A Syrian national faces terror charges over his involvement in a plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert last year.

The accused, known as “Mohammad A” in the legal documentation, is accused of being part of at least one Islamist group, helping them develop the terror plan to attack the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna.

The plot led to the precautionary cancellation of all three of U.S. entertainer Swift’s shows in the Austrian capital.

Germany’s federal public prosecutor described Mohammad A as having

adhered since April 2024 at the latest to the ideology of the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS) …. Between mid-July and August 2024, he was in contact with a young adult from Austria who was planning a bomb attack on a concert by singer Taylor Swift.

Now Mohammad A stands accused of helping the main suspect in the case translate bomb-making instructions from Arabic and providing him with the text for an oath of allegiance to join IS. Other charges relate to contacting an overseas member of IS online.

The planned bloodbath at the concert fits part of a wider pattern of jihadis and nihilists—alarmed at the idea of girls and young women having fun—targeting children at Swift’s events or, similarly, Arina Grande fans in the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017.

A school play depicting an honour killing has sparked outrage in the Swiss town of Neuhausen, where nearly half the population are foreign nationals.

The performance, staged by third- and fourth-grade pupils at a local multicultural primary school, featured a husband murdering his wife for rejecting his religious fanaticism.

In the play, the man stabs her with an imaginary knife, declaring, “No one will ever speak badly about my God again,” before praying for her resurrection.

The performance was presented to an audience of around 80 people. At the time, the supervising teacher was away for training.

One of the parents, local politician Nina Schärrer, whose daughter attends the school, strongly criticised the production. “How can a religiously motivated femicide be given a stage like this—and not be explained afterwards?” she asked.

School principal Christian Schenk acknowledged in a letter to parents that the content was inappropriate and that intervention came too late. He expressed regret but could not clarify who approved the script.

The incident has sparked intense debate in the multicultural town of Neuhausen, where 45% of residents are foreign nationals.

According to the Bavarian Ministry of Education, nearly one in five preschool children in Bavaria is required to attend compulsory German language courses before starting school.

A recent statewide assessment revealed that roughly 18?% of the nearly 130,000 children who will start school in the 2026/27 semester demonstrated insufficient German language skills.

The initiative to test the children is part of Bavaria’s newly implemented “language proficiency screening,” aimed at reducing educational disadvantages and enhancing social integration.

Education Minister Anna Stolz emphasized that “language is the key to educational success and social participation.”

A similar test was recently conducted among first-graders, which concluded with the shocking revelation that one in three children are unable to speak German well enough to attend classes.

The results are part of a wider problem in Germany: the massive scale of immigration combined with a lack of integration has resulted in a growing number of children unable to follow classes.

Zohran Mamdani is a 33-year-old New York State Assembly member from Astoria, Queens (Assembly District 36), the son of the academic Mahmood Mamdani and the movie director Mira Nair. Following a short-lived career as a rap musician, he emerged as a leading candidate in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary in 2025, running as a Democratic Socialist with a sweepingly left-wing platform. Mamdani’s campaign focused on economic policies: he vowed to freeze rents, establish city-run grocery stores, expand free childcare and transit, push a US$30 minimum wage, and replace traditional policing with a “Department of Community Safety.”

Mamdani quickly garnered support from prominent progressive figures and organisations. Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed him with the explicit aim of blocking former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s comeback bid. Cuomo, who entered the mayoral race following his 2021 resignation as governor, is Mamdani’s chief rival. Mamdani was also backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and allied leftist groups; US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also lent him her support. Meanwhile, the Democratic establishment coalesced behind Cuomo: Michael Bloomberg endorsed the ex-governor, as did many labour unions and centrist Democrats.

On 24 June, Mamdani shocked political commentators by finishing first in the primary, ahead of a crowded field, winning roughly 43.5 percent of first-choice votes, while Cuomo trailed at about 36 percent. Cuomo conceded on election night, as soon as the votes had been counted. The result was a political earthquake: Mamdani, a second-term assemblyman from Queens, had defeated a former governor and scion of a New York political dynasty. He is now the Democratic nominee for mayor, making him the overwhelming favourite to win the mayoral election in deep-blue New York City.

brutally murdered by Mohammed—“in the name of Allah”—in front of his children’s school. There was no minute of silence or national tribute for him. His widow has just learned with horror that her husband’s murderer will not be tried because he has been deemed “mentally unfit to stand trial.”

