First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn’t a firearms law. It’s a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.

      How do jurisdictions work? How do laws and politics work?

      Would be nice if Mamdani commented on this, but there’s not much he can legally do as the mayor of NYC. (Not a fan of Mamdani btw, just remarking that elected officials have jurisdiction over specific territory.)

          I’m not arguing that his hands are tied. I said “there’s not much he can legally do as the mayor of NYC”. Obviously it would be pretty based if he did like a direct action or something outside the law or even illegal…but people like that do not self-select to become elected politicians. I.e., it’s not a personal flaw with Mamdani specifically, it’s that all politicians self-select to be complicit in the bourgeois regime, and that politicians should not be considered vehicles of liberation.

          Again, I’m not defending Mamdani. I’m saying that he’s a non-extraordinary example of a politician, who intrinsically, impersonally deserves our scorn 🏴🚩

            Right. I can’t do anything legally so I’ll just do nothing. Even though I’m usually some sort of political superhero. But only when it’s legal.

      He used to be a NYS assembly member, and jumped ship to be NYC mayor. Source, I work in the NYS assembly.
