I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism. I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists. I know where my allegiance lies.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

• Mamdani is NOT in the country illegally • Mamdani does NOT have any connection to 9/11 or jihadist terrorism • Mamdani has NOT said or done anything antisemitic • Mamdani did NOT call to "globalize the intifada" • Mamdani is NOT a communist www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Mamdani: "Yes, aunties."

ZOHRAN MAMDANI

I would have loved the Mamdani campaign to have leapt on the dispronunciation thing. "How could my opponent POSSIBLY lead a major city when he's incapable of learning 5 syllables in 9 months?!"

Zohran Mamdani Wins, Brings Fight to Trump

The former Afghan Women's National Football Team, now known as Afghan Women United, took the field last week for their first games in four years. Their return after the Taliban banned all sports for women and girls is a victory for human rights.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel. That's all erased now.

Standing Together (Israeli-Palestinian group) responds to Trump’s Gaza peace plan. US unveils Gaza peace plan proposing an end to the Israel-Hamas war, hostage releases, and a new path to lasting coexistence

I hope/pray this very flawed ‘deal’ from Trump that Hamas & Israel agreed to ends the genocide & famine & leads to a real ceasefire. But my biggest fear is there is nothing and no one to stop Netanyahu from resuming the genocide once they get all the hostages back and Trump has his Nobel Prize.

"National security threatened by climate crisis, UK intelligence chiefs due to warn" Surely, the tacit implication of this, is that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, and even Keir Starmer are a dire threat to national security, and should be arrested? www.theguardian.com/environment/... 1/2

As all eyes are on the negotiations in Egypt, the Israeli military launched airstrikes that killed over 100 Palestinians as of yesterday morning. This despite Hamas agreeing to release all hostages under the US-facilitated ceasefire plan on Friday.

The Israeli government's planned hosting of Tommy Robinson is a reprehensible betrayal of Jewish values and history. Robinson is a racist street thug. He is no friend of British Jews. We must never permit the far-right to exploit antisemitism to attack Muslims. Good to discuss on i24News.

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

My mom wouldn’t be alive today without Naloxone. That’s why I introduced legislation to ensure patients who are at-risk of overdosing can leave the hospital with naloxone in hand. We know naloxone saves lives - let's make sure everyone who needs it can access it.

I used to think America was headed towards a civil war. Now I think more “revolutionary war”. The difference? A civil war is between two factions. A revolution is the citizenry overthrowing the government. I’m seeing more Dem + MAGA voices coming to similar conclusions about US power structures.

Netanyahu: "Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not" Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39. Ignorant of Jewish history.

Section 28, which aimed to ban ‘the promotion of homosexuality’, was repealed in England and Wales on 18 September 2003. We marched in protest against it under banners proclaiming ‘Never Going Underground’. The lesson applies still.
