DNC Marxism

In the runup to his election, Mamdani vowed to discontinue the sweeps of homeless encampments (City).

the grim toll of homeless deaths, now 16 and counting, has already shattered any illusion of a honeymoon. This is Mamdani’s baptism by tragedy, the 34-year-old nepo baby’s abrupt introduction to reality. The mirror tells the story: the crisis exposes his arrogance.

For forty years, every mayor understood the same hard truth — when temperatures drop, the city must act. Following Ed Koch’s lead, administrations required the homeless to take shelter or moved them indoors when they could not decide for themselves. As former mayor Rudy Giuliani put it: “The policy of NYC before, during, and after I was Mayor was to remove homeless from the streets when it approached freezing. The incumbent Mayor has changed that policy.”

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the opposition to programs that recognize bright, eager-to-learn kids and place them in special classes where they can excel and achieve great things.

Yes, the opposition is based on the fact that more white and Asian kids qualify for the special instruction than black kids, but instead of penalizing the “special” kids, why not work harder to uplift the black kids? It appears to me that no one in school districts that cite “white privilege” for why fewer black kids end up in these accelerated classes ever comes up with ideas to raise black kids up instead of holding other kids back.

Probably too much work.

New York’s Democratic Socialist Party Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks that these special programs that elevate some kids over others based on talent and gifts are an abomination and need to end. Catering to the lowest common denominator in education, the workplace, and government is how socialists keep everything nice and equal — equally mediocre, at least.

This was entirely predictable. New York City’s voters elected a Hamas supporting Communist as mayor. This is the result. Now that they have an ally in Gracie Mansion, New York City’s pro-Hamas citizens will most certainly escalate their attacks against New York City’s Jewish community. President Trump and AG Bondi will very likely have to intervene and provide protection for New York City’s Jewish citizens. Shame on every Jewish New Yorker who voted for Mamdani.

New York City is poised to significantly expand its sanctuary city policies after the City Council voted to override a veto blocking legislation that would prohibit federal immigration agents from operating inside city correctional facilities.

Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the Safer Sanctuary Act into law in the coming days.

The new law makes all 19 city-run correctional facilities, including Rikers Island, off-limits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The bill was introduced last year by Democrat Astoria Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

A recent investigative report by Newsweek has exposed troubling connections between the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — America’s largest socialist organization — and officials linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These revelations demand serious scrutiny because the DSA has achieved growing political influence in recent years. This influence reached a new peak with the 2025 election of longtime DSA member Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

The Newsweek report drew on dozens of internal DSA documents, including meeting minutes and presentation materials dating back to 2021. These records show the DSA’s international committee actively pursuing closer relations with CCP-affiliated entities, often framed as solidarity in the fight against “U.S. imperialism.” In one striking example from a 2025 meeting of the DSA China Working Group, a New York-based member stated: “China wants to interface with the DSA … If we develop a killer two-week itinerary, hire locals, and develop further connections with the CPC [Communist Party of China], then we’re golden.”

According to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, it does not matter what your nationality is, as the city will be funding universal child care for foreign nationals, despite it being put on the taxpayers’ dime. He added that, despite people breaking federal immigration laws, these families should still be afforded benefits that they likely don’t even get in their native country. It’s unclear when people like him will start putting the American people first, but as of the writing of this, they are dead last. But what else is new?

According to WABC:

The initiative expands on the city’s existing free pre-K and 3-K programs and begins with a pilot offering no-cost childcare for children under age 2 in high-need neighborhoods. City officials say the program is designed to help working families across New York City, with eligibility tied to residency and a child’s age – not a parent’s citizenship.

Under current guidelines, families can apply regardless of income or immigration status, a practice city leaders say aligns with how other universal programs are structured. Supporters argue the approach prevents children from being excluded from early education and allows parents to stay in the workforce.

… The verdict is already in.
Capital is mobile. Ideology is not.
And New York is learning too lat that markets always vote with their feet.

Trump calls NYSE Dallas expansion plans ‘unbelievably bad’ for New York

By Jan 19th, 2026

President Donald Trump blasted plans to expand the New York Stock Exchange to Dallas, calling the move “unbelievably bad” for New York and a failure of city leadership.

“Building a New York Stock Exchange in Dallas is an unbelievably bad thing for New York. I can’t believe they would let this happen,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. He added that the move posed a “big test” for New York’s newly inaugurated mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

The co-hosts of “The View” were exhilarated by the presence of newly inaugurated New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), but Whoopi Goldberg topped them all with her praise of his policies.

Mamdani was swept into office on the promise of higher rent controls and redistribution of wealth, but he also benefited from opposition that included a scandal-plagued former governor and an unpopular incumbent mayor.

Her comments were met with thunderous applause from the audience.

