  1. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTgH43GkjZL/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Mamdani confronts border czar
  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/EyesOnIce/s/WaMwMF0zcV More direct video of the Santa Ana, CA incident. My back was injured in the 2020 protests by one cop who full force tackled me in Santa Ana, and 5 cops tackled and arrested my darker skinned acquaintance at the same time (his charges were dismissed of course). We were literally just kneeling 80 feet away from the police line. Especially dangerous city to protest in imo.
  3. I was going to post the 21yo from Santa Ana too. I think this video is even more chilling and harrowing than the shooting imo, insanely enough. Couldn’t get the images out of my mind throughout the day with how inhumanly he was dragged away.
  4. I think this means you’re just a bad driver

  6. Since I have been willfully ignored with all other previous points that I have made and instead have been responded with cute phrases and change of subjects…I’ll bite this new one. Bethpage is not NYC. Mamdani did not order ICE to detain him. Mamdani and other NYC council members have already called for his immediate release. An emergency habeas petition had been filed to keep the worker in New York. I imagine there won’t be any feedback with the information I presented, just like with the previous ones, so what’s the new change of subject now?
  7. I’ve been lucky enough to work as a medical assistant/clinical coordinator for a psychiatrist for a little over a year now. It’s private practice, so just me, the psychiatrist, and the physician assistant. Along with seeing patients in the general sense, we also run TMS sessions and Spravato (esketamine) sessions with patients here. My main role is to run those sessions since I obviously have no part in the general patient therapy room. I still talk quite a bit with the TMS and Spravato patients as I run the session, though I know it’s not in my current professional role to actually deep dive hard and give them therapy etc… I keep it light and human. My main goal in getting hired here originally was to help with running the Spravato sessions, since eventually I want to become a psychedelic-assisted therapist one day (not a psychiatrist). As time went on and I got to know my boss more, I’ve really grown to have a brighter light on psychiatry, which I didn’t expect. My boss spends 30-60+ minutes with her general patients each session, focusing on psychodynamic therapy along with the medication management. There is quite a lot of deep diving with the person, and there tends to be a weeding out of new patient calls that want simple quick 5 minutes medication appointments (which plenty of other psychiatrists do anyway). My boss wants patients to really work for their progress, which is a refreshing perspective. Very level-headed, dignified, and confident person overall. It really is more about who the psychiatrist is as a person, not psychiatry itself I feel naive to say. Not sure if that really answers anything, but overall I still feel like there’s some tiny things missing here and there, but it’s much more respectable than I imagined. Work on yourself more than anything tbh and make sure you yourself are in check, that’s what patients really need.
  8. @Elliott 5D chess feels more like not acknowledging he isn’t mayor until January 1st, and that there was no follow up with how the NYPD is above the mayor etc.

  10. He isn’t mayor until January 1st… and I would argue doing all of that is green and what he is doing is actually yellow by meeting with Trump.
  11. You do realize he is not actually the mayor until January 1st, right?

  13. Mamdani appointed Lina Khan, like guyysss just hear him out a little🥺🤏
  14. Interesting!! I shall be doing lots of research on this, haven’t heard of him before so idk yet, thank youu
  15. The NYC mayor is literally just 1 dude vs the strong, resilient, highly cohesive and unified large community of the NYPD. 1 person vs 33,000+ NYPD members. That is literally a whole city amount of people within the city. An entire unique culture of its own you have to deeply understand first before arrogantly and hastily poking it with a stick. It’s a frat house man-child city. Research how de Blasio’s attempt went if you haven’t yet. It’s not that the mayor is powerless on paper, it’s that the NYPD can easily act independently, collectively, and visibly in ways a mayor cannot realistically punish. That’s real power. Even when they enact reform statues or disciplinary frameworks, the NYPD is still controlled by the Police Commissioner and union contracts yes… but de Blasio pushing chokehold bans and enhanced transparency were inconsistent and lenient because cultural resistance within the PD diluted and slowed policy implementation. Reforms passed by democratically elected leaders are frequently nullified by internal bureaucracy. It functions more like an autonomous administrative state. In 2014-2015, the PD dropped arrests for low-level offenses by 90% for weeks, ignored summonses, and temporarily stopped enforcing quality-of-life laws just because they disliked something the mayor said. Not even because of a policy change or contract dispute, petty stuff. An entire PD rebelled, and the mayor couldn’t punish them, fire them, or stop them. If ANY other city agency did that…heads would roll but NYPD shrugged. The incident in 2020 when they leaked his daughter’s personal information on the internet after she got arrested in the BLM protests…. They physically turned their back to the mayor at a funeral, etcetcetc. LAPD has a similar chokehold on their city. The NYPD is more powerful that NYC mayors because it openly defies elected leadership, humiliates the mayor publicly, retaliates personal family members of the mayor, and weaponizes unions without consequences. etcetcetc…come on now! This is nearly known worldwide that the NYPD is a different beast.
