Zohran Mamdani may be a lightweight in his own right, but as mayor, he’d bring an entire extremist movement along with him to City Hall, with dire consequences for the city.
“Whether it is July 4th, Thanksgiving , Veterans, Columbus or now Labor Day , we enjoy days off that are supposed to be victories for people, when they truly represent the silencing & destruction of our movements,” Aber Kawas, a longtime Palestinian-American activist,“Today I do not celebrate a day off, I only recommit myself to a global movement that fights against the death, displacement, and exploitation of people for capital.
Aber Kawas, a far-left Queens Assembly candidate backed by NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani despises federal holidays because they reject socialism and are all part of the American Dream.“For this movement, a day off is not a victory. A day off means nothing, because liberation means everything,” added Kawas, who like Mamdani, is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
