"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

Thinking about how Mamdani ran on local kitchen table economic issues and didn’t seem insane because that actually *was* what people were concerned about.

Why can’t he just talk like a normal human being? He sounds like a theater student trying to recite lines.
Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."
