@rafaelshimunov On the website: "Mehmon, the Uzbek concept of the sacred guest, means that whoever walks through the door is treated with unconditional dignity. Not as a customer. Not as a transaction. As someone who arrived and deserves to be welcomed."
False advertising.
After watching @NYCMayor's recent speech at a political rally, I wanted to offer these thoughts to him.
Mayor Mamdani, referring to fellow New Yorkers as “monsters” is outrageous and dangerous, and the impact of your words extends far beyond politics.
It’s not only about your repeated attacks on Israel and those who support it, now rooted in the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theories of secret control and nefarious agendas. It’s about politics and division. You are doing exactly what you falsely accuse others of doing.
Your accusation, Mr. Mayor? Efforts “to turn us against one another instead of our leaders turning toward the moral change we all know to be necessary.”
But when you use your position to label people you disagree with as monsters - people who live and work and pay taxes in the city you lead, people who loved the Knicks championship parade as much as you did, people who spent yesterday celebrating their fathers and grandfathers - you are turning people against one another.
Your speech wasn’t just about preserving your power. By every measure, it was about growing that power by dividing New Yorkers.
You want to debate ideas? Fine. But when you call people monsters, you’re not debating ideas, you’re dehumanizing the people you disagree with. And when that comes from a mayor, it creates an environment where people hear clearly who is being cast as outside the community, one where they wonder whether they can safely live and speak as themselves.
You say we deserve leaders who lead with hope and not fear. We all agree. But what you did here is the opposite.
No one should have to wonder whether they are safe expressing who they are or what they believe, whether they worship at shul, at a mosque, in a church, a gurudwara, or at a temple.
Contributing to an environment in which people feel that fear is not leadership. It is exactly the kind of division you claim to oppose.
The Democrats have a socialist/Marxism problem. When are the TRUE Democrats going to start pushing back on the Marxist trying to take over their party?
@TheView Sunny Hostin is proving she is not a competent attorney. Nearly every statement she made was wrong. Anthony was NOT the only black person under the tent. He was NOT 130 pounds. And, it was NOT self defense.

@seattletimes Good grief. I cannot imagine being so miserable to even consider writing a story like this.
Good to see you have been appropriately ratioed.
This is utterly disgusting. Here's the actual video:
https://t.co/8nhQQBj4PW
It's two Club America girls talking about how thrilled they were to attend a Turning Point event, how excited they were to see Erika, how much they liked her speech, and how great it was to meet her and @Michael_McCoyy. They literally call it a "great experience" with zero negativity whatsoever, and even get their photo with her framed.
"I love Erika so much." "She was so kind." "So freaking nice."
They even call out how they'd seen people attack her online, and meeting her in person showed how untrue those attacks were.
"This is proof that what you see on the Internet is not always true."
To frame this as "grooming" is not merely stupid, it is evil.
@SchmittNYC Socialists love to take credit for the hard work of others. The fact that there is no connection between the election of Mamdani and the Knicks winning the championship escapes her. Proof that her critical thinking is not up to par - she should not be in elected office.
@LA_Mngr_CarylF@adamhousley@adamhousley has impeccable sources and frankly, I cannot remember the last time his reporting was incorrect. But, you expect people to believe a random X poster who is part of #theresistance over a person who has been a legitimate news reporter.
