Recently learned that my great-great grandfather Tim O'Connor was, per his 1930s obituary, the "first white male" born in Dakota County, Nebraska in the 1850s, which feels like a really on the nose illustration of the whole "how the Irish became white" thing

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

I hate all this talk about how Jews in NYC are "scared" by Mamdani and I hate the implication that I should be too. Why should I be more scared of the progressive Palestinian supporter than I am of the literal white supremacists in the White House? Why am I not being told to fear Stephen Miller?

This is a shockingly racist call by a House Republican for Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported. But instead of being viewed as unserious, it's now being promoted and circulated by LibsOfTikTok, Benny Johnson and MAGA regulars. Democrats need to understand that Republicans are serious.
