New Zohran Mamdani Top Advisor Literally Wrote the Book on "Gay Communism"

Okay, it wasn't a book, it was a magazine, and she didn't write it, she edited it.

So, more accurately: She literally edited the magazine by and for Gay Communists.

The magazine's name?

See if you can guess. What name would appeal to both left-wing gays and communists?

That's right -- "Pinko" magazine, the magazine for gay communists.

Jon Levine:

EXCLUSIVE: Mamdani Taps 'Gay Communist' for Senior Government Role: New Adviser Called for 'Abolition of Police' and 'Undoing Capitalism,' Condemned Gandhi as 'Anti-Black Misogynist'

Lena Afridi, who makes $185,000 a year at City Hall, is also an editor at Pinko magazine, 'a collective for thinking gay communism'

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani named a self-proclaimed "gay communist" who has called for abolishing the police and "undoing capitalism" to a top post in his administration, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.
Lena Afridi--who uses "they/them pronouns"--deleted much of her social media history shortly before arriving at City Hall, but the Free Beacon recovered her postings. She was quietly named to a senior adviser position in the mayor's office in April 2026, drawing a hefty salary of $185,000 a year, records show.
...
Multiple people in the Mamdani administration who knew Afridi told the Free Beacon they could not say what she did day to day, with one calling her a "strange person." Her portfolio appears to include supporting the city's opposition to ICE and other federal efforts to rein in so-called sanctuary cities.

Her? You mean "their," transphobes!

Before joining the administration, Afridi spent three years working as chief of staff for PowerSwitch Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to "forging multiracial feminist democracy" and "grounded in breaking the interlocking chains of oppression."
The group openly bragged about their involvement in violent anti-ICE riots in Minnesota in a March 2026 blog post.
In addition to her government and advocacy work, Afridi is currently listed as an editor at Pinko, a magazine which describes itself as "a collective for thinking gay communism." On the masthead, she went by "L. Israh Afridi." Israh is an Arabic word for "night journey" that is sacred in Islam.
Earlier website iterations of Pinko touted the magazine as "communism for fags."

All communism is communism for fags.

And yes, if they can say it, I can say it too. I am not a slave and these degenerates are not my masters.

"What do we mean by communism? Something like the freedom not to have to seek our lives on the market, attained through the abolition of all forms of private property, family and the state," Pinko clarified in a 2019 blog post.
On X, Afridi posted multiple times about her support for "communism" and "gay communism."
Like many Mamdani staffers, Afridi quietly deleted her X account, @lpafridi, in the days leading up to her appointment--but in old posts uncovered by the Free Beacon, she offered a militant and uncompromising far-left agenda.
"On a personal note, outside of work: while I believe that defunding the NYPD is absolutely necessary in order to get much needed resources to the people, I *also* believe that the only way to achieve true liberation is not through reform but abolition of the police," she declared in June 2020.
Afridi has not been shy about leaning into her communist bona fides, posting in September 2021 that "undoing capitalism" was the only way to stop climate change.
Afridi is a close friend of Cea Weaver, the notorious top Mamdani housing official who's called home ownership "a weapon of white supremacy" and expressed a desire to "impoverish the white middle class."

It's probably been said but pretty much all of this should be laid at the feet of Sleepy Joe who jacked inflation up to 9% and let everything get expensive quickly. That inflation is now baked into the cake unless we're willing to roll the dice on an actual deflationary cycle which basically nobody is willing to do. So you can be mad about it but sitting here fuming that Trump isn't doing enough to give you cheap hamburgers isn't exactly a productive use of anyone's time.
Posted by: ballistic at September 16, 2026 02:31 PM (oqH4h)

As a rhetorical matter, we could blame the Federal Reserve chairman that the courts wouldn't let Trump fire. As a practical matter, no one else would risk a deflationary trap either, let alone induce it on purpose, but making it specific is in their own Rules for a reason. It's effective.

What a crew. There's one woman in there who is so incompetent and whacky, that Congress shot her down for an economic position in the Biden administration. Her primary accomplishment is having widespread crime and fraud take place under a position she held in California.

NYC is, absolutely and positively, SCREWED.

It's probably been said but pretty much all of this should be laid at the feet of Sleepy Joe who jacked inflation up to 9% and let everything get expensive quickly. That inflation is now baked into the cake unless we're willing to roll the dice on an actual deflationary cycle which basically nobody is willing to do. So you can be mad about it but sitting here fuming that Trump isn't doing enough to give you cheap hamburgers isn't exactly a productive use of anyone's time.
Posted by: ballistic at September 16, 2026 02:31 PM (oqH4h)

As a rhetorical matter, we could blame the Federal Reserve chairman that the courts wouldn't let Trump fire. As a practical matter, no one else would risk a deflationary trap either, let alone induce it on purpose, but making it specific is in their own Rules for a reason. It's effective.

The left is convinced, CONVINCED, that America is only kept afloat because of immigrants.

It's also convinced, CONVINCED, that America is deeply racist, imperialistic, fascist, oligarchical, and all around evil that spreads evil capitalisms everywhere it looks because it's so powerful.