On May 10th, 2022, Alban Gervaise went to pick up his two children, aged 3 and 7, from a Catholic school in Marseille, accompanied by his youngest daughter, who was then 20 months old. The military doctor was attacked by a madman who stabbed him repeatedly while shouting “Allah Akbar.” He succumbed to his injuries about ten days later.

The brutal murder of Alban Gervaise did not interest the media. A few rare media outlets reported the death of this man “wounded in the throat”—they preferred not to mention that his throat had been slit. A Catholic, a soldier, a husband, and a father, Alban Gervaise was not entitled to a public tribute. The military claimed that his wife had refused to publicise the case, which she vehemently denied. But the public silence surrounding the case suited many people. For Alban’s military friends, “this media silence is a second death.”

The Supreme Court on Friday handed a major win to the Trump administration by allowing it to take steps to implement its proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship.

In a 6-3 vote, the court granted a request by the Trump administration to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions imposed by judges so that they apply only to states, groups and individuals that sued. That means the birthright citizenship proposal can likely move forward at least in part in the states that challenged it as well as those that did not.

The ruling immediately sparked a response from plaintiffs who have sued to block the executive order, with their lawyers vowing to continue the legal fight.

It has long been widely accepted, including by legal scholars on left and right, that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment confers automatic citizenship to almost anyone born in the United States.

But they were wrong. It was designed to give citizenship to freed slaves after the Civil War, not foreigners pursuing anchor babies.

The Denver City Council has voted unanimously to shutter a highly successful anti-theft auto license plate tracking system. The system was not closed due to concerns about privacy or finances. It was shut down because Democratic members believed that ICE could use the data to deport illegals.

In May, the council refused to renew the $666,000 contract with Flock for camera monitors around 70 Denver intersections to screen for car theft.

That system resulted in the recovery of 170 stolen cars and 300 arrests. It is also credited with key evidence in the investigation of hit-and-run and murder cases.

However, it could also be used to assist ICE, and that is all that matters.

Here’s how it’s so easy to identify the national media as liberal Democrats: They hate “moderate” Democrats. They love moderate Republicans. They despise disunity in their party, and love to fester disunity in the Other Party.

This week, we’ve witnessed an outpouring of love for Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, whom the Institute for Legislative Analysis evaluated as voting for limited government just 37 percent of the time in 2024. These journalists loathed “centrist” Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin or even Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.

Murkowski is selling a new book titled Far from Home: An Alaskan Senator Faces the Extreme Climate of Washington, D.C. The liberal networks haven’t offered a welcome wagon to books by conservative senators like Tom Cotton, Mike Lee, and especially, Rand Paul, whose last book put Anthony Fauci on the cover and was titled Deception: The Great Covid-19 Coverup.

Georgetown University’s relationship with Qatar has the potential to influence the future diplomats who come out of the School of Foreign Service (SFS), among other institutions, according to a new report detailing ties between the university and radical “Islamist movements and entities associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The university, which maintains a satellite campus in Doha, allows Qatar’s Hamas-friendly government to wield outsized influence over several key schools and centers, including SFS, the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS), and the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU).

“Georgetown’s key centers function as platforms promoting political Islam, minimizing the threat of Islamist extremism, and advancing anti-Israel narratives,” a new probe by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) states. “Affiliations include extensive networks linked to Islamist movements and entities associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Harvard University and other top research schools are seeking corporate funders to support their science labs following sweeping cuts to government grants.

The T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard, which typically gets more than 70% of its annual research dollars from the federal government, lost nearly all of the funding after the Trump administration canceled hundreds of the university’s research grants and contracts. The school expected to get more than $200 million this fiscal year.

“Hey, if you’re going to shoot yourselves in the groin with this climate-change scam, we’ll be happy to load your gun.”

