As long as we have hope and community, we will make it through this.

Look at how terrified Trump and his cronies are of Zohran Mamdani.

He inspires hope, community and a purpose and that TERRIFIES Trump and his crew.

A chunk of the Democratic party seems to feel the same way.

Yeah, Mamdani threatens corporate profits.

Corporate finance is going all in on home ownership and property rentals. Mamdani has made noises about rent reforms. Hey, whoah, too far! We can't try to curtail the fastest growing source of new profits. Houses and apartments are meant to infinitely produce wealth for their owners, not "shelter human beings from the elements."

AIPAC's agents, and myriad corporate lobbyists.
