In addition to her government and advocacy work, Afridi is currently listed as an editor at Pinko, a magazine which describes itself as “a collective for thinking gay communism.” On the masthead, she went by “L. Israh Afridi.” Israh is an Arabic word for “night journey” that is sacred in Islam. . . . .

Afridi is a close friend of Cea Weaver, the notorious top Mamdani housing official who’s called home ownership “a weapon of white supremacy” and expressed a desire to “impoverish the white middle class.”. . .

Afridi is only the latest in a string of oddballs, cranks, antisemites, and Lulu Lenins named into Mamdani’s orbit during his time as mayor.
