BREAKING: LEADER! Mayor Zohran Mamdani enrages MAGA world by declaring on Fox News that abolishing ICE is actually an "acceptable" policy for "mainstream America." He went into the lion's den and came out grinning... “Look, I think the thing that is most acceptable to mainstream America is abolishing ICE and making sure we have humanity back in our immigration enforcement,” Mamdani said after Fox News’ Shannon Bream asked him to name a policy of the Democratic Socialists of America that most of the country would support. Mamdani is himself a member of DSA. The organization has drawn relentless smears from a right-wing media ecosystem that flies into a frothing rage at the sight of the word "socialist." In reality, the DSA is pushing for deeply popular policies like Medicare for All and the aforementioned ICE abolishment. And it must be abolished. ICE is completely out of control, gleefully serving as a jackbooted paramilitary force for a demented, pedophiliac President and his white nationalist chief of staff. These agents are undertrained, over-armed, and out for blood. Sexual abuse is rampant at their detention facilities. The entire agency needs to be ripped up by the roots. “And the thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, you know, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” asked Mamdani, referring to the blue tsunami. The interview was recorded last Wednesday and aired over the weekend. "And I think what we're seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis," he continued. "And last night's results show us that Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who've been bought by the wealthiest people in the country." This is one of Zohran's superpowers. Rather than getting dragged into litigating the term "socialism" or distracted by culture war issues, he laser-focuses on kitchen table issues. The status quo under Republicans is destroying working-class people. The DSA is offering a healthy alternative to financial collapse and people are more than willing to listen. "What we saw last night are candidates across the country, no matter how they describe themselves, running on policies that would transform working people's lives," Mayor Mamdani went on. "James Talarico ran on universal Pre-K. Annie Andrews ran on ending endless wars. Keisha Lance Bottoms ran on streamlining the production of affordable housing. Jocelyn Benson ran on a data center moratorium." "These are the kinds of things that also characterize what we've been doing right here in New York City," he added. And yes, I'm proud to be doing so as a mayor who's a member of the Democratic Socialists of America." Then came the lightning round. Bream, eager to secure a sound bite that proves Mamdani is a "far left lunatic" fired off several radical policies— "Okay, get rid of borders?" she asked. "No," said Mamdani. "Get rid of SCOTUS?" "No." "Get rid of jail?" she pressed. "No." "So.... Do you think DSA's gonna kick you out?" asked Bream. "No," said Mamdani, laughing. "It sounds like you're not aligned with some of the core things they really want to get done," she said. "You know, when you go into a room and there are more than one socialist in the room, you will often find disagreement in that room," said the mayor. "And what unites members of the Democratic Socialists of America is in many ways what has brought people into politics over the years, a belief in the dignity of working class people and the dignity that has to be a characteristic of their lives. And an understanding that democracy, for it to be meaningful, can't just be at the ballot box. It has to be in the rest of our lives, from the workplace to every other aspect of it. And that's why I'm excited to be a member and that's why I've been excited also to deliver for New Yorkers." This is how it's done, folks! Reports already indicate that Mamdani is working behind the scenes to urge a strong progressive to run in 2028 so that we don't get shackled to a corporatist, do-nothing Democrat. The future is blue! Please ❤️ and share if you love Zohran!
