Dear Hiveans this week America's biggest city, New York, elected a new mayor, and they chose very badly. Their new mayor Zohran Mamdani is both a communist and a jihadist. He explicitly defended the "globalize the Intifada" movement, meaning he endorses terrorism, widespread violence including suicide bombings and military clashes, and the killing of Jews and "infidels". He defended Anwar al-Awlaki (al-Qaeda leader killed in 2011 U.S. drone strike) in social media posts and criticized FBI surveillance post-9/11. He refused to explicitly condemn Hasan Piker's 2025 remark that "America deserved 9/11". demanded to "defund the police" said that "violence is a social construct" and opposed incarceration of criminals calls himself a democratic socialist - which is an oxymoron. In socialism you have no democracy. But you get scarcity for all kinds of things and services, and you get hunger, torture, and mass murder, and walls that imprison you. https://images.hive.blog/1400x320/https://files.
