Trump spent months painting New York City as a lawless disaster waiting to happen under Zohran Mamdani. The numbers just told a very different story.

Mayor Mamdani and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced Thursday that New York City has recorded the safest first six months of any year in its recorded history, with shootings and murders falling to all-time lows.

Overall crime dropped 5.8 percent between January 1 and June 30. Murders saw the steepest decline of any category, falling 24.7 percent from last year. The NYPD logged the fewest shooting incidents, shooting victims, and murders for the first half of any year since the department began tracking crime data in 1994.

The progress stretched across all five boroughs. The Bronx led the city with a 12 percent drop in overall crime. Robbery fell 11.9 percent, burglary dropped 15.8 percent, and car thefts declined 9.7 percent. The city hit those numbers while managing the NBA Finals, nearby World Cup matches, and a Knicks ticker-tape parade.

Mamdani said the data reflects what New Yorkers are actually feeling on their streets and subways, and that each number represents "a life untouched by violence." Tisch credited the officers on the ground, saying the historic results came from the men and women of the NYPD carrying out the strategy every day.

While Trump and his allies keep insisting that American cities need federal crackdowns, masked agents, and troops in the streets, New York just proved the opposite. Safety came from leadership, not fear. And it came under the mayor MAGA swore would destroy the city.

The election victories reflect a profound shift to the left in the political orientation of masses of workers, youth, professional people and sections of the middle class, driven by the crisis of American and world capitalism. The escalation of imperialist war, including the US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza and the criminal aggression against Iran, growing poverty and economic insecurity for the masses combined with mounting billions for the corporate oligarchy, the hated Trump regime’s erection of a fascistic dictatorship and the cowardice and complicity of the Democrats are fueling growing popular resistance and interest in a socialist alternative to the existing system.

The guy is a real politician

Muslim people are homophobics, homosexuality is forbidden in their religion, the guy knew there's a lot of arab immigrants in NY, he used the “Im Muslim, i speak Arabic" card to get their votes knowing damn well he supports LGBTQ, im not against it, its just funny how he used his religion to get votes even though he doesn't personally believe in it,

he did the same things with all this “Fuck trump” shi to get votes, just to befriend trump a millisecond after he became a mayor

This how a politician thinks, people!

Heyo, first time reddit here, quick question, could anyone give any pointers on how to articulate our minds like Mr Mayor? Any books, practice, poems, pdfs, anything will be much appreciated!

I hope Mamdani drinks their tears.
