I am listening and watching this brave person for the second time giving this speech and am so moved by his words and the emotional support by those surrounding him. It brings back memories of my Irish Catholic heritage when we gathered together to support one another. No difference here. As Jane Goodall would have said, no doubt, we are all sentient beings that have a right to live and thrive and serve as Zohran Mamdani will do quite well as the next Mayor of New York City.
Yes. Mamdani is a new generation of Democrats – finally. Protests are good, but protesters, Democrats in government, and the news media have not recognized the ongoing criminal felony insurrection led by Trump with Musk’s support. What’s happened in America is an insurrection by Trump, his administration, ICE agents, Republicans in Congress, and six justices on the Supreme Court. The insurrection started on January 6, 2021, and was planned in PROJECT 2025 to continue as planned in 2025. The authoritarian illegal war attacking Americans redefined as enemy combatants, is defined as a felony crime in federal law (18 U.S. Code § 2383) in language that is clear and easy to understand:
“Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
Ignorance drives the failure to recognize crimes and enforce the law which threatens democracy. The threat is supported by the weak and corrupt federal legal system. The weak federal legal system includes the corrupt Supreme Court which is now controlled by Trump and the wealthy. Will the weak federal legal system stop Trump? No. The states controlled by Democrats must act to stop Trump using the legal system in the states which is protected and given authorization by the Constitution.
From January 6, 2021, through 2024, the weak federal legal system enabled the illegal election of Trump who should have been convicted of the felony crime of insurrection and imprisoned. Trump should have been prevented from being on the ballot in 2024, but Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that prohibited him from holding office was not enforced by the corrupt Supreme Court. In 2025, Trump is exploiting the weak legal system to engage in his many illegal actions such as illegally ignoring court orders, illegally canceling funding authorized and directed for specific purpose by Congress, illegally creating and collecting tariffs, and illegally putting military into city streets with false claims of “fighting crime”. Trump has renamed the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of War, and is raging war against Democrat controlled states and cities.
Don’t listen to the news media to understand what happened to America, and why democracy is not working. “We the people must save democracy.
Read my new post to see how to get Democrats elected in 2028.
I'm one of the 90,000! Phone banking from California, and Jewish! (You can do this, too!) And I proudly wear a canvas bag that says "Jews for Zohran" with a drawing of a bagel, lox, etc, and "New Yorkers deserve the works" on it, put out by Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. I'm so hoping he'll win by double digits. He is my ray of hope in this slipping-towards-fascism country. Go, Zohran!
Zohran gives me hope. I hope and pray that he is elected the mayor of NYC by super supermajority vote, and it jolts the Democratic establishment, the genocide deniers.
The Democratic establishment takes bribes from the same war criminals as the Republicans. If you want to stop the corruption, you are going to have to show the American people concrete proof that both parties have sold them out. I have that proof. All you have to do is take the time to read it. Go to my Substack and read the introduction letter for a link for a free digital copy of my book: The Illusion of Justice. The corruption is blatant, documented, and plain for all to see.
I am an 82 year old lifetime Nee Yorker and although I now live in Delaware County, this is the man I would be voting for next Tuesday. We should all be thankful that truth and honesty can and will prevail next week over corruption and misogyny
Beautiful speech - and more people coming out of the shadows in Chicago: Hundreds and hundreds of neighbors signing up to protect our landscapers, construction workers, nannies, waitstaff, etc. Protecting our workers from a criminal secret gang of thugs who are kidnapping residents on orders by Trump and his Republican Party. Yes, ENOUGH! Together we are hauling up the morning, letting our lights shine ....
Candidate Mamdami made a beautiful appearance on the daily show with Jon Stewart last night. I urge everyone to watch it. he is truly walking in the light
He’s an honorable man and he will make an honorable mayor, something New York needs. I don’t live in New York but I wish all of you the best for a brighter more hopeful future.
I am a proud Canadian! 🇨🇦 This is a time where we all must stay brave and then some. We must stand up, speak, keep walking into the light - we must It is no surprise that we are deeply concerned with what is happening in the USA. Thank you for your leadership and your voice Michael Moore, and Zohran Mamdani! Thank you for all who stand for truth, democracy, decency, inclusion, basic human rights and a culture of kindness. Standing in the light with you! Stay Brave!
I love this speech. I have two comments: Instead of saying "Muslim man", I would suggest "a person who embraces Islam." Personhood, in my view should be first.... Second, there is NO ONE in Congress willing to publicly say they are atheist or that they don't believe in god (there are four Muslims in the House). That is truly a political death sentence. Why is that?
It just hurts my heart to see this happening. To see the hate thrown at this brave young man. I don't have any profound political message; only that I wish, right now, I lived in NYC so I could vote for him.
Maybe we should all be reading every page of a legit copy of the "Patriot Act" and then to speculate why Obama was so keen to perpetuate it's policies and be legislatively continued.

This is truely what America needs AT THIS TIME of the worst president AND FOLLOWERS. A common-sense/other than white, leader.
