Well, here's a plot twist that shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention to the progressive fever swamp: a nonprofit cozying up to anti-Semitic Muslima Linda Sarsour, longtime cheerleader for New York City mayor-elect, Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, has been swimming in public cash like it's an open bar at a DSA happy hour. Public records lay it out plain as day: $4.1 million over seven years, courtesy of the good folks in City Hall and Albany who apparently think funding radical activism is just another line item in the budget.
The Arab American Association of New York (AAANY), where Sarsour reigned supreme from 2005 to 2017, pocketed over $3.3 million from the city and $854,000 from the state between her exit and 2024. The state cash mostly flowed from the New York State Department of State, with a cheeky $20,000 sprinkle from the Office of Children and Family Services, because nothing says "family values" like bankrolling allies of Hamas fanboys.
On the city side, it's a black box of bureaucratic bliss: one $60,000 check from the Department of Small Business Services, and the rest shows no agency named, no questions asked. Watchdog OpenTheBooks had to dig through the muck to expose it, because transparency is so last century in Bill de Blasio's dystopia.
This bombshell drops right after Sarsour's latest victory lap, where she gloated about Mamdani's win and dangled threats over any Democrat who dares to love the Jewish state of Israel.

Mamdani, predictably radio silent on whether he'll keep the gravy train chugging for his pal's old outfit once he parks his keffiyeh in Gracie Mansion.
Democratic NY Gov. Kathy Hochul was mum on whether Albany's checkbook stays open for AAANY's agitprop. One can only imagine the internal memo: "Priorities: not affordable housing; but increased Sarsour slush funds, definitely.
It all bubbled up from a Canary Mission video of Sarsour preening at a September Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) confab, boasting that a CAIR-backed PAC was Mamdani's top sugar daddy, a nugget the Free Beacon flagged back in June. Remember, CAIR's boss Nihad Awad lit up the interwebs in late 2023 by admitting he was "happy to see" Hamas's Oct. 7 bloodbath against Israel. Classy crowd of racist pukes.
Fresh off Mamdani's triumph, Sarsour wasted no time Thursday at a Puerto Rico shindig, vowing to purge pro-Israel Democrats from the party like they're haram. "You do the right thing, you keep your job," she crowed. "You don't do the right thing, you don't keep your job. There are some people that will do the right thing for the wrong reasons, but we don't care why you do the right thing as long as you do the right thing. If you do it because you think you're getting primaried, that's okay with us. People are saying 'free Palestine' because now they're getting primaried. Free Palestine." Ah, yes, the timeless leftist logic: Motives don't matter if the outcome feeds the narrative. Primaries as protection racket, 2025 edition.
Sarsour's out of the AAANY driver's seat these days, but don't worry, the radical bus hasn't slowed down. Current honcho Marwa Janini, a vet of Students for Justice in Palestine, threw her weight behind a 2021 petition pushing global boycotts of the Jewish state. The group's official line? All sunshine: "to support and empower the Arab Immigrant and Arab American community by helping them adjust to their new home and become active members of society." But under Janini, it's been pedal-to-the-metal on Mamdani's "Not on Our Dime" bill, which would've kneecapped New York nonprofits for any whiff of "unauthorized support for Israeli settlement activity." Mamdani's still playing coy on whether that covers, say, Band-Aids for West Bank civilians, humanitarian aid being such a slippery slope when you're auditioning for the anti-Zionist league.
And let's not forget AAANY's star turn backing the "Flood Brooklyn for Palestine" blowout just days after Oct. 7. What started as a "protest" turned into a full-on tantrum: roads gridlocked, street fires lit, eggs hurled at cops, and chants that made the Weather Underground look like a book club. NYPD scooped up about two dozen of the 5,000-strong mob. As one ringleader bellowed, as per the New York Post, this wasn't some milquetoast ceasefire plea, they were gunning for "an end to the occupation."

Sarsour and Mamdani go way back, bonding over Khader El-Yateem's flop of a 2017 city council run. She's maxed out donations to his mayoral bid and dubbed him her "favorite guy," but don't get it twisted, she's got the accountability whip ready. "I won't let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall," she promises.
Speaking of which, Sarsour's resume reads like a greatest-hits album of Jew-hating tropes: Zionism as "white supremacy in America," endless sniping at Israel's, and thereby the Jews' very existence. In 2017, Sarsour was the Women's co-chair where she platformed Louis Farrakhan's bile and Rasmea Odeh, the convicted terrorist.
She is also the BDS queen snake [no bees here], insisting "One cannot be a feminist and a Zionist at the same time." Small wonder the March's founder booted her for good, blasting the "anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric" she'd normalized.
In a sane world, taxpayers wouldn't subsidize this circus of a clusterfrack. But in Hochul's New York, where Mamdani's squad treats public funds like venture capital for revolution, it's just another day ending in 'y'.
