(I know Hochul's never been in the vicinity of the Left but Mamdani is allegedly DSA-tier)

Alternate headline: Muslim mayor of NYC begs Trump for counterterrorism funds because of 9/11, inveighs against defunding the police

Counterterrorism funds were not famously used to brutalize Muslim NYC-ers

Weaponizing the smears against us for wanting to abolish the US police, which got watered down into wanting to defund them. This is the same tier of political literacy as calling Trump gay for Putler or Hegseth woke and trans-affirming for wanting to give aspiring war criminals testosterone shots

I will never live down the period where I thought Mamdani could be better. God. Fuck. I thought the person on hexbear who told me last year that fake socialists winning elections would be a disaster for the left was an ultra; turns out 'twas I who was wrong.
