I started reporting this article weeks before the recent crackdowns on Minneapolis. It's important to remember that the nationwide organizing context of the uprising in Minneapolis right now is not just about protesting but mobilizing whole communities to protect the most vulnerable. #stopice

Your guest from the NY Daily News is incredibly condescending even as he struggles to say one positive thing about the candidate his paper endorsed. Also seemed to almost deliberately botch the pronunciation of Mamdani's name, even as his spiel seems entirely focused on attacking him. Sad.
