Honestly, this is a more coherent understanding of antisemitism than that of most American Jewish organizations.

People criticize Abdul for these cute corny videos, but the truth is Muslim candidates in 🇺🇸 kinda *have to* do this to convince moderates that they’re not jihadis

Zohran pulled it off with his suits and magnetic smile, Abdul with this

It hits like crack for suburban white moms

It’s not a good look even for centrists to force the Democratic nominee to drop out based on some third-hand allegations with no proof.

We know Graham Platner had marriage issues and sent a few messages, but he has been in marriage counseling already.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Maybe Republicans should spend more time condemning stuff like this and less time condemning the mayor of New York.

I’ll keep calling it out: giant corporations are manipulating the market to jack up prices.

So ask yourself this question. Mamdani is not just a phenomenon of a political talent but he has learnt from Obama that patriotism is the life blood of leadership. As is joy and hope. Any National Dem could have chosen today to make a speech to the nation. Where are Jeffries or Schumer? Newsom, Shaprio, Pritzker, Ossoff et al. Nature abhors a vacuum and the mayor of NYC has taken the leadership of the opposition to the administration and will hold it until someone else does so. He is using his legal inability to run for the highest office as an advantage to be the national voice of the party through influence rather than ambition. He’s exceptionally good at it.

Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism. 

American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.

And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.

For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.

We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.

The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.

It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.

This is complete bullshit. Trump destroyed the pool. Send HIM to prison.
