@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is everywhere. But it didn't start that way.

There was a time when the mayoral front-runner was polling at 1%, tied literally with "Someone Else." Now he has an 80,000-strong army of volunteers, a killer social strategy, and the internet on his side.

The Big Interview:

Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor

Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

Benioff has shown his true colors. All of these tech bros are high on themselves. They could care less about their fellow man, Americans in general, the country, OR WHAT ENABLED THEIR SUCCESS! THAT WOULD BE WE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THEIR CRAP, SUPPORTED THEM, AND WHO ARE NOW BETRAYED BY THEM.

Good points. And protesting against ICE attacks is not an “uprising,” it’s self defense and defending against violent thugs.

Mark Jacob @markjacob.bsky.social · 5d

Dear media,
1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven.
2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

If State Farm is truly interested in being a good neighbor, it should be transparent and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Other insurance companies work with us on this, but State Farm has refused.

Without the data, homeowners have no assurance.

Somehow, someway, whether or not SCOTUS takes down the last pillar of the Voting Rights Act, no matter how many thugs DIPSHIT DON puts at the polls WE MUST PREVAIL IN 2026. Start now! Figure out how where you vote & be able to vote, to send these sons of bitches packing. Starting with this jerk.
