A Fix the City mailer — which the PAC claimed was a rejected proposal that never made it to circulation — went viral on social media earlier this month, after the Mamdani campaign accused the PAC of Islamophobia for darkening and thickening his beard.

The very existence of this should be a huge scandal in a Democratic city, whether or not people believe the release was intentional.

The creeps are terrified of a major city having even the symbolic win of a genuinely Good Person for mayor.

This is a good development, against a very dark background.

I so hope that Mamdani wins it - it would be such a fantastic change of leadership for the city.
