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.

    There should be a negative consequence for proposing obviously unconstitutional bullshit with no chance of passing just for publicity

    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.

    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.

    Reminder for anyone still confused. American conservatives are actual, real-life fascists.