There really is a wedge here to use against the left where they become advocates for all brown people and other immigrants to voluntarily leave America to weaken it.

The conclusion:

In New York, I find that we are always mourning, whether it’s people who have lost their lives or their homes due to rising rents, or the desecration and demolition of institutions that gave our communities meaning, or simply a memory of what this place once was and once gave us—immigrants, poor people, people of color, queers. Once you get to know this place, any street corner might be a memorial, any shuttered storefront could be a headstone, any turn down any block might lead you back to remembering a place or a person that no longer exists.

That sounds like it could be the setup for a fascinating conversation or an unexpected situation, depending on the context! Whether you are hanging out, debating, or just killing time, people with distinct political and social viewpoints usually have a lot of unique perspectives to share.

If you are looking for ways to navigate the situation, here are a few directions you could take:

Have a deep discussion: Ask them about how they view modern economics, community-building, or historical movements.

Find common ground: Move past labels and talk about universal topics like music, movies, food, or local news.

Keep it casual: If you aren't in the mood for a heavy political debate, you can easily steer the conversation toward lighthearted or everyday subjects

181 OT Feel-good story of the day:

ABC News: 'I feel kidnapped': Latino immigrants say they're in legal limbo after being deported to country in Africa
Roughly 25,000 people have been deported to so-called third countries.

Ten years ago, Moreno de Armas arrived in the U.S. after fleeing Cuba. He was legally allowed into the country under a policy that permitted Cubans who reached U.S. soil to stay and pursue legal residency.

He was living in Miami with his family and working at a meatpacking plant when federal immigration authorities detained him last May. He had been trying to obtain legal status through asylum after other forms of legal relief were denied.

Some of the new destinations include Liberia, Ghana, the Central African Republic and Sierra Leone.

"We don't have a visa here or any papers, we are illegal," said Aristides Fernandez Garcia, a Cuban immigrant who was also deported. "We're prisoners here, they won't let us leave or go anywhere. Right now, even if I want to and have the means to travel to any other country, I can't."

"I feel kidnapped," Fernandez Garcia said. "They have violated all the rights that exist in life, because we are human beings."

Stay calm, avoid political topics, and leave the area immediately if you feel unsafe.

Immediate Safety Steps
Do not argue. Silence or a nod does not mean you agree. It keeps the room peaceful.
Change the subject. Talk about the weather, food, sports, or work.
Plan an exit. Look for the door. Check your phone. Make up a polite excuse to leave if you feel stressed.

How to Stay Calm
Breathe slowly. Take deep breaths to lower your heart rate.
Keep quiet. You do not need to fix their views today.

Protect your peace. Remind yourself that you can walk away at any time

Wow. AI is amazing....

229 I found this on our Moreno de Armas:

News accounts simply note the denial was due to filing after the parole expired. A court document in his later habeas case describes his 2016 entry as “without inspection or parole,” which is somewhat at odds with the contemporaneous wet-foot/dry-foot parole descriptions in media reports; the discrepancy has not been publicly clarified in available coverage.

So, if you read between the lines, it's because he didn't come in direct from Cuba--he snuck in through a third country, maybe from MX.
So he couldn't establish when he "landed" so his application to stay was denied.

I'd love it if the refugee hotels would put up big signs or hand out leaflets.

"Congratulations, deportees! You have escaped the racist hellhole of America."

omg I don't want to go read that whole thing, but wtf? Does she know who's committing the murders in NYC? And what exactly does she want? A cemetery on every street corner?

She wants all whiteys gone and wants more Muslim only cemeteries:

"At this point, New York City is home to 23 percent of the entire Muslim population living in America. However, no exclusively Muslim cemetery exists in this city, where “go home” is a familiar anti-Muslim slur. Despite our building community institutions, connections, and lives in New York, “home” doesn't exist for us here in death. Families bury their loved ones upstate, in New Jersey, and as far away as Pennsylvania. While small Muslim sections do exist in some cemeteries within the five boroughs, the demand far exceeds the supply."

235 "Stop glorifying Gandhi," Afridi said in an X post from October 2019. "Gandhi was a racist anti-Black misogynist who referred to even S. Asian Muslims as aggressive bullies."

Now Gandhi was a racist..until he evolved. Those damn British.

What are those f**ing people selling?

Mahmood Mamdani himself was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, in 1946—while his father was temporarily there attending college—his family's roots in East Africa run deep. His paternal grandparents were Gujarati Muslim migrants who moved to East Africa, and both of his parents were subsequently born and raised in the British territory of Tanganyika (now present-day Tanzania).

When Mahmood Mamdani was two years old, the family returned to Tanganyika before relocating permanently to Uganda a few years later, where he grew up. (Wikipedia)

(Under the British colonial system in East Africa, the social and economic structure was organized into a strict, three-tiered racial hierarchy that placed Indian immigrants in a more elite middle position above Black Africans.)

The family itself was part of "divisive power of wealth and race," as many South Asians adopted the prejudices of the colonial system.