A new op-ed from oil services CEO Dan Eberhart in Forbes makes the case that climate change litigation is a growing threat to U.S. energy – and that the U.S. could fall behind China as a result.

He notes that Senator Ted Cruz has repeatedly voiced concern that American energy security is under threat—not from foreign armies or economic collapse, but from a coordinated legal campaign masquerading as environmental activism. This week, Cruz’s Judiciary oversight subcommittee is convening a hearing to dig into what he believes is a coordinated effort between China and the U.S. climate litigation movement aimed at undercutting U.S. energy dominance.

According to Eberhart’s piece in Forbes, the wave of climate lawsuits, particularly those brought by firms like Sher Edling, are supported by a network of well-funded foundations and advocacy organizations. These entities, he argues, may be unintentionally serving the strategic goals of America’s geopolitical adversaries—especially China—by hampering domestic fossil fuel production and increasing reliance on foreign-controlled clean energy supply chains.

On Sunday, a massive suicide bomb attack tore through the important Greek Orthodox church Mar Elias in Damascus, killing 27 and wounding dozens more. The huge attack just added to the spate of sectarian violence across Syria, which undercuts the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) government’s claim to be protecting religious minorities.

The HTS was quick to blame ISIS for the Mar Elias bombing, and on Monday announced the arrest of a number of ISIS associates who they claimed were involved, vowing to bring them to justice. Now that whole narrative seems in doubt.

Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.

Carolyn McCarthy, whose personal tragedy propelled her to national prominence after her husband was killed during the 1993 Long Island Rail Road massacre, launching a nearly two-decade congressional career during which she became one of the nation’s leading voices for gun control, died Wednesday of natural causes at her home in Fort Myers, Florida. She was 81.

First of all, it’s not ‘gun control’, it’s ‘gun banning’. They just tiptoe up to it because of that whole inconvenient Second Amendment thingie.

Secondly, the ‘Long Island Railroad Massacre’ was perpetrated by a guy named Colin Ferguson. Here he is:

But, as we all know, black people have no agency and are merely dimwitted tools in the hands of the inanimate objects that they use to commit crimes–so a good Democrat like McCarthy has to IGNORE THE PERPETRATOR and attempt to BAN THE TOOL that he used. The elephant in the room is that, even if the tool is successfully banned, the Usual Suspect perpetrators remain. And, as we have seen in Britain (which has ‘gun control’ laws of which McCarthy could only dream), such perpetration-inclined minorities will use knives if that’s all they have. (Be sure to call it ‘knife crime’, of course, to continue to deflect attention from The Perpetrators to The Tools.)

Imagine how low the crime rates would be if young black males were prohibited from possessing firearms.

A leading Democratic senator has offered a frank and rare explanation for why many in his party are disconnected from everyday Democratic voters when it comes to foreign policy, which for a brief spell during the Bush years was dubbed ‘anti-war’—a platform which pretty much disappeared during the Obama years and later Biden admin.

Senator Chris Murphy was on MSNBC this week to talk about President Trump’s strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, which was not so much as debated much less formally approved by Congress. Murphy pointed out to Chris Hayes that an overwhelming 87% of Democrats expressed disapproval, according to a recent poll, and that 56% of Americans overall opposed the military action.

One rule has remained true for generations when it comes to the division between the sexes: Men are held accountable for everything, women accept accountability for nothing.

Obviously, there’s going to be exceptions to the rule, but the majority of the time it is true that modern western women have a serious problem taking responsibility when things go wrong. They have been taught from a very early age that they are victims: Victims of men, victims of society, victims of “patriarchy”, victims of religion, victims of biology, victims of circumstance, etc.

The feminist movement is built entirely around the notion that women can weaponize their victimhood as a means to control society.

George Soros’ influential Open Society Foundation (OSF) is under fire, following a new report alleging that the organization has financially supported groups with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist networks. The findings point to a complex web of civil society funding allegedly used to promote political and religious influence under the banner of human rights and anti-racism.

