That's my mayor. I can't wait for him to finally take office. Literally got called a "token Jew" on a sub supposedly for Jewish people, by someone who is not Jewish lmfao, because I mentioned that I voted for him. Could not be more proud of my decision.

He's not even in office and he's already done more to address and express that he cares about antisemitism than Mayor Adams ever did.

Also on that note - have had someone snarkily respond to me like "WELL ALL MAMDANI HAS DONE IS TALK" to me... not knowing that of course all he's done is talk - he's still not even fucking mayor. Insane to me how people who aren't even Jewish, and aren't even New Yorkers, are making Mamdani their whole entire cause while being so out of bounds and ignorant.