Blurb:

Less than three weeks after Zohran Mamdani’s rousing inauguration speech, his supporters are expressing concern over his administration’s first major compromise: the reappointment of Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, an architect of the New York Police Department’s repressive surveillance policing apparatus who has shown a willingness to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Opponents of Tisch’s role in the administration have been vocal since the decision was made to reappoint her on Nov. 19. In early December, a coalition of more than 120 organizations called on the mayor-elect to “drop Tisch,” citing a range of issues “from New York to Palestine.” They were joined by the Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys – UAW Local 2325, representing over 3,500 legal services workers in the New York City metro area, which published a statement urging Mamdani to “drop Tisch immediately.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed chief equity officer quietly deleted a social media account filled with radical rhetoric and racially charged attacks.

According to records reviewed by the New York Post, the powerful official, Afua Atta-Mensah, scrubbed her social media accounts clean just days before taking on one of the most powerful ideological roles in City Hall.

Atta-Mensah repeatedly used communist revolutionary language online, referred to others as “comrade,” and amplified far-left talking points, including claims that “there’s NO moderate way to black liberation.”

In the person of Zohran Mamdani, New York City is now captured by the Marxist-Islamist faction. The now-serving Mayor of New York has begun his tenure by appointing a Marxist, a self-appointed Democratic Socialist, to head the city’s Housing Department. Cea Weaver appears set to test the bounds of state authority over Federal authority, especially when it comes to how she is pledging to treat NY’s privately-owned housing.

The appointment is particularly concerning because Mamdani has pledged to freeze rents, expand the power of enforcement hearings, and bring in communist activists as bureaucrats to use lawfare to seize private property and convert it to communist property. Expect a report on Mamdani soon.

“SEIZE PRIVATE PROPERTY!”: Mamdani Appoints Communist Radical to Run Housing, Blasted Homeownership As ‘White Supremacy’ – gellerreport.com

If the goal was to euthanize New York real estate, Zohran Mamdani couldn’t have executed it more efficiently. His newly appointed tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, has a documented record of calling to “seize private property,” denouncing homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy,” and urging voters to “elect more communists.” These are not fringe comments—they are the ideology now embedded inside City Hall. Weaver, a Democratic Socialists of America activist and longtime Mamdani adviser, has openly attacked landlords, law enforcement, and the concept of private property itself, while helping push some of the most punitive rent laws in the city’s history. Pair that with Mamdani’s plan to freeze rents on one million apartments, expand enforcement hearings, and empower activist bureaucracies, and the message to investors, homeowners, and developers is unmistakable: get out. With City Hall openly hostile to ownership and capital, the only rational question left is not what to buy in NYC—but who, in their right mind, would buy here now?

Blurb:

Zohran Mamdani’s reign has begun, and that means promoting his socialist wants.

It also means trashing the idea of private property ownership, something he recently did when he visited a dilapidated, rent-controlled apartment building.


To be sure, that building was disgusting. I certainly wouldn’t want to live there, but there are consequences to placing price controls and mountains of regulations on landlords. Namely, it drains margins and makes it prohibitive to spend money on upkeep. There are also broader consequences when left-wing governance produces a city that is grossly unaffordable to live in, leaving the poorest with no choice but to reside in such abhorrent conditions, and property owners unable to provide anything better without going bankrupt.

Mamdani’s point was simple: Private landlords are evil and government-backed “affordable” housing is the way to go.

Blurb:

The Zohran is now the mayor of New York City, and one of his first matters of business was appointing a Communist who wants to seize private property as his, quote, director of the city’s Office to Protect Tenants. Meet Cea Weaver. She says private property should be part of the warm glow of collectivism as opposed to the rugged individualism of being allowed to own your own home, especially if you’re one of them white people.

It will mean families – especially WHITE FAMILIES – are going to have a different relationship to property than the one we currently have.

The streets are saying this clip is from a November 2022 podcast called “Cities After…,” and I know what you’re thinking. “Hey Brodigan, an adult in public policy can’t be expected to be held accountable for the words that came out of her mouth prior to five minutes ago. Also, I get all my news from CNN and have trouble tying my own shoes.”

In that case, you probably won’t be interested in these nuggets from her now deleted X account:

  • 2018: “Seize private property!”
  • 2019: “Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy.”
  • 2017: “Elect more communists.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) pledged to govern the Big Apple as a Democratic Socialist during his inauguration speech and declared he would revive “the era of big government.”

After taking the official oath of office with his left hand on a Quran at City Hall early Thursday morning, the newly minted 34-year-old mayor took a ceremonial oath of office from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the afternoon.

Mamdani vowed to hold to the radical views he pushed during his campaign against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

“We will transform the culture of City Hall from one of no to one of how. We will answer to all New Yorkers, not to any billionaire or oligarch who thinks they can buy our democracy,” he said. “We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe.”

“I was elected as a Democratic Socialist, and I will govern as a Democratic Socialist,” he added.

At least one House Democrat broke ranks to praise President Donald Trump after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro in a surprise overnight operation.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., hailed Maduro’s removal as overdue justice for Venezuelans who fled his regime, while warning that the mission must lead to lasting change.

“The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela’s people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule. However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows,” Wasserman Schultz wrote on X.
