I fucking hate cities but damn I might have to move to NYC.

If you prefer even more explanation, you can invest an hour of your time in watching this video of the press conference 🙂 www.youtube.com/live/askcIj8...

You tried to defund libraries, dude.

shit, yeah!!!

As Wodehouse would say, "The immortal rind of the chap."

You walk the walk, Mayor. Excellent job, sir.

You are a true champion of the people, not a charlatan politician out for personal gain. #Ethics

👏👏👏

Erased a $12B deficit, huh? Riiiiight.

No ballroom?

Well done Mayor!!❤️🙏🩵👍

She's *gorgeous* ... both beauty and smarts! 💙

WOW! In less than 6 months!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽🫵🏽🤘🏽🫡

So why did you ask NYS aka Gov. Hochul for billions in financial aid?

If he can do it in NY, other Mayors can do it.

Good job

Tbh, I'd actually forgotten about that. He seems like such a New Yorker 😊.

That’s how a Millennial fucking does it Great job, Mr. Mayor!

Around the time religion made its grand entrance into government during the Reagan era, we stopped voting for issues that actually matter, and instead voted for or against emotional hot-button issues. As a result, we as a society have suffered & no one but billionaires & lawmakers have benefited.

I friend of mine uses the term DGAF for some people of a certain age. Don't give a f**K .Only two years to serve left as well also doesn't help the guy has always been rich Too much wealth makes you nuts most times with very few exceptions like Apple's Tim Cook who is not as rich as some think

When you are born you get a number. That's your working bee number and Trump & oligarchs are not taking care of the hive, just milking the honey 🍯 Americans are Trumps 🏧

Tax payers are suckers to them.

Hell, that may be the only to AVOID breaking our economy.

Mayor - you are doing great things! You give many millions of us hope 💙

This is governance for the people!!

Keep him safe, nurture him, treasure him. He's a treasure worth all that more.

It is, but the details of how an administration chooses to balance the budget is the important part.

The previous administration left him with a $12 billion deficit, which was “hidden in the footnotes”. Forced him to backtrack on campaign promises (eg, his draft budget *cut* library funding, now back to previous level). Budgeting is *much* harder if you’re trying to be accountable.

I looked it up and it seems that is what he has done.

No small feat, Bravo #NewYork!

This is MAY. I think we're going to need a "recipe for success" please?

Social democracy, not democratic socialism.

Thats incredible. Please see if you can influence policy on a federal level to do similar for the rest of us. Not even a year in and you solved so much. Youve proven these policies work. Please help get more to follow these examples.

That's how you do it.

Invite Scott Galloway for lunch. Listen to his recent remarks on PIVOT. He's right. Wish you the best and a long career in NY & hopefully someday in DC. 😎

Congratulations 🌺

Thank you for taxing the immensely wealthy for the benefit of all New Yorkers!! This is the way.

You are the evidence that, in an honest primary system, Bernie would have won

He'd be a great President

Mamdani will no doubt start an illegal war to boost his popularity

Correct, it never works long term and this experiment will also fail.

The Right loves to lie and present misleading information as if it were truth. They also love leaving out important information. About the only thing they're reliable on is serving their own interests.

You quite obviously do not comprehend how a social democracy functions. It's really not your fault you were intentionally poorly educated by a misogynistic controlling society.

I mean, a huge part of it is a bailout from Albany.

It's a goddamn shame you're a teacher because you clearly can't tell the difference between communism and socialism.

It must get painful to be you.

They do say that, and that's why they try and limit it when it comes to the people and call it by another name (tax breaks, subsidies, etc.) when it helps the wealthy and corporations.

Norway, Denmark, & Sweden are not Socialist countries. They’re all capitalist countries.

Fancing coming over to the UK and being Prime Minister for a while? We barely have enough competent politicians to fill a Fiat Uno.

Republicans, any second now: “Deficits are extremely gud, akchually….”

My wife and I are counting down the days until we move to NYC. Just a few months, but feels like forever. You’re not our mayor yet, but damn are you making us proud already.

I really like you!

You make Online user interpret word? You don't list all 10,000 people who make this possible seperately?

👍

Trade you for him... please?

THIS IS THE WAY

He brings up Governor Hochul multiple times, she’s like, “Can you leave me out of this please? My wealthy donors don’t like you!”

Exactly 🎯🎯🎯

Dude, that was fast. Good work.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎💙😎

But “socialism”! 👏👏👏🙏🙌

Messaging on point, Mayor. Show this country what we COULD HAVE!! 🇺🇸

Delivering for the people. The nerve of these damn socialists! 👏🤩

Good Job! See what an honest leader can do. 👍

Seems a Democrat is a lot better at business that any Republican Mayor has been.

Oh i don't think we are more civilized... The far right is at the gates of the power in France, after all... What happened in the USA with Trump is a foresight of what we can expect, hélas.

We need people to fight for federal funding to this city, we can't allow the irresponsibility of Washington politics to compromise the social welfare of New Yorkers. NYCHA needs to be funded, infrastructure needs to be funded, counter terterrosim need to be funded amoung other priorities.

You poor fool, don’t you realise how much you need a ballroom?

Proud to be a New Yorker who voted for Mamdani both in the Dem Primary and in the general election on the @nywfp.bsky.social line!

Tax the rich and better deals from / with Albany

Wow!!!!!

Meanwhile, at the Whitehouse, Tacky Trump says, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." And he's using his role as POTUS to rake in millions for himself and his family. (And billions on a war with Iran.)

Ugh. Worst book I ever read. Don’t remind me.

Exactly

1. The mandate by the wise NYC Electorate. 2. His energy, passion, vision, integrity, and ability to bring like-minded people on board, ideologically AND practically. 3. Enthusiastic support (feedback) by The NYC Electorate upon his achievements. I'm guessing it's very difficult to say NO to him!

No, FDR wasn’t a social democrat. He was a capitalist & he left Black Americans out of the New Deal programs, put Japanese Americans in internment camps, & sent Jewish refugees back to Germany to be murdered in the Holocaust.

Most people liked it until the Civil Rights passed and then white people lost their minds and filled in community pools, pulled their children out of public schools, and demanded that the social safety nets be abolished.

You have to remember the AFD is a byproduct of third way politics Which infested left of center political parties across the globe around the end of the cold war. They abandoned their roots and left countless voters susceptible to far right politics

There has never been a successful social democracy. The countries y’all mistakingly believe are socialist are actually capitalist with robust social safety nets.

Just look at how right wing media has convinced millions of people that Biden's term in office was awful, when we know that he did a pretty good job of fixing up the mess Trump left him the first time around.

Someone get Todd Gloria's useless eyes on what an actual Mayor looks like

You are a breath of fresh air and an example on what can be accomplished in the country!

Change the constitution to make Zohran president.

Tax the greedy rich parasites

Not sure what you mean. But this is not socialism.

How about calling it a good relationship with Speaker Menin politics?

We can do better.

Agree. Try the Loop!

✊

Some kudos to Gov Hochul, too. It is great to see the city and state working together again for the good of New York and New Yorkers.

Amazing ... and he's only been in office a few months

"Política del hueco" sounds good enough for my fellow Bogotanians who have rage aneurysms when someone says "socialismo"

The US *ELECTORATE* needs to follow the lead of the NYC Electorate!

Bravo!! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
