This is, imo, the most important part of Mamdani's message - & it is replicable, moral, & the exact opposite of Trump/MAGA messaging.

Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

This is doubly true of politicians on the left, whose accounts are throttled and claim to advocate policies exactly opposing Musk's.

DHS reportedly fast-tracked a contract worth almost $1 billion to a company led by a donor to a pro-Trump nonprofit group where one of the officials overseeing the deal previously worked.
