Thank you so much for your courage ♥️ But if you really want to protect jobs, you should ban cars and mandate hand-pulled rickshaws. Sure it's slower than a car, but more labor will be needed to make it work. I'd suggest horse and carriages but too much benefit to horse work and not human work

I am *very* excited to read this - we really need to embrace a mindset of a) we have agency to make the world better, b) bad things in the world are not a reflection of our own complicity, and c) we can find joy in our own lives even when the outside world seems dark!

[Rachel Cohen Booth @rcobooth]

There are real limits to what we can accomplish in a world where people believe nothing they do really matters.

My book (!) is about how we wound up in a place where millions of people feel like spectators in their own lives. And how we course correct. Because we can.

“@HillaryScholten is the only sitting Democratic member of Michigan’s congressional delegation who hasn’t yet endorsed Democratic nominee @AbdulElSayed.
Asked why she’s staked out such a strong position, in such a difficult political environment, Scholten said, ‘I’m not a radical. In fact, I am radically not radical, and it almost seems like in today’s politics, to be not radical is almost a radical position. Everyone is trying to pull you farther and farther to the extremes, but it is actually a very bold and noble position to stake out this position in the center.’” — @jewishinsider

There are no mulligans in politics. Mamdani botched 10/7 from dawn to dusk. https://t.co/ORL4pX603h

Mayor Mamdani's Oct 7th statement was deliberately offensive to Jews. @NYTimes reports https://t.co/vjyMB6pDIM

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

Thank you, @GovKathyHochul. @NYCMayor Mamdani, Would this have been so difficult to say?

[Kevin Walling @KevinPWalling]

You should have ended with the first paragraph, Mr. Mayor.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

This is a reprehensible statement on the anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack by a Palestinian terrorist organization against innocent Israelis.

In the guise of “grieving” with those mourning that day, Mayor Mamdani asserts as fact hotly disputed allegations that he knows full well will offend and further upset those same people he pretends to grieve with.

On this day of all days, the Mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel embraces extreme activism instead of balanced leadership.

[Nadav Pollak @NadavPollak]

I just can't anymore.
For one day, just one, maybe stop with the "two sides".
For one day, be with your fellow Jews in their pain and suffering. Grieve with us instead of trying be "ok" with everyone.

You forgot who you are

“El-Sayed recently called Piker and warned his rhetoric was costing El-Sayed votes, asking him to stop”

Why would you draw this inference from someone being able to narrowly win Michigan in a year with a D+9 generic ballot?

[andrew mark bennett @acandidworld]

The illegibility of antisemitism: Reasonable, informed people will read the New York Times and never know that a pilot tried to down an airplane full of Jews.

[Dan Senor @dansenor]

This statement cannot be real. It must be a dark dark dark parody.

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

How can you be a card-carrying true believer of the DSA — an organization that makes anti-Zionism a requirement for membership — and still fight all forms of antisemitism?

Mayor Mamdani refuses to name all the sources of the hate Jewish New Yorkers face.

Security grants do not substitute for moral clarity. A mayor who will not define antisemitism, will not confront terror flags being marched around in Jewish neighborhoods and terror sympathizers at the doorstep of a synagogue, and will not put his own politics aside is not fighting this crisis. He is managing around it.

The mayor’s actions or inactions only serve to help fuel antisemitism in NYC. This “plan” is just further proof.

[ADL New York / New Jersey @ADL_NYNJ]

.@NYCMayor Mamdani's antisemitism strategy finally landed and only confirms what we already knew: this mayor does not treat the hate facing Jewish New Yorkers as an emergency and refuses to acknowledge the different shapes it takes. Since he took office 271 days ago, ADL has recorded hundreds of antisemitic incidents in NYC, nearly 40% of which were related to Israel.

After throwing out the IHRA definition on his first day in office, nine months later, his signature strategy still refuses to replace it with any working definition of antisemitism. He has looked the other way as flags glorifying terror groups have been flown outside synagogues, a deliberate act meant to intimidate families walking in to pray, and as crowds gathered outside houses of worship voicing support for the same groups. At the same time, he continues prioritizing his anti-Israel agenda over the basic promises he made to Jewish New Yorkers.

Our expectations have not changed: zero tolerance for antisemitism and extremism in city government, real protection for Jewish institutions, a clear and formal definition of antisemitism that the city actually uses, and city contracts, pensions and procurement kept free of ideological boycotts. ADL will keep tracking and fighting antisemitism in New York City and across the country, whether or not this mayor is willing to do the same.

[Matt Bennett @ThirdWayMattB]

100% agree. How did so many Dem staffers become such delicate snowflakes and/or disloyal shitheads?

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Your job is to help your boss server her constituents and win elections, and if she needs help with her lizard then you help her with her lizard. I don’t understand the conception of a workplace in which you’d leak to the press about this like it’s a scandal.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

Why is J Street saying that Diaspora Jews bear responsibility for Israel's actions? This is an anti-Semitic talking point. It's honestly baffling what has happened to this organization.
