Unfortunately nobody is going to primary him in my heavily D district. Plus he gets a lot of funding from Silicon Valley execs, including my people.

Zohran Mamdani uses his appearance on Fox News to "speak directly to the president," since "he might be watching right now."

Mamdani looks straight into the Fox camera as he says this >>>

You just know Trump is going to complain about the sentence. He would have preferred the death penalty.

In defense of your husband, what exactly is the problem here?

I think you have a keeper.

BRILLIANT article by Mohammed R. Mhawish:
“Survival is the most meagre inheritance. To call us resilient is to praise the caged bird while ignoring the cage’s latch. Surviving destruction is not the same as defeating it. There’s cruelty in this praise.”

Gaza’s Broken Politics

Every movement that claimed to speak for Palestinians has failed them. The next chapter must belong to those who have endured the devastation.

It's so good to see that the picture shows the diversity that is the Bay Area.

Totally embarrassing.

I'm disappointed and dismayed, the white Susan Collins didn't say.

Buying a cheaper car doesn't work, because the cost of ownership goes up.

If only there was a system of transportation where people were moved between places en masse, and paid a fraction of the cost of going solo.

We could call it "public transportation"

Why can't it be both--parroting, and insider trading?

Serious question: what's the state of the art in AI-generated music, especially in genres like jazz?

It's quite possible the people who made the industry policy in the US were behind their Chinese peers in reading and math ability.

Good to know that the Inca empire was "discovered" by Great White Men.

Next up: the people of Edo had no art culture until the British "discovered" it and marketed it in the West.

I don't think I've ever received a single communication from the DNC that isn't a solicitation.

Nothing about what their positions are, what their agenda is, their accomplishments... Anything to make me want to give them money.

I guess when you don't have results to talk about...

Colonial masters want to impose their will on hapless locals by imposing conditions and appointing a Viceroy.

Haven't we seen this movie before? How has it turned out in the past?

A competent opposition party would be repeatedly blasting that "I don't have a strategy" line across all outlets.

Unfortunately we don't have a competent opposition party.

IANAL, but even I can admire the chutzpah.

These guys give some political appointees at DoJ a run for their money.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Jews and Palestinians (indeed most Arab peoples) semites?
