Calls to Dismiss Sea Weaver from New Role

It appears the time has come to let Sea Weaver go from her recently appointed position.

Just days after Mayor Zoran Mamdani appointed this controversial tenant advocate to head the Tenant Protection Office, it’s becoming increasingly clear that her fit for city government is questionable.

Weaver is known for her extreme leftist views, having expressed her support for communism and previously advocated for what she called the “confiscation of private property” on social media back in 2018. Furthermore, she’s shown deep disdain for white individuals, particularly white men.

Her past social media posts have resurfaced since her appointment, showcasing vitriolic sentiments towards white people and a clear contempt for homeownership.

Weaver once characterized homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in videos from 2021, suggesting real estate ownership should shift towards a “shared capital model.”

She mentioned that this change would mean a different relationship to property for families who currently own homes, especially those that are white or even some people of color.

It’s a rather startling perspective, hinting that dismantling white supremacy might just lead to other communities facing losses.

What I find most disturbing is the content she shares on social platforms.

Her deletion of her account seems to be an attempt to distance herself from her more extreme views, almost suggesting she knows her rhetoric isn’t well accepted in the political arena.

Podcaster Michelle Tandler has pointed out that Mamdani seems to support Weaver, having captured screenshots of her inflammatory posts.

One post took aim at gentrifiers, flatly stating there is no such thing as a “good” gentrifier—only those actively working to dismantle systems like white supremacy and capitalism.

In recent statements, Weaver has boldly called for policies that would impoverish the white middle class, asserting that “homeownership is racist.”

Last year, she even promoted the idea of having “no more white men in public office,” which was a thinly veiled message to current officials.

She has also lamented being surrounded by “a bunch of 11-year-old white boys,” questioning the rationale behind having children.

Her anger extends to adult men as well, wishing ill on those who she feels take credit for the work of women.

Moreover, she shared Mayor Mamdani’s earlier statements about socialists aiming to “decommodify” housing—essentially moving away from market-driven ownership and pushing for state assurance of quality housing for all.

This idea reflects what Mamdani calls the “warmth of collectivism,” though it might feel quite the opposite when individual rights to property are diminished.

Weaver’s messages seem more like a facade, hiding the ultimate goal of undermining capitalism and changing the very fabric of American life.

In discussions, she has suggested that schools and community organizations should become “bases of resistance” against the federal government.

As pressure mounts for Mamdani to reconsider Weaver’s role, he remains steadfast in his support of her, seemingly aligned with her views.

For those who believe his policies are progressive, it might be worth examining the realities of those ideals—they often don’t come without significant costs.
