It is okay to be Jewish.
It is okay to attend your local synagogue.
It is okay to celebrate Hannukah.
It is not okay to use white phosphorus on civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.
There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons.
North Korea and Israel.
One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide.
It isn't North Korea.
Taxing 50% of AI companies' stock to ensure that AI benefits humanity isn't radical, but let me tell you what is:
Since Trump was elected, the 7 richest men in America, all Big Tech oligarchs, became $1.15 trillion richer while 60% live paycheck to paycheck.
That's radical.
Boomers be like, “Just walk into the office and ask for a job.”
The office: locked
The recruiter: AI
The interview: automated
The job posting: fake
The rejection email: instant
Your data: sold
Mamdani is proving that everything Bernie Sanders wanted to do for the country as president really was possible. He wiped out a $12 Billion deficit, and no rich person died. Crazy how having a great politician can be good for the ppl
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
THEIR PRIORITIES AND OURS.
President Trump wants $500 billion more for the military for new weapons of destruction and endless wars.
Mayor Mamdani wants $22 billion to address the housing crisis in NYC and build 400,000 units of low income and affordable housing.
Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98%
Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4%
Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5%
Just thought I should point that out.
Mayor @ZohranKMamdani: Ronald Reagan famously said, 'the 9 most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."' I disagree. 9 more terrifying words are actually "I worked all day, and can't feed my family." We are going to use the power of government to lower prices and make it easier for New Yorkers to put food on the table.
Zohran Mamdani quoted Tupac Shakur when asked if he opposes the war in Iran:
"This war killed thousands of civilians, so yes, I strongly oppose it— Tupac said it decades ago, we always seem to have money for war but never to feed the poor."
This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years.
Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all.
People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.
You ever noticed that it’s socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money.”
150 billionaires in the UK have £700bn
Enough to build 2000 Hospitals
Enough to build 7m houses
Enough to pay every pension for 6 years
150 greedy little twats have this much money
Then they use the Media they own to say your pensions/benefits/healthcare are 'too expensive'
Capitalism is the problem.
Let me show you.
They won't build houses, because that's bad for rental income.
They won't build renewable energy, because that is bad for fossil fuel profits.
They won't provide Universal Healthcare, because Private Healthcare is so profitable.

"My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead."
"My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."
