“I don’t believe in food stamps. People should just take care of each other without the government”
“How would they organize that?”
“We can all chip in proportioned to how wealthy we are and create some sort of entity with an elected body to do what the people want.”

We talk to our members on why they’re canvassing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and not falling for Cuomo’s bigoted attempts to divert us away from winning the safe, affordable and fun city we all deserve.

There is a term for when my fellow Jews pause on a brown Muslim mayoral candidate to deliberate what "will" he do, and what "did" he mean as a reason to vote for a white candidate --knowing-- what he DID and --knowing-- what he WILL do.
Bigotry. And it's bad for the Jews.

Cuomo on MAGA radio:
“God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?”
“He’d be cheering,” the host responds.
“That’s another problem.“ adds Cuomo after laughing.
We have no words.
What else can Cuomo add to his list of disqualifications for any NYC office?
