What do Democratic Socialist victories mean for NJ?

In our effort to #UnderstandMamdani, now that he has been elected #MayorMamdani, we will be expanding the scope of what we publish here.

New Jersey is not New York...as residents of either state will be happy to confirm. So the success of two members of Democratic Socialists of Americain Jersey City -- at the same political moment in which #ZohranMamdani secured his spectacular (and only recently predictable) win -- is an indication that something larger is going on in the politics of the region...maybe even in the politics of the nation.

#ZohranMamdani has posted an Instagram announcing the decision about where he and his wife will live once he is sworn in as #MayorMamdani:

Gracie Mansion

Given the level of elevated security concerns raised by the first Muslim mayor (and a socialist to boot) this decision was by far the likeliest. Any attempt to secure an apartment building in Astoria, Queens was sure to impose hardships on neighbors.

As the picture shows, Mamdani made the announcement in about as whimsical a way as possible.

Know Your Rights When Dealing With ICE

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

In a brief video #ZohranMamdani, soon to be #MayorMamdani, goes over some basics that everyone who finds themselves dealing with ICE shouild know.

The Name Is Mamdani

Songify NYC

I suppose this Hamiltonization was inevitable...

Did Zohran Kill Dimes Square?

This Substack post by Ross Barkan is available in full only to paid subscribers. Still, the few paragraphs that are readable by all are enough to give you an idea of where it is going: #ZohranMamdani is having an impact even among the culturati.

Mamdani and the media: From slugfest to lovefest

France 24 English takes a look at how mainstream American media have treated #ZohranMamdani

Since he has so decisively been elected #MayorMamdani we can expect that they will learn some lessons, make some adjustments...but it is probably too much to expect that they will learn the right lessons, make the appropriate adjustments.

They will only gradually, perhaps only retrospectively, learn to #UnderstandMamdani
