Imagine if Zohran Mamdani had misquoted the Declaration of Independence in his 4th of July speech. We'd get a hundred threads about how this proves yet again that immigrants aren't real Americans and shouldn't be elected to public office

[Damninik @domzacker]

@StephenM you must understand that you’re a bitch

[Acyn @Acyn]

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.

I believe that you’re a bitch

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

If you believe a child born to a foreign mother flying over US airspace is an automatic American then you do not believe in citizenship.

Hasan Piker: “Donald Trump literally made it illegal to be trans and an athlete in the NCAA. Did you experience any fucking material improvements in your life? No, of course you didn’t. Is that fixing the fucking gas prices? Giving Israel more money, is that going to fix your gas prices? We’ve been giving Israel $10B a fucking year. Have things gotten better in that process? Has ICE improved your lives? Elon Musk is a fucking trillionaire. Did it do anything for you that’s positive? No, of course not”

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Our whole city is cheering for the Knicks tonight.

So it’s only right that we bring the Knicks to the whole city.

Tonight, Game 5 will be streaming on 130 LinkNYC kiosks.

Let’s go Knicks.

Don’t worry guys it will trickle down soon!

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

If Karmelo Anthony was white, and the victim was black.....

MAGA would call it a kangaroo court and call on Trump to give Karmelo a pardon. He would be speaking at the next RNC, and would be treated as a hero.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Imagine calling Biden sleepy Joe For 4 years.

And then you elect a guy who falls asleep at a Knicks game, during meetings, in court.

MAGAs are parodies of themselves

@MikeDrucker As someone once said: Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, and a stupid man's idea of a smart man.
