The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.
You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.
You must log in or # to comment.
So republicans are Publicly trying to end social security. Got it. start running those ads.
The Democrats won’t because their donors won’t let them
There should be a negative consequence for proposing obviously unconstitutional bullshit with no chance of passing just for publicity
this is what you get for not hanging your fascists
We are so back, baby! [to one of the worst times in modern human history]
This is going hard in the direction of the Nazi Germany “Enabling Act” of 1933.
Or McCarthyism. Don’t forget that one. Another classic.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Mamdani is the closest thing to a left wing politician America has been exposed to (to my European eyes he seems center-left), and the whole of the US is going completely ballistic about it.
The rich/racists are going ballistic, but many see him as a ray of hope.
A fortnightly somewhat comedic podcast also recommended that progressive politicians should follow his campaign style, focusing mostly on economic policies to help everyday policies. I wouldn’t call them experts or anything, but they claimed a few other politicians doing the same thing had promising results (they didn’t state specific examples).
But yeah, lots of Americans do like at least some of what he’s doing, but those usually aren’t anyone near power.
The name of this bill is how you know they are terrified of him.
Don’t pay attention to this, it’s going nowhere, it’s weak propaganda to distract from the Epstein Files and the ArmerIsraeli War®.
it’s weak propaganda
Chip Roy is running for AG in Texas. It’s less “weak propaganda” and more “a policy he would like to implement if elected to statewide office.” If I was a Muslim in Texas, I’d be keenly aware of what he was proposing.
Fortunately, even the corrupted judges seem to have trouble assailing the First Amendment directly so far. What would really be nice, though, would be if these laws could be stopped on the drawing board rather than having to be challenged in court every time. If a high schooler could win the court case, it should not have to be one.
I dunno, seems kinda like something to pay attention to. Do you guys do anything? Or is sitting on your hands making up reasons to ignore shit like this just more fun than I thought it to be?
“Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?”
Banning socialists is some real commie shit these fucking pinko politicians
Banning socialists
Not just socialists, “Islamists”. This guy is running for AG in a state with Muslims making up around 2% of the population. Many of them are highly educated professionals looking to form full blow communities of like-minded people.
Unless the Commies themselves are socialists
Reminder for anyone still confused. American conservatives are actual, real-life fascists.
“any organization that advocates those ideologies” is so god damn unconstitutional, it is not even funny
any organization that advocates those ideologies” is so god damn
unconstitutional, it is not even funny-Republicans
I got a better bill idea.
The Trump-Epstein act: which mandates the death penalty for pedophiles.
Mccarthyism round two, let’s go! Screw learning from your mistakes!
“I have here in my hand a list of 205 that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department.”
“Or maybe it’s 57… or 10… maybe.”
Oh they learned, hence why we have Fox News and half of the government that will refuse to hold the worst US President ever accountable for his blatant acts of fraud and embezzlement.
They see McCarthy’s mistake was giving up.
Not just “giving up”, there are large portions who think McCarthy’s mistake was not simply murdering everyone who appeared before HUAC. My own father-in-law doesn’t really want these to be any form of actual “we wanna know what’s going on” trials, he just wants this to be all but a summary execution.
