Republicans wanted a civil war, they got it. This is our damn country and their cruelty is tired and we are done. We will rise in solidarity of a shared, abundant, kind future and we’ll beat their a**es because we will not surrender.

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social.
Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible.
That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

part of the genius of his major campaign ideas is that they can be deployed fairly quickly as tangible deliverables. they can help him build trust with voters as someone who does what he says he will do. and trust goes a long way!
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Trump trying to "pardon" Tina Peters on state convictions is one of the stupidest things he could do. No way the Governor of Colorado will release her and possibly set a precedent that the Fuhrer can pardon state convictions.

Bannon and Bondi know it’s breaking apart. They hoped starving the masses would have them turn even more racist and divided. Instead, the American people stepped up to feed each other. The appeal of racism fades when you can’t feed your family and Trump throws a gilded Great Gatsby party

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
