Amazing how legacy media panics over a leftist mayor, compared to how chill they were about an actual fascist becoming president. Really clarifies their priorities.
He's not even sworn in and fucking Politico is counting him out. With journalists like Politico's and the New York Times', who needs enemies?

Standing up to fascism WORKS. It’s hard and tedious and frustrating but it works and we mustn’t stop.
Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.
