If, in addition to Brad, Zohran’s transition advisors include Patrick Gaspard and Lina Khan… babes, we’re in good shape

He did not. There is no such tape

Man, Liberty really need JJ back. Sabally came up with some clutch minutes as backup 5 late last season, but she doesn’t cut it starting in the W

New York politicians whom journalists never hold responsible for the feelings of Palestinian New Yorkers at hearing their words. (Not that Zohran actually said “Globalize the intifada” — he didn’t.)

Of course I understand why, to many Jewish New Yorkers, “Globalize the Intifada” is a scary slogan. Imagine how “Am Yisrael Chai” must sound to Palestinian New Yorkers.

At a time when there is so much handwringing about the "male loneliness epidemic," I genuinely think Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani are modeling healthy cishet male friendship. And the fact they did it while officially running against each other for the same office is kind of inspiring.

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

That's right

Interesting how fond of disparaging “virtue signalers” and “the ideological purity test” @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social was until Zohran’s victory turned him into a virtue signaling ideological purity tester…

From the way he adjudges which phrasings are acceptable and which not, you’d never guess this guy had spent the last year and a half offering steadfast support for furnishing a genocidal regime with all the instruments of death it may need to annihilate a civilian population of over two million

This is the Turbocharge The Gestapo bill

Why do goyish hucksters like Swalwell and Gillibrand think Jerry Nadler, Brad Lander, and Bernie Sanders hold such contempt for Jewish people and our safety that they’d endorse Zohran?

Swalwell here I guess confesses to being an antisemite?

Pretty certain Collins and Murkowski are gonna for sure do the right thing next time. They’re basically Democrats right? Yeah, we can definitely count on them!

When is the appropriate time for rebuilding this party?

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

We got AIPAC recipients out here defending Zohran. Peculiar times…

This from @zunguzungu.bsky.social is one of my main “tap the sign” relentlessly re-deployables.

Love a good “Muslim isn’t a race” guy. Alright Brent, list all the races.

Kirsten Gillibrand needs to know Jews oppose her inflammatory racist fear-mongering. Add your name! actionnetwork.org/letters/sena... via @ifnotnowmovement.org

Trump is seizing the powers of the legislature and the judiciary, and the legislature and judiciary are ratifying those seizures. The world has never seen a dictatorship with security and military forces this powerful.

Robed scholars with lifetime appointments predicated on their special insights into the intentions of long-dead patriarchs? Theocratic nonsense.

Have you ever once heard a politician who is gunning for war or an intensification of the criminal legal system challenged by a mainstream journalist to justify how they’re going to pay for their policies? You hear it every time the policies in question involve housing, healthcare and education.

Been thinking a lot about the Jaslin Kaur for City Council campaign in 2021, which I’m incredibly proud to have worked on. We didn’t win, but we totally altered the political terrain of far east Queens, and that’s so clear to see in Zohran’s victory map. (He also was instrumental in that campaign)

Him?

Wish Lehrer had said to Gillibrand, “Oh so you care more about Jewish safety than Jerry Nadler and Brad Lander?”

For Gillibrand, “[Intifada] is a serious word. It is a word that has deep meaning.” Just, not it’s *Arabic* meaning.

The question is whether Hochul will relent out of fear of (or under active threat of) a Tish James primary challenge…

Hearing crypto-shill/sexual-assault-foe-turned-sex-pest-endorser @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social just declined to endorse Zohran on Brian Lehrer. Time for the right wing of the party to drop their purity tests and virtue signaling and vote Blue no matter who!

Mamdani wins the primary with hearty support from the Jewish left, cross-endorses with Brad Lander, wins the Upper West Side, wins Dan Goldman's district, gets Jerry Nadler's endorsement The NYT:

Probably the most frequently repeated injunction in the Torah is that we treat strangers as we would treat ourselves. That is to say, if there ain’t equal rights for all, it ain’t no Jewish state.
