Ashura is a time of remembrance, sacrifice and reflection.
Today, on the 10th day of Muharram, we are reminded of Imam Hussain's unwavering commitment to truth and dignity. His timeless legacy reminds us of the enduring values of faith, service to one another, and the belief that justice is always worth fighting for.
Our City’s strength comes from the many faith traditions that shape it — and our shared struggle against injustice and oppression.
May we carry these values forward as we continue building a more just City for every New Yorker.
The Mexican is the brother of the Iranian.
Tears flowed when players saw the massive crowds welcoming them, so they stopped the bus to greet the Mexican people.

Should she not? How is this controversial? How do Republicans of all people, who are obsessed with reflecting their Chrisitan faith in the halls of power, have the nerve to criticize Muslims for saying this?
The gaslighting is just too much.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."
At the G7, a disoriented Trump begins wandering off until Macron raises his voice to get his attention — and then points him in the right direction. Trump looks bloated, miserable, unsteady, and sickly. The look in his eyes is one of total confusion.
"What have the Muslims ever given us?"
Well, apart from algebra, hospitals, universities, paper manufacturing, modern optics, surgical instruments, astronomical tables, navigational advances, Arabic numerals, public libraries, pharmacology, coffee, family morality, prophetic theology, and of course the preservation and development of Greek philosophy that sparked the Renaissance...
...what have the Muslims ever given us?
Trump can't stay awake at the Knicks Finals game in Madison Square Garden.
He wasted our money on this gross spectacle at the White House and can't even stay awake for his own "birthday party."
The man is washed.
establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative
