Mamdani wants to fine landlords who can’t immediately fix “dangerous conditions”, and if the city has to step in and make the repairs, they’ll take over the building if the landlord can’t pay them back. Except Mamdani is also pushing for a rent freeze, and most landlords rely on rent increases to pay for those repairs. So if they can’t raise rent and can’t afford to repay the city, they lose their buildings. That’s how you slowly turn private property into government housing. Call it what it is: a step toward communism. 👇

This isn’t what “losing” a child means. The only thing that is “lost” is the unfair, socially-created expectations in the parent’s mind. If you as a parent need some time to mourn that loss, you do it privately away from your kid, & then you love them & act like a fucking adult.

One thing some people may not realize is that Hochul removing Adams now (or for next few weeks) would really undermine Zohran’s entire campaign bc it would trigger an earlier, non-partisan special election. He’s calling for it anyway bc it is the right thing to do for our city.

For the record, Zohran has defended pro-Palestine protesters and condemned the NYPD’s brutal tactics against them on multiple occasions. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
The NYPD violently manhandled protesters yesterday in my district—this is unacceptable. It’s also emblematic of how the NYPD has systematically cracked down on pro-Palestine protests across NYC—arresting minors and physically assaulting protesters.

Completely wrong. AOC’s endorsement would still be immensely beneficial to Zohran among lower attention voters.
No, the reality of this race is she missed the window to matter. There are 0 AOC fans on the fence about Zohran. In April she could have said "no Cuomo for mayor" and raised $1m for an IE against him. She toured America with Bernie instead. She owns this if Cuomo wins.
