Heyy all new followers! I guess an introduction is in order:

I'm a final year undergrad student in the religious studies program at York University. I am interested in the critical study of the “Religion, Religions, Religious” (iykyk).

I think the ”super radical” takes that Mamdani is a counter revolutionary phenomenon are extremely tired arm chair shit

Also he is gonna be Mayor of NYC so anyone who was expecting him to lead the revolution either works for the NY Post or doesn’t understand the system or both

Volunteered to pack some whistles tonight. Planning to distribute a bunch of these to my local mini libraries.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Can't stop thinking about the fact that the government is literally slashing public service jobs while bringing in AI for use in the public service.

They are literally doing, as a government, what we scream at tech bros for doing to their employees.

Pretty gross!

Al-hamdulillah!! A start of a revolution!
Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, won the New York City mayoral race, capping a meteoric rise from a little-known state lawmaker to one of the country's most visible Democratic figures. Follow our live coverage: reut.rs/4oUFCPL

THIS is how you run political campaign. On the ground, with the people. Not getting millions from capitalists while you sit far above the people in your luxury home.
When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.

Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.

In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.

We just passed three.

Any self respecting, politically aware human would know that whoever Trump and Musk are supporting is definitely not the right choice.
The choice is clear as day: Trump and Musk for Cuomo vs. our campaign for change.

1. ​The NYPD spends $11 BILLION annually in total public funds.

2.​ To make EVERY bus ride FREE for every resident would only cost $708 MILLION.

3. ​The additional cost for UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE for every child in the city would be less than $2 BILLION.

So yes, I'm certain he can deliver.
It’s election day in New York, and Zohran Mamdani looks set to beat Andrew Cuomo to become the city's first Muslim socialist mayor. Mamdani has captured imaginations with his wild promises of rent freezes, free buses and free universal child care. Can he deliver?

This a why a true leader looks like. A servant of the people, not a power abusing tyrant.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Fourteen years later, I *still* think one of the best ways for us to repudiate Cheney's legacy of torture would be to recognize and honor the courageous soldiers and public servants who exposed the torture policies and tried to end them. www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/o...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.
