Dude he literally running New York like the average joe in a movie who gets elected into office as a gag and then fixes everything simply because he is not a politician and an earnest regular guy.
1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup.
Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament.
The beautiful game belongs to everyone.
ALT Mayor Mamdani attends the match between Morocco and Brazil with some of the New Yorkers who won the World Cup affordable tickets lottery.

Nestory Irankunda (whose parents were refugees fleeing Burundi) chose to represent Australia, whilst also being eligible for Tanzania or Burundi.
I think we can be very, very glad he did.
#Socceroos
Nestory Irankunda becomes the youngest #Socceroos player to score at a #FIFAWorldCup 💚💛
🇦🇺 1-0 🇹🇷

The only football they're talking about today. The Kinross-shire Friendship cup with 8 refugee teams from across Scotland taking part. Bringing communities together in mutual support and respect.

Thousands of anti-racism protesters drowned out a small far-right rally in Glasgow.
Close to three thousand people attended the protest, organised by Stand Up To Racism.

Fantastic feeling seeing the Nazis who marched through the streets on Tuesday, beating up non-white people and who tried to march on Glasgow central mosque now surrounded by at least 5000 anti-racists. Glasgow is anti-fascist. Fuck off nazi scum.

Not all white people.
Just the racists.
White people are starting to be comfortable being called a racist
We don't care

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK

SpaceX's 11% share price boost has made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire, controlling two of the world's largest companies. ft.trib.al/wHPQ9gw

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

JD Vance:
If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