The report claims that “millions of euros in funding” from OSF was directed to organizations in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. The money originating from OSF has flowed to organizations that “function as front organizations or intermediaries for the Muslim Brotherhood in their respective regions.”

In some instances, the report claims the funding exceeded $1 million per group, The report states that part of the funding was instead used for “political or ideological influence” and, in certain cases, allegedly supported extremist networks.

In the Palestinian territories, organizations such as Al-Haq and Al-Mezan are cited as recipients of OSF money. The report notes that leaders of these groups have ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is designated as a terrorist organization by both the EU and the United States.

President Donald Trump is helping congressional Republicans investigate his White House predecessor, Joe Biden, and the Biden administration’s extensive use of the autopen.

Nine senior Biden aides have been called to testify before the House Oversight Committee, and the Trump White House decided Tuesday to waive executive privilege for the staffers, allowing committee members to grill them on the autopen use without any legal obstacles.

“Evidence that aides to former President Biden concealed information regarding his fitness to exercise the powers of the President—and may have unconstitutionally exercised those powers themselves to aid in their concealment—implicates both Congress’ constitutional and legislative powers,” wrote Deputy White House Counsel Gary Lawkowski in a letter to former Biden adviser and staff secretary Neera Tanden and her attorneys.

Racism is despicable and must be fought. Not a controversial statement, right? But what if racism rebranded itself as … “anti-racism”? The consequences of such “anti-racism” are what the Asian American community is currently facing, and no place has been more of a flashpoint for that than Northern Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

This prestigious public school has been at the center of a long battle between the Virginia Department of Education’s anti-racism directives propagated by former Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s administration and the Asian American parents who brought suit because their kids were eventually denied admission after so many of them were getting in and other minorities with lower qualifications weren’t.

Despite the U.S. Supreme Court passing on hearing their case last year, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the allegations.

In addition, visitors had spotted anti-Semitic stickers on laptops.

The federal budget today resembles a time bomb with a Medicare card taped to it. Entitlement spending consumes the vast majority of federal outlays, and future obligations (mostly from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) far exceed $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Reform is overdue, but politically radioactive. The welfare state is no longer a safety net—it is a gravitational force pulling federal priorities inward.

Sixty-nine million Americans received $1.5 trillion in Social Security payments in 2024. Nearly $2 trillion was spent on Medicare and Medicaid combined. Welfare outlays were $1.6 trillion. The magnitude of these numbers is not simply staggering, but beyond comprehension. For comparative scale, the outlay for military salaries and housing was $176.2 billion for fiscal year 2024. Federal employees who weren’t military were paid $384 billion.

This is obviously irresponsible and unsustainable. Treating Social Security as anything other than a general fund and part of the federal income tax structure is dishonest. The program is a general fund in, and a general fund out. This was once an important debate—but it is no longer.

Police in Berlin are urging citizens to report each other over suspected “hate speech” online, as part of a nationwide crackdown that critics say resembles East Germany’s surveillance state.

The clampdown comes amid growing public support for the anti-establishment Alternative for Germany (AfD), particularly in the east of the country, where the party has made significant electoral gains.

The latest escalation came on Wednesday, June 25th, when police carried out coordinated raids across the country, searching homes and confiscating the electronics of 170 people over social media comments that either fall in the general ‘hate speech’ category or just insult sitting politicians.

The Trump administration announced a Gulf of America oil and gas lease sale that would span roughly 80 million acres, an area that is larger than the United Kingdom.

The behemoth lease sale, which will be the first offshore lease sale since President Donald Trump took office, is scheduled for December 2025 and will offer 15,000 blocks of federal waters across the entire gulf. Companies with winning bids will be subject to a reduced royalty rate, something that could potentially drive greater industry interest and participation in the sale, according to the Department of the Interior (DOI).

It is the latest action the Trump administration has taken in pursuit of its aggressive energy dominance and “drill, baby, drill” agenda. The announcement also represents a U-turn from the Biden administration’s approach to drilling, which involved shutting down oil production, canceling offshore lease sales, and hiking royalty fees for producers.

