Why can't Mamdani create a similar video, speaking in Hebrew and eating Israeli falafel (or bagel) and smiling at the camera with the Israeli flag in his background, for the sake of Jewish voters in New York; the city with the largest Jewis
population outside Israel? Wouldn't this make more sense?

I know you know this but it should be made clearer and clearer that Garland was simply a Biden employee and the decision not to prosecute Trump properly is primarily a Biden Administration choice

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

Jonathan Greeblatt is so mind numbingly racist and incapable of focusing on anything of importance that he apparently thinks Huda Mustafa, a Palestinian contestant of Love Island, is the same person as Huda Kattan, founder of Huda Beauty.

“Moreover, the President routinely appears lethargic—falling asleep during important events, such as the court proceedings where he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Or, when he appeared to struggle to stay awake during the funeral of His Holiness Pope Francis.”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Overcrowded shelters in #Gaza leave little space or privacy.

For many displaced women and girls, daily life means coping without dignity, safety, or adequate hygiene. Limited access to healthcare and basic hygiene supplies makes each day a struggle.

Every woman deserves protection and care.

We need to put pressure on our governments to pressure Israel to let this money go to Palestinians of Gaza. People from around the world donated millions of dollars to thousands of global organizations and none of it has made it to the people it was meant for

People gave a record amount of money to multiple organizations for the people of Gaza and all this money just sat there for the past 2 years because Israel blocked it. I hope this money gets distributed quickly now so that the people of Gaza don't have to beg anymore
