Entering month 6 of the Mamdani mayorship of NYC and Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, and Murder is down an astounding 21%.

And he did so without "Adding 5000 new cops" to the streets. Instead, he's invested in public safety with free childcare, accessible infrastructure, and better funded schools and libraries. He's proven once again that if we want safer communities, we must invest in People—not Punishments.

One more because I just remembered this. There's also elation, and perhaps you could read rapture into this too

علیِ عالیِ اعلی کہ در طوافِ درش
خرام بر فلک و پای بر زمین دارم

[akbar hassan @khatmal23]

One more for the final aspect. Happy bday to the biggest malang in the game 🤙🏽

غالبؔ نام آورم نام و نشانم مپرس

ارزندہ گوہری چو من اندر زمانہ نیست
خود را بہ خاکِ رہگذرِ حیدر افگنم

شمع ہوں تو بزم میں جا پاؤں غالبؔ کی طرح
بے محل اے مجلس آرائے نجف جلتا ہوں میں

There’s license for his own sins (I recognize this is facetious but idc)

مانعِ بادہ کشی نادان ہے لیکن اسدؔ
بے ولائے ساقئ کوثر کشیدن منع ہے

[akbar hassan @khatmal23]

There’s awe at stature of Maula Ali and recognition that he can never be understood

غالبؔ ہے رتبہ فہم تصور سے کچھ پرے
ہے عجزِ بندگی کہ علی کو خدا کہوں

طفیلِ اوست عالم غالباؔ دیگر نمی دانم
گر از خاکست آدم پای نام بوترابستی

[akbar hassan @khatmal23]

Whenever Ghalib addresses religion, it’s facetious 99% of the time. But when it comes to Maula Ali, there’s servitude and gratitude

غالبؔ ندیمِ دوست سے آتی ہے بوئے دوست
مشغولِ حق ہوں بندگئ بوتراب میں

اس چمن میں ریشہ داری جس نے سر کھینچا اسدؔ
تر زبانِ شکرِ لطفِ ساقیِ کوثر ہوا

A girl steals baby formula from a shop and goes to jail.
Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens.
THAT'S two tier justice...

@__Injaneb96 @mehdirhasan You, a zionist shill, have some nerve calling another belief system problematic. Your entire career rests on making apologies for Israel and its atrocities.

Bukhari (6576, 6585) and Muslim (2290, 2304): the Prophet stands at the Hawd, recognises his companions approaching, they are driven away, and he is told they changed after you. Multiple versions use irtaddu the Quranic term for apostasy (2:217, 47:25). Unambiguous.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

A brutal reminder: Not one person in this photo will ever apply for a job, scrape by on a wage, or fear the taxman.

They were born with a divine right to rule over you. You were born to fund their palaces, private jets, and security, generation after generation.

Your children and unborn grandchildren are already signed up as taxpayers so the kids in this picture never have to lift a finger.

This isn’t conspiracy. It’s the system working exactly as designed.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

@Harry_pitt The whipping up of Islamophobia by politicians and the media directly causes hate crimes such as the racist rape of a Sikh woman, which you and others say nothing about as you whip up that Islamophobia yourself.

[Andy Fitchet @AndyFitchet]

The constant banging on about DEI is an infuriating American import into the UK.

In the UK we call it EDI. And EDI training is essentially summed up like this:
‘Don’t be a knob to other people, and realise some people face barriers you don’t.’

It’s not some woke conspiracy.
