Mamdani turned up at BAYO at Barclay Center yesterday and said he was going to fight to get Haiti off the travel ban and he said Haiti correctly

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

If you can understand why Jews relate to the concept of "Zionism" as an abstract, aspirational call for self-determination and not just through its concrete victims, you should understand why Palestinians might feel the same about the First Intifada. And the reverse is also true.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

"They lit $20 million on fire, and all it did was boost Zohran's numbers. And in no small part because they corrupted their own souls by supporting a person they know to be a corrupt, abusive asshole. What are they gonna do now?" @bradlander.bsky.social, the man you are. (via @hellgatenyc.com)

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

It should go without saying but historically people who propose denaturalization are not, as my grandfather would say, good for the Jews

Centering antisemitism alone, with hardly a mention of Islamophobia, in an electoral race with one of America's most prominent Muslim politicians, is erasure. And it's erasure steeped in Islamophobia itself. Yes, antisemitism should be discussed. But not at the expense of Islamophobia.

Anyway big shout out to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for finding 13 women she didn't think it was worth believing after all, and by "shout out" I mean "primary"

I can't emphasize enough how ugly and pervasive and persistent the "Mamdani hates Jews" campaign was. I'm happy that so many Jews stood strong against that vileness. Maybe people will start to understand that we've had it with being treated as a paranoid, easily manipulated single-issue bloc.

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

He's been doing this for YEARS and not in front of cameras. That's why it comes off as authentic because it's true to what he's been doing all along.

Look, Mamdani taking it IS just one election (admittedly a big one) but the absolute curb stomp he is shaking out to have over Cuomo in what is widely considered to be the biggest Dem stronghold in the country should fire up everybody and also--rightfully--terrify the old guard Dems

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

Two brothers, ages 8 and 10, stared nervously into news cameras on June 19, speaking with quiet determination to a group of onlookers much older than themselves. “We need our dad back home,” the 8-year-old said. ICE took custody of their father, Kerlin Moreno-Orellana, that morning.
