Say it ain’t Zo.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing a potential revolt from his Democratic Socialists of America comrades, The Post has learned.
More than 200 NYC-DSA members have signed a resolution calling out the mayor for his reversal on homeless encampment sweeps during the recent cold snap.
The budding grassroots movement within the larger organization — said to have 12,000 members — is urging Hizzoner to take “alternative, non-carceral actions” instead of reviving the policy to get homeless people off the streets.
“We’re heartbroken by the loss of several New Yorkers who have frozen to death in the ongoing extreme weather crisis,” the “NYC-DSA Stand With Homeless New Yorkers” resolution reads.
“And we’re alarmed that right-wing media has weaponized this tragedy to justify the complete disempowerment of homeless New Yorkers.”
Mamdani had promised to stop the street encampment sweeps championed by his predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams — but reversed course earlier this month after at least 19 New Yorkers died outside in the cold weather, the majority of them from hypothermia.
Under the rebooted Mamdani administration policy, the outreach workers would follow up with homeless people for seven days in a row before moving forward with tearing down their encampments.
But the about-face received a frigid welcome from his fellow members of the NYC-DSA, which boasts at the top of its website: “We just elected Zohran Mamdani as NYC Mayor!!!!!” along with a call to “get involved.”
Members vented in private group chats, obtained by The Post, about how the Democratic socialist darling chose to be “a class enemy.”
“The way I see it, as soon as somebody is elected to office they are class enemies, regardless of [SIC] if they are good people,” one person wrote.

Commies have a very strict rulebook.
How is the warm embrace of collectivism now?
Love the cognitive dissonance of being upset homeless died and then being upset he brings back what was saving homeless lives, all the while not really proposing a working solution to stop the homeless deaths without the sweeps.
These people are true idiots.
Cognitive dissonance, that’s the phrase I was trying to remember while reading the article. Normally in an argument there’s a thesis statement followed by statements supporting the thesis. Trying to figure out what the “homeless advocates” were thinking is mindboggling. When you boil it down you can’t treat homelessness because...uhm bringing the homeless inside so they don’t die is...violating their rights? Or, perhaps, if we don’t “treat” homelessness it goes away? Perhaps homelessness is a non-problem? I can’t construct a reasonable argument to support the “advocates” thinking. Logic and reasoning are not taught in schools.
Rebranded Communism for the masses to more easily accept...
Mamdani’s the mayor who cried wolf on the budget — here’s the reward he deserves

“We’ve always been at war with the homeless”
These loathsome communists advocating for freedom for the “unhoused” to experiment with hypotherm1a are as mentally ill as the mentally ill people in those street tents.
ISLAMamdani is going to tick off a lot of mentally ill infidels. Others will destroy and kill showing kinship.
DSA needs dead victims of capitalism. Not complicated.
Get used to this commies. You all are always your leader’s first victims.
Which is a totally meaningless string of words that sounds like it says something but really doesn't. It would do kamala proud.
Yep, there is always the night of long knives when the communist socialists come into power
Don’t hate me but I’m optimistic about Mandami, for the following reason:
He’s very young; his career starts or ends here based on whether (i) New Yorkers think the city is better or worse in 4 years, and most importantly (ii) if rents come down.
Homeless encampments have been a disaster for the city, and the fact that he’s taking on his own base to clean them up means he understands (i) and his willingness to work with Trump on building more housing means he understands (ii).
Yes, I could list a thousand communist idiocies that he has embraced. But I think there’s a very good chance (maybe 50-50) he realizes that idiot progressive slogans don’t make things better and he has to find some actual solutions.
The encampment issue was probably the first test of my theory and he passed it.
😂😂😂😂
Y’all don’t realize that there people out there
that don’t want to live the way you Democrats
demand. That is called “Freedom”, an alien concept
to Democrats.
I don’t like homeless camps in public areas anymore
than anybody else. Solution is to provide them “Barter
towns” in areas that don’t offend them or you.
Kind of like Indian reservations, except not race based.
Go there and they make their own rules and as long as they keep it on the Res we don’t care.
““We’re heartbroken by the loss of several New Yorkers who have frozen to death in the ongoing extreme weather crisis,” the “NYC-DSA Stand With Homeless New Yorkers” resolution reads.”
The answer should be...
“We’ll see how heartbroken you are. We will force you to take in your precious homeless into your home to feed and house them.”
Straight up Marxism. Who uses such terms if not pure Marxist/Leninists?
