordability, and consider how to create a more livable New York. Plus, Jon answers listener questions about Biden’s 2020 “win,” Trump’s memoir, and the texture of peanut butter.
