This is the exact opposite of what Mamdani ran on.
He promised to arrest Netanyahu. Now Netanyahu is escorted to the UN by his NYPD while that same NYPD arrests people protesting him, including politicians endorsed by Mamdani.
And we’re supposed to treat their arrests as resistance without asking the obvious question: why is Mamdani’s NYPD arresting them in the first place? What are they doing to hold him accountable for that publicly?
Mamdani chose to keep Jessica Tisch. If his administration opposes these arrests, he has power over NYPD policy and leadership. Demand that he use it.
Instead, people keep peddling this fiction that Mamdani is powerless and his hands are tied. If his own supporters preemptively excuse him from using the powers he does have, what incentive is there to fight to fulfill the promise they elected him on?
Meanwhile the pro-Israel establishment will continue demanding concession after concession.
Why would any elected official take protest movements or their demands seriously if even when their preferred candidate takes power, they refuse to pressure him to use it?
We went from “arrest Netanyahu” to arresting the people protesting Netanyahu.
Posting this as his police force brutalizes anti-Netanyahu protestors is a perfect example of how he exploits Palestinian symbolism to hide his complicity in Zionism.
Ok if we’re just throwing around 9/11 proportions this man did conservatively 5,500+ 9/11s in Gaza.
And that doesn’t even account for 80+% of the buildings destroyed nor the thousands kidnapped and tortured by Israel.
This is kind of tongue in cheek but this is actually part of the plan. Make it so impossible to afford to live that all you can do is focus on just barely surviving while they pick your pockets.
This cartoon followed a horrific public electrocution of a Manhattan lineman, one of many deaths by a dense canopy of unregulated high-voltage lines.
The resulting regulation and burial of the lines was highly successful and why you think electricity is effortlessly safe today.
A more brave front office would’ve moved granny to food prep years ago and switched to a solid platoon system of aunts and picked up a few daughter-in-law‘s in free agency.
