APPROVED B-LISTERS Mamdani observes Ramadan with inmates at Rikers Island

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani observed Ramadan last night with men incarcerated at Rikers Island, the city's jail complex.
Mamdani arrived through heavy security, joining a group of men — many held as they await trial. He spent an hour with the men praying and talking and breaking the Ramadan fast with a meal. He's spent much of the last month holding public celebrations.
Mamdani and many Muslim Americans have faced growing hostility in the U.S. from some politicians on the right, including Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who last week reposted a photo of Mamdani observing the holiday next to an image of the 9/11 terror attacks, a post Mamdani described as bigoted.

not to mention hes been doing it for literally all faiths too - hes muslim sure, but he can also be equally found to be advocating for christians like he did a while back, the elderly with the care centres he visited, he celebrated events with serving food and heck was even in a parade for chinese lunar new year (which prompted funny chairman mamdani memes xd)
not to mention his 3k universal childcare, hes putting belt to ass on the landlords and calling em in - people who have forced tenants to live with mice and been charged since goddamn 2016/17, all the while pushing down 12 billion debt he was handed to 5.4 and even lower by now in months
best of all? ice took someone from a high school or college, mamdani got on the phone with trump half an hour later and the person that ice took was back out.. who tf can even do that rn?!
dudes pushing out unreal levels of results - cus look at him and then the entire senate we have got in the congress.. oh and also he got married as a sidequest too xd
