When citizens are wide awake, the scare tactics of fascists cant blindside them. On October 18, 2025, at 2,600 No Kings protests events, 43 percent of Americans identifying with this movement, rather than MAGA, came out to strongly proclaim no kings in America! Seven million Americans said enough!
For the Chinese domestic worker and the Caribbean caregiver, let the man of retribution and revenge host a Gatsby party for his wealthy friends. There will be consequences. Working class and low-income citizens recognized in the democratic socialist running in the race for mayor of New York City themselves and their concerns and a future for their children. The young 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani stayed on message: the time was right for the economically poor, the working class, for the forgotten, for the invisible to be empowered by their own determination to live in a democracy.
I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.
Neither a wealthy class nor a member of the donor class, these are the citizens ignored by the politicians from both parties. These are the citizens Mamdani refused to ignore. And the ignoring of a representative of the majority of the world is tantamount to an incestuous mindset. For to claim the US white and Christian is to live in a prison of one's own making.
On the other hand, among the people. Mamdani found critical thinkers asking how is it that politicians from both parties could allow Gazan children to be torn to shreds by US drones? How is it that politicians deny SNAP benefits, forcing parents to sacrifice meals and standing in food pantry lines? How is it that politicians, on the other hand, empower capitalists, real estate developers to build housing that a majority of poor, working class, senior citizens cant afford?
In a Christian nation, property and profits are valued more than the lives of human beings.
How is this democracy?
The people Mamdani recognized as the most in need of change, recognized in Mamdani the politician aligning himself on the right side of history. He made it his mission to see them!
