Zohran Mamdani on his run for NYC mayor, taxing the rich and tackling hate head-on New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani discusses his vision for the city and his surprise win in last week's Democratic primary on Morning Edition.

I swear this man is channeling Obama vibes and I so love it. I miss messages of humanity, hope, and optimism spoken with vision and clarity and avoiding using blame or hate in order to win. THIS is the kind of politics we need more of.

Itโ€™s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: โ€œAlligator Alcatrazโ€โ€” but they canโ€™t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

It's amazing that in the last two administrations under the Donald, the only two major legislations passed by the Republicans are two huge tax cuts for the wealthy. Yet the conservative voters still continue to vote against their own interests.

With Medicaid being cut & since 1/3rd in FL are retirees does DeSantis have a plan for the upcoming crisis?
If a third in nursing homes are discharged, health care needs aside, FL has an immediate homeless crisis of giganic proportions.

IS FL PREPARED FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT GOD AWFUL BILL?

I canโ€™t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters arenโ€™t going after gang members. Theyโ€™re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.socialโ€”thank you for your words.

My heart is pounding as watch the attempted kidnapping of 2 girls close to the age of my granddaughter whoโ€™s half Hispanic. The gathering of people were not going to let these thugs take them.

An unprovoked bombing of a sovereign country.
Yeah, sounds like Nobel Peace Prize material to me.

Weโ€™ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonโ€™t share intel with us. Because people couldnโ€™t vote for a woman.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