The fact that many children are ditching America’s public schools is undeniable. Most recently, Nat Malkus, Deputy Director of Education Policy at the American Enterprise Institute, reported that while chronic absenteeism spiked during the COVID pandemic, it remains a serious problem.

In 2024, rates were 57% higher than they were before the pandemic. (Students who miss at least 10% of the school year, or roughly 18 days, are considered chronically absent.)

Malkus goes on to explain that in 2018 and 2019, about 15% of K–12 public school students in the U.S. were chronically absent—a number so high that numerous observers and the U.S. Department of Education are labeling it a “crisis.”

A ‘crisis’ is whenever anything goes against the Narrative and appears to be winning.

In total, nearly one in twelve public schools in the United States has experienced a “substantial” enrollment decline over the last five years.

The problem is especially egregious in our big cities. In Los Angeles, more than 32% of students were chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year.

In Chicago, dwindling enrollment has left about 150 schools half-empty, while 47 operate at less than one-third capacity.

Reform UK would win the most seats of any party if a general election were held today, a poll has found.

The first large-scale MRP poll conducted by YouGov since Sir Keir Starmer entered No 10 last year shows that Nigel Farage’s party would win 271 seats if voters went to the polls now.

Britain would face a hung parliament, with Reform not returning enough MPs to govern on its own. But it would make Mr Farage the leading contender to become the next prime minister.

The YouGov model, which makes projections for results in every parliamentary constituency, puts Labour in second place with 178 seats and the Liberal Democrats in third with 81 seats.

The Conservatives would suffer further collapse if the country went to the polls again, winning just 46 seats, down from 121.

In the following days and weeks after the election and before Trump was inaugurated, attorneys general—such as Letitia James of New York, Rob Bonta of California, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Brian Schwalb of the District of Columbia, and others—planned other hypothetical lawsuits regarding immigration, environmental regulations, health care, and gun control.

A major theft of copper signalling cables near Lille-Europe station has disrupted Eurostar services, causing cancellations and lengthy delays across routes from London to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam.

Around 600?metres of cable were stolen, prompting French railway company SNCF to impose speed limits and reroute high-speed trains onto conventional lines, extending journey times by up to 90?minutes.

At least six London–Paris departures were cancelled during the morning on Wednesday, June 25th, while other services continued with significant delays.

Passengers were offered free exchanges, refunds, and onboard water supplies, and urged to postpone travel due to ongoing disruptions.

The delays followed the previous day’s tragedy when two people were struck by trains on the same line, forcing a temporary shutdown and stranding passengers overnight.

It is said that people get more right-wing as they grow older. A quicker way to achieve this appears to be having a large number of asylum seekers housed nearby.

Almost three-quarters of voters in Kreuzberg—described as one of Germany’s most liberal districts—backed the three major left-wing (pro-migration) parties in the last federal election. The more right-wing parties did not achieve double-digit support.

But now that plans are underway for almost 1,000 refugees—likely from Ukraine, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Syria—to be housed in a nearby shelter, currently being renovated, an anti-migration sentiment has begun to stir.

An online survey of residents on the development has received more clicks than any other local issue in recent weeks, according to German daily Berliner Zeitung. Sixty-eight locals said they view the refugee shelter with “concern and fear,” and 28 “expressed anger about the plan.” Thirty-nine said they were “looking forward to new people and movement in the neighborhood.”

Border Gaps and “Lies”—All Quiet on the German Migration Front

District officials have also spoken up, pointing to already overburdened infrastructure in the neighbourhood as well as pre-existing crime rates—especially given that the shelter is supposed to be occupied in part by unaccompanied minors.

A woman who has lived in the area for more than two decades is likewise reported to have said:

We already have enough crime here.

Refugees will apparently only be accommodated in the centre temporarily. Work should be completed on the shelter towards th

The New York Times, a Voice of the Woke.

Because, as we all know, ‘victory over H.I.V.’ is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING that can happen, and if the U.S. government doesn’t do it, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Time, a Voice of the Crust.

And, as in any ‘seismic moment’, those inside need to get outside before things coming crashing down.

