Il sindaco di New York Zohran Mamdani non si è limitato a condannare l’omicidio della donna a Minneapolis e a denunciare i “raid crudeli e disumani” di Trump contro i migranti.
Ha fatto di più.
Ha appena annunciato che la sua città non sosterrà né collaborerà in alcun modo con l’Immigration and Customs Enforcement, meglio noto come ICE.
Lo ha deciso dopo l’uccisione a sangue freddo della donna a Minneapolis e una quantità fuori scala di abusi, soprusi, violenze e rastrellamenti anticostituzionali della “polizia trumpiana” contro i migranti.
Tradotto? La polizia di New York non aiuterà l’ICE, non condividerà dati e risorse, non contribuirà in nessun modo a quelle che sono ormai vere persecuzioni razziali.
Revocati tutti gli ordini di collaborazione del precedente sindaco anche nel carcere di Rikers Island.
“Quando gli agenti dell’ICE attaccano gli immigrati, stanno attaccando ognuno di noi, in tutto il Paese.
Questa è una città che è e sarà sempre una città che difende gli immigrati, in tutti e cinque i distretti.
Non siamo qui per assistere gli agenti dell’ICE nel loro lavoro. Siamo qui per rispettare le leggi della città di New York”.
Ecco come si risponde a Trump coi fatti.
Non solo a parole.

Peter Beinart notes that Zohran Mamdani is under attack by "establishment Jewish organizations. And these attacks are really predictable and, honestly, they’re really brain-dead." These organizations are accusing Mamdani of antisemitism. In Beinart's view,
"It’s just nonsensical to equate Jewish New Yorkers as a group of people with the state of Israel."

Update. More evidence that the #Trump admin is using charges of #antisemitism as a pretext for suppressing protected speech, in particular, speech defending Palestinian rights or criticizing Israel's tactics in Gaza.

Update. " #Mamdani revokes #IHRA #antisemitism definition on day 1, amid broad rejection of Adams orders."

PS: This was the right move. I speak as a Jew who deplores antisemitism and supports Palestinian rights. The IHRA definition is a bad one and there are better ones. For my reasons, see the earlier posts in the present thread.
Analysis: "Zohran’s Millionaire Tax Will Raise Revenue"
"Worries about an exodus of millionaires from New York City are not supported by economics."
"Existing evidence makes Mamdani’s proposed increase look like a modest and conservative step in the right direction."
"We should be clear that opponents of the increase are the ones with fringe views."

Mamdani’s First Orders Focus on Housing and Undoing Adams’s Decisions

"Undoing Adam's Decisions"
See Labour, that's what you should have done on day one. Instead you took freebies and did whatever the Establishment wanted you to, and nobodies bills have come down and nobody feels any sort of 'change' even after 18 months.
If Labour don't ditch Starmer and make a serious turnaround then the UK will fall to fascism the next election.
You have to give people something to vote for.

Do we know if mamdani writes his own speeches? If not, who is or are the geniuses who wrote yesterday's speech? It was one for the ages.
Every portion of that Ceremony, those ceremonies were ugly sobbing beautiful.
Mandy Pwtankin and rhe public school choir, singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow?
The lives acknowledged, the PROOF poem! -- AOC, Bernie "Mittens" Sanders thanking New Yorkers for their determined courage and message of HOPE to America.
What wonderful day.
Superb. "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have employed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty." Boom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFsgXwn9SEI

@benroyce @nomdeb @georgetakei there isnt much real choice in American elections, it's either corporate-lobbied Democrats or corporate-lobbied Republicans. Tho, people like #Mamdani give hope.
