Screenshot of a post from Null (@Vhoyde) reading "Suing the government when it tries to make groceries affordable is such an American thing," with a crying-laughing emoji. It quotes a post from Pubity: "Mamdani is being sued by the National Supermarket Association for trying to open 5 state-funded grocery stores with reasonable prices. Supermarkets claim they can't compete with Mamdani's prices and that these stores shouldn't be allowed." Below, a photograph of Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaking at a podium bearing the New York City seal, in front of supporters holding "N.Y.C. Groceries" signs.
