Brilliant political instincts from the Democratic party as usual. What'll these commies want next, free public transit in Richmond??

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

@techhalla You should be a ward of the state

Zohran Mamdani responsible for massive housing supply increase first day as mayor

[New York Post @nypost]

Over 25% of New Yorkers will consider fleeing NYC if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor: poll https://t.co/9809y78OQV

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

this is, start to finish, the most Conner O'Malley video I have ever seen.

Uhh, it's a commonwealth?? DUMBASS??

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

It used to be possible to treat Matt Yglesias, Noah Smith, Bret Stephens, etc. as amusing buffoons. But with the onset of the genocide, they were revealed as morally depraved psychopaths who will rationalize the blowing up and starvation of babies. They're not a joke anymore.

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

This is precisely why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius (because it was invented by a Daniel)

[Analytic Valley Girl Chris @ChrisExpTheNews]

Daniel Fahrenheit was a Polish thermometer maker, and he chose zero to be the temperature of a eutectic solution of ammonium chloride, specifically because it was substantially colder than ice. He chose 180 for the BP of water because it's easy to divide into fractions

[daniel @macpheed]

Manufacturing consent for genocide as the New York Times has been doing for the past two years is illegal and there need to be consequences. At the bare minimum, the owners and editorial staff should be dragged before the ICC and tried for their crimes against humanity.

[NYTimes Communications @NYTimesPR]

We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.

[daniel @macpheed]

One part of The Monkey takes place in the 90s but (outside of a couple great costumes) everything is clearly late 60s/early 70s which is by a wide margin the most authentic adaptational move possible to make for a Stephen King story

[daniel @macpheed]

In one Spanberger ad, she says she worked "at CIA." But now another has her father saying she worked "at the CIA." So which is it? The people have a right to know

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

In the past month, NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani/"globalize the intifada", 13 on Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign & 2 that mention Gaza child amputees. I argue this is objectively insane https://t.co/kWa5UxAPov

@reider If any of this was true at all then they never would've set up the iron dome system in the first place

[daniel @macpheed]

@BadlandsMcNally I did my best

[daniel @macpheed]

Is it lost on the "rest of the world" here that the only people not understanding this are racists doing it on purpose? It's a political attack, not an accurate representation of the country's prevailing attitude. Is that not obvious?

[Ashok Kumar @comrade_kumar_]

Zohran Mamdani’s ancestry in Uganda traces to the 1800s, when the British Empire brought over 30,000 Indian laborers to build the Uganda Railway from Mombasa to Lake Victoria. The idea that he can’t include Africa in his identity is absurd. Americans need to understand the rest of the world finds their identity politics completely unhinged
