Eric Adams’ administration is quietly moving ahead to relocate a city agency’s headquarters to a Wall Street tower owned by one of the mayor’s big donors. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/30/1...

New York Democrats have shown how bigoted they are by electing a typical Muslim as mayor.

they ask politicians like Mamdani if they are communists but they never ask anyone if they are a fascist and that's all you really need to know

🚫 What’s being cut: – NIH: –$19.5B – CDC: –$4B – Cancer research: –$3.1B – SNAP: –$30B – Education: –$12B 💰 What’s being funded: – ICE detention: +$45B – Tax cuts for the wealthy: +$4.5T over 10 years This is the trade.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

Ok that’s it this is a concerted group effort there is no denying it. The Dem establishment got together in a back room and said “how are we gonna stop this man from making change in the party he is too dangerously progressive and popular.” And then they all agreed “use the Jews.”

After mostly shrugging off Trump’s assault on government for the last five months, establishment Democrats have finally found something to be outraged about: Zohran Mamdani’s primary win.

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

people freaking out about zohran mamdani “making people feel unsafe” based on nothing meanwhile are totally silent about eric adams hanging out on stream with actual anti-semite nazi sneako

Accurate

@socialists.nyc , do your thing.

So not just trust fund kids living off their parents. www.michaellange.nyc/p/the-zohran...

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

I wonder how many times he sat in traffic and said to himself "I fucking hate this city".

Now that Mamdani won, centrists are saying he actually can be an effective mayor – but only if he abandons his political commitments. To his credit, Mamdani seems willing to hear anyone out. But I doubt he'll adopt Bloomberg's politics just to appease consultants who don't understand socialism.

I had not heard the Gillibrand comments and she not only doesn't push back on an islamophobic caller but repeats some smear that Zohran has supported calls for a global *jihad* while sounding like Marsha fucking Blackburn, there should be party-wide calls for her resignation.

For the first time in @nyc.streetsblog.org history we are members of the NYS Legislative Correspondents Association. Thanks to hand model Nick Reisman and videographer @eliseklinenews.bsky.social

This could get even funnier

On Tuesday, New Yorkers delivered a mandate for a Mayor who puts working people first and makes this city affordable for all.

It's time for NYC to leave NY. Why are we being ruled by upstate wasps?

Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas is considering a run for state Sen. Jessica Ramos' Senate seat, sources tell @cityandstateny.bsky.social: www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

Man, the FBI used to be way better at this.

Mamdani received many more first place votes than any other candidate on Tuesday. Here's why he only won because of ranked choice voting.

wait so the brilliant idea he woke up with this morning was just “give eric adams money”?? nypost.com/2025/06/25/b...

Relatives of Win Rozario, a 19-year-old shot to death by NYPD officers in his Queens home last year, are demanding Mayor Adams meet with them, saying his admin has for 15 months refused to provide any update on an internal probe into the incident. www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/25/f...

I am honored to receive the endorsement of the dean of our city’s congressional delegation, Representative Jerry Nadler. Jerry has been a principled progressive leader for decades and a champion for all New Yorkers. I am grateful for his partnership as our historic journey continues.

This is how Adams won, which is why all of his promises of bike, bus lanes, etc went out the window: he's not gonna piss off his constituency. The ONLY way for Mamdani to win was to significantly grow the turnout in the denser parts of the city (where turnout is usually low) He did exactly that.

Although we didn't discuss this, I found the color choices between the two campaigns to be interesting. Cuomo: red white & blue (American flag) Zohran: orange white & blue (NYC flag)
