Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

And rather than announce this—or anything else new and substantive—at the inauguration, he made a cute little joke with Adams from the dais, then waited a few hours before dropping the hammer.

The inauguration was the theory. This is the start of the praxis.

One of the reasons I was on board with Mamdani from very early on was that he seemed to me, more than any other candidate, to be prepared to offer a roadmap for popular and institutional resistance to Trumpism on the municipal level.

Today is validating my optimism.

Just flat-out declaring that everything Adams did as mayor after the indictment—in the final fifteen months and five days of his term of office—was presumptively corrupt, and undoing everything that's in his immediate power to undo with a single stroke of the pen.

This is the way.

And again, this resonates with what Team Fight is demanding Dems do about Trump once they take power back—this is the equivalent of a Day One executive order from the next president repealing all of Trump's executive orders and announcing that his ballroom will be razed.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani begins the new year by issuing an order revoking all executive orders signed by corrupt MAGA scumbag Eric Adams after his corruption conviction.

Love every bit of this.

Some health experts are saying that *it* could happen in the March to May timeframe. I hope it's the Ides of March, so I can say "Et tu, Tupée."

Great for morale how another round of completely damning legal records comes out, no one faces any consequences, we see again how fully congress has abdicated all of its responsibilities, Roberts has picked his man, and that's that

As Zohran Mamdani takes over as mayor of New York City, he joins his new Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, Julie Su, to talk about building an economy that works for the many — not just a select few.

Donald Trump is neckgina deep in the Epstein files and the GOP is just going to allow him to attack Venezuela without Congress or even an explanation to the American people?

Let me understand this. A president rigs an election but faces no consequences because he won the election?

I’ll never ever believe that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost their elections and Jack Smith’s damning testimony only helps to cement that for me.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I used to really hate the Second Amendment, and I'd argue over it with gun crazy assholes.

Lately, I'm beginning to understand that it's truly necessary.

When the government sends military troops unjustly, and innocent people start getting hurt, I hope those gun crazy assholes are prepared.
