Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.
Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.
Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.
And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.
Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.
And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.
@joon_lovebot if armys are jealous of bts because they get to be with bts all the time and bts is jealous of armys because they get to be with armys all the time... then who drives this bus 😭
There is zero way around the initial discomfort of doing something alone btw. It’s going to feel weird to sit with yourself and I won’t downplay that, but it feels worse to miss out on the things you want to do and places you want to go because you are waiting on company to do so
au where aang speaks the long extinct language of the air nomads but because he’s the avatar, he had just begun learning the common language before he disappeared so he speaks enough to converse with katara and sokka but they spend all of book one with a slight language barrier
i couldn't find any high fantasy characters with hearing aids so i designed some!
i tried to keep them simple/low tech so they're applicable for as many worlds as possible, while still holding close to how they function irl
hopefully it inspires others in the future!
