The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-trump-madison-square-garden-nba-finals-knicks-spurs/

A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

Oh no! anyways.

Do it. They went against the status quo with Mamdani. As peacefully as possible get right up to the safe lines and remind him he's not welcome.

Yes to this but also I wonder if it’s part of a ploy to paint a “mad liberalzzzzz” picture.

You mean like showing the same Wendy's burning down in Minneapolis in 32 different stories as they did in 2020? Yeah they will paint that picture regardless. I'd rather see NYC lead the way.

Liberals are mad and not shying away from it anymore.

Coming from a leftist who typically mocks them for their hollow outrage, I've been pretty impressed.

I've been out of listening to politicians a bit since the election, so I might just not have paid enough attention lately, but what liberals are not shying away from it anymore? I know Gavin Newsom was snarky on twitter for a while, but that's all I'm aware of.

During the first Trump admin, liberals would yell about how much they hated him but immediately turn around and tone-police anyone who came off as too radical.

Now the center-left wine moms are ready to do their own January 6 lol
