Donald Trump has said that he will withhold funding for New York City if presumptive Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor after November’s general election and doesn’t do the “right thing.”

    If that happens, time for more mass protests. Surround the White House and stop anyone from entering and leaving until funding to NYC is restored.

      I’ll be honest they’re not working from my perspective. I see them everyday and I see the news the next morning.

        Protests and public opinion have already contributed to Musk leaving D.C., which if you ask me is a pretty big accomplishment. And protests aren’t usually one and done… It’s about building a movement, and that takes time.

          That’s fair. I was going to agree that it wasn’t working.

          But we as liberals have to stop looking for perfection. Our protests made Musk have a breakdown and drop out. That’s a win.
