As

points out, NYPL has its own physical library infrastructure at Rikers. While Brooklyn Public Library also has a program that works with people on Rikers, they have to cart in books every time.

Read this carefully: this is about Zionism and Israel. Nothing more, nothing less. Mamdani backed anti-Zionist candidates who DNC funders do not like. So theyâre sending out overseers to do some beating. Tish James is a stalwart Zionist & will now shit on the idea of representative democracy.
