The thing I love about Mamdani is he redefines the meaning of "moderate."
Pundits define moderate as the person in the center of two polar positions that the pundits made up themselves.
For Mamdani, moderate is the person who considers the most people, who says the things that make the most sense.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

trump released the names of people who will "govern" and "rebuild" Gaza. White people in western liberal democracies, the same ones supporting israel, a white settler colonial apartheid ethnostate on its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, get to decide who governs Gaza.

BARTIROMO: Do you want President Trump to institute the Insurrection Act?
REP. GARBARINO: Maybe the only thing they can do is the Insurrection Act, but hopefully that's not the case. Having troops on the ground is not the best thing to do. It might be the last thing to do.

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.
