There's deep anxiety among New York's elite that a win by Zohran Mamdani in November's mayoral race would lead to higher taxes and a subsequent exodus of wealthy residents from the five boroughs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/06/26/markets/mamdani-shock-wall-street/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #zohranmamdani #andrewcuomo #newyorkcity #newyork #wallstreet

#ZohranMamdani now has a good shot at being your next #NewYorkCity#Mayor

Something for you film buffs:

If you know the films

"Salaam Bombay!"
"Monsoon Wedding"
"Mississippi Masala" with #DenzelWashington
etc...

that's his mom, the director #MiraNair

and it's official:

#Cuomo concedes

now it's pretty much #Mamdani vs #Adams for #NewYorkCity#Mayor

this has national reverberations

there's going to be a lot of attention going into this race

and the centrists and the MAGA goons are going to get ugly and dirty

but this is a thunderbolt today

congratulations Zohran!

🥂 🎇
