Meet Zohran Mamdani: https://www.zohranfornyc.com/ He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and a current candidate for the Mayor of New York City. This election is significant because he managed to close the polling gap between him and Cuomo by a significant margin. He used to be behind Cuomo 30+ points in the polls and now is now behind less than 10% points in the most recent polls. Even Vaush thinks that this guy is a genuine socialist and not a social-democrat, as he wants to create more city and employee owned enterprises in NYC, such as and most notably, grocery stores. If he actually wins this, it will be a huge victory for the socialist movement in America. A member of the DSA being the mayor of one of the most iconic and economically significant cities in the world? Eugene V. Debs would be so proud. But this is precisely why all of the centrist corporate wall street Dems, and have all endorsed Cuomo, despite him being shockingly bad due to his past sex abuse scandals and corruption. Cuomo is only popular because of his name recognition, and he is very well established in the Democratic Party's corrupt senior leadership, so the dinosaurs who make up that leadership don't want to see one of their chess pieces fall. For the centrist libs, maintaining their positions of authority, enriching themselves through corruption, and serving corporate interests is more important to them than serving the poor, which is why all of the big moneyed interests have donated to Cuomo's Fix the City Super PAC, including: Billionaires: Stavros Niarchos, Alex Blavatnik, Peter Schoenfeld, Henry Swieca, Bill Ackman, Barry Diller, John B. Hess, Matt Hulsizer, Kenneth Langone, William Lauder, Daniel Loeb, Deborah Simon, Alice Walton, Dan Loeb, Glenn Dubin, and Emma Bloomberg. Other high-profile donors: Billy Joel, Michael Kors, Stacey Bendet, Beth Dozoretz, Laurie Tisch, Antonio Weiss, Abby Levy, Jessica Seinfeld, Peggy Drexler, Jill Kargman, and Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel. Corporations and Organizations: DoorDash Inc., Fisher Brothers Management Company, The Durst Organization, Halmar International, Lyft, Including RXR Acquisition Corp, Centerview Partners, Charter Communications, and SkyBridge Capital.

Zohran won, now what?

The idea is that in GTA, the player can do things in a virtual urban setting that they can’t do in a real one. That being, committing crimes and such. Technically you can do that in any urban setting, but there are consequences of course. So GTA exists to simulate that without the consequences.

I wonder how he feels about a socialist in particular being elected to this important of an office, given his past statements about socialism, and his thoughts about what this means for the future of American socialism.

Allah, New York, and Zohran! https://www.tiktok.com/@sarki_yasin/video/7569075498979036471?lang=en

I'm not a Muslim, but... ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ (Alhamdulillah | lit: praise be to God)

This is a massive victory for the proletariat, and for the broader socialist movement. Socialism used to be a slur in American politics, and now candidates are openly running as socialists and winning. A socialist, who openly supports seizing the means of production, and is a member of the DSA, is now the mayor of America's largest and most economic, metropolitan city. Establishment centrist Democrats who take large sums from donors can go to hell.

WE DID IT ITS OFFICIAL MAMDANI WON!!!!! SOCIALISM WON!

Are you referring to today's (November 4, 2025) elections? If you've never voted before, Leo's conscious politics series is a good place to start, but ultimately you have to dedicate yourself to reading high quality political books first.

Today's the big day!

One day away everyone!

A lot of Muslim immigrants don't properly integrate to first world values and customs, so this sort of backlash is to be expected.

Alright, I completely disagree with your take on wine. Wine is amazing and I love it. I went on a wine tasting tour and I loved it. Also, America psycho was mentioned!!!!11!!! Yes! I love that movie!

Where's Waldo? What? This looks so uncanny.

We did it!

A combination of Federal workers not being paid due to the shutdown, and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program | It's a government program to help people who cannot afford food) being cancelled and not delivered due to the shutdown has created a spike in people reaching out to food banks for essentials, such as diapers, baby formula, and other essentials. It's estimated that just yesterday, 1.4 million federal workers were not paid. That's the tragedy of this shutdown, politicians are playing with people's lives. The paychecks of congress are not being withheld, but the workers who have mortgages, tuition, car payments, and others are being withheld.

In my experience, you can drastically help this situation by moving to a city with an abundance of people. Try living in Europe.

I used to volunteer at a Christian food bank / charity. Maybe I should go back for a few days until this shutdown ends. Just as a kind gesture.

$400 million for a ballroom while the most vulnerable starve. Literally Marie Antoinette sh*t.

That is beautiful. I have been involved in a Buddhist order for quite a while, doing retreats here and there but then going back to my regular life. I do intend to become a monk for a year or two, eventually. Any advice before I do this? What books should I read? Did you attain anything? As in enlightenment.
