Just watch Mamdani will win in NYC and that will be a pretext to send troops to the city

Zohran Mamdani is going to win, barring a major change in developments. I don't care for him and would not vote for him, but if he does win he should be allowed to be the mayor and run his city autonomously from the federal government.

Instead, what's going to happen is that Trump will send the feds in as soon as, or even before, he is inaugurated on New Year's Day. It will be a mixed stew of ICE, CBP, National Guard, FBI, Secret Service and various other masked thugs with a badge.

Just war.

The elites are doing everything they can to hold the working class common man down. No more corrupt neoliberalism!!

A Non-Hispanic white woman.

I do dread possibly seeing ICE arrive around here at some point.

Lived on Gleason ave for 7 or 8 years. Those were the little kids that went out for ice cream during the black out.

No fear.

near the highbridge, (goes over to Washington Hgts) change a bit north to one more that went all the way down to Soundview (northern section) where there was a K-Mart. Gleason Av is a bit east and a bit north of there. 👍
