[ April 24, 2026 ]
Leftists sometimes directly experience the misery that their cherished policies inflict on the rest of us, and that’s happening now in the East Village, where they voted in massive numbers for the Marxist Mayor Mamdani, only to have him decide that they would be among the first to be punished. Mamdani’s fellow Twelver Shi’ite, the Ayatollah Khomeini, also allied with the Communists, only to imprison and kill them after he took power. Now Mamdani wants to inflict violent and criminal homeless people on the affluent leftists of the East Village. The idea is to demoralize and threaten them until they’ll support the authoritarian policies that are the heart and center of leftism. Well, it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch, but they’re just toward the beginning of the line. There will be many more victims to come.
“Social media erupts after Mamdani’s far-left supporters turn on him over homeless shelter: ‘Oops,'” by Andrew Mark Miller and Leo Briceno, Fox News, April 24, 2026:
East Village residents who voted for New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani by a 40-point margin are now suing to stop a building in their neighborhood from becoming a temporary homeless shelter.
ADVERTISEMENTThe lawsuit, filed with the New York City Supreme Court on Monday, shows hesitation even among Mamdani supporters about the cost of implementing some of his plans.
News of the lawsuit has prompted conservative mockery online, with figures like Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, noting the irony of Mamdani’s supporters turning on the fruits of his administration.
“Oops,” Sen. Ted Cruz said in a post to X.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks at a press conference at La Marqueta in East Harlem on April 14, 2026, outlining plans for city-run grocery stores aimed at lowering food prices.

“No one is more ‘not in my backyard’ than white progressives. This community voted for Mamdani in a landslide but don’t want to live with the consequences,” Michael Henry, a former New York attorney general candidate, wrote on social media.
ADVERTISEMENT“Not shocked,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said in a post of his own.
Election District 45, the area that includes East Village, voted for Mamdani in a 70.1% victory over independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, who garnered just 26.0% of the vote.
Even so, 10 residents joined the Village Organization for the Integrity of Community Engagement (VOICE) in their suit against the city after Mamdani announced plans earlier this year to turn a building at 8 East 3rd Street into a citywide intake shelter to house homeless adult men.
The filing argues the city fast-tracked the process without proper environmental and legal safeguards….