The world’s economic capital stands to have a democratic socialist at the helm.

There is nothing ‘democratic’ about socialism. Socialism is founded on theft. ‘Democratic socialism’ is an oxymoron, like ‘Pe0ple’s Republic’.

No. That is not some A.I. hallucination. That really happened Tuesday in New York City’s mayoral primary.

Democrats in New York are crazy. Crazy people are dangerous. Time to leave.

New York is still tallying the votes, for sure. But a 33-year-old state lawmaker who became an avatar for the political movement led by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading in the race for Mayor of New York City. The significance of an apparent Zohran Mamdani victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a seismic moment that signals how much of an insurgent posture Democrats are in at the moment. As party leaders fret about whether Kamala Harris lost for being seen as too “woke” on various issues, the coastal deep-blue enclaves are completely disconnected from that conversation, and the party’s dreadful standing on the national stage.

After the 1968 Presidential election, Playboy magazine ran an interview with an alleged mob hit man. During the course of the interview they asked him (‘Joey’) whom he had voted for in the Presidential contest. He responded, “I had a choice between a fool and a crook. Naturally I voted for the crook.” I suspect that the New York Democrats naturally voted for the fool.

There are vast communities across America that most of you might not be aware of – full of people living free, satisfying lives – and often using their little slice of happiness to help those in need. Yet it seems no good deed goes unpunished, thanks to mentally ill degenerates who take pleasure in stalking, harassing, and otherwise tearing people down. These basement-dwelling assholes love attacking tradwives and homesteaders (who are apparently white supremacists). They can’t stand rugged individualism and self-sufficiency, or nuclear families, or people who are thriving while carving their own path. What’s more, these haters form ‘snark’ groups on Reddit and other platforms with the sole purpose of character assassination. And now, they’ve driven someone to suicide.

You may recall the case of Peanut the squirrel – an internet sensation who was rescued in 2017 by Mark Longo – only to be seized from Mark’s home in late 2024 by the state of New York and euthanized after an anonymous complaint was lodged against the P’nuts Freedom Farm. Who would do that?

Statists. Statists are fascists without the snappy uniforms.

And of course, deranged leftists on Reddit (archived) defended the raid – suggesting it was justified because the Freedom Farm wasn’t properly licensed.

My, what a surprise. The U.S. has been doing this forever. In order to renounce one’s U.S. citizenship, they charge an exit tax calculated as if you’d sold every property you own. Your money is actually the government’s money, and they will charge you for taking their money away.

Affluent residents across the continent are now facing exit levies before they make the move to tax havens such as Monaco, Dubai, and Switzerland. This is a result of some nations’ efforts to slow down—or even halt—the departure of these ultrahigh-net-worth individuals, Bloomberg reported.

With the exit tax, countries are aiming to collect a portion of the profits that a person has generated while using that nation’s infrastructure to build their assets. The implementation has faced criticism, since individuals are required to pay levies on unsold assets. Even so, exit taxes have become more prevalent in the past year: Recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, among other expenses for the public, and slower growth overall has left European governments searching for ways to increase funds, according to Bloomberg.

“A lot of countries are bringing in exit taxes,” David Lesperance, founder of wealth management company Lesperance & Associates, told Bloomberg. “Clients who have illiquid assets and mortgages are then hesitant to trigger [them] because they just don’t have the money to pay the bill.”

And some people think it is worth it, just to escape the Gulag.

New York City Democrats chose 33-year-old Muslim Socialist Zohran Mamdani as their mayoral candidate in the Tuesday, June 24th primary, stunning his opponent, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

In what appears to be the left-leaning city’s rebuke of the Democratic party’s veteran moderates, Mamdani led with 43% of the vote with 95% of ballots counted. Mamdani declared victory this morning (tonight in New York).

Mamdani is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. He speaks out for Palestinians and has accused Israel of “genocide.”

The democratic socialist described his vision for New York City’s future as a place “where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump’s fascism, to stop mass ICE agents from deporting our neighbours, and to govern our city as a model for the Democratic Party.”

Time to leave, comrades.
