The more accurate headline here would be: there is a Mamdani effect — wealthy home buyers are flocking to NYC.
In the aftermath of much well-heeled panic about a potential mass exodus of New York millionaires and billionaires following the election of Zohran Mamdani, the contrary is already happening, and Manhattan luxury apartment buyers are voting with their wallets.

‘There is no Mamdani effect’: Manhattan luxury home sales surge after mayoral election, undercutting predictions of doom and escape to Florida | Fortune
Signed contracts for Manhattan homes over $4 million skyrocketed 25%; “the idea that people would flee New York was overblown,” said realtor Donna Olshan.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

So, no word on worker's comp yet and it has put me in a precarious situation with rent. I very badly need to raise $550. I know it's a big ask. This is not how I want to start my birthday month. I'm sorry
Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

This is an insane paragraph.
This is at the very least, literally, not "indisputable". The lower-court ruling you're overturning said otherwise, and there's written, public evidence the DOJ said do this for racial reasons!
"Indisputable" just means "I don't care to deal with contrary evidence."

Alito's (brief) concurrence says the "impetus" for the Texas map was "partisan."
This is a response to the lower court that struck down the map, saying there's evidence of racial impetus. A big evidence was that the DOJ wrote to Texas explicitly saying they should redistrict for racial reasons.

The guidance includes a provision denying H-1B visas to anyone who has ever used social media to describe members of the administration as "sweaty bald wannabee-goebbels racist-ass wormtongue fucks," though a spokesperson for State denied the provision was in reference to any specific individual.
