Seize the means of obstruction! The Democratic Socialists of America are plotting to install a socialist as the City Council speaker – with the goal of making sure Mayor Zohran Mamdani stays firmly to the left. The city chapter of the uber-liberal group, which helped elect card-carrying member Mamdani last year, is proposing a resolution to be voted on by comrades at its convention on Saturday that would set a goal for a socialist speaker for the next election in 2029, when current Speaker Julie Menin will be term-limited out. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks at a press conference at the DSNY HQ in Manhattan, New York, Monday, Nov.
