Zohran Mamdani is the ethical power empath the world has been waiting for. MeidasTouch has put together this excellent power clip of the best moments of the NYC mayoral debate between the clear moral leader in the race and the corrupt genocidal moral failures he is running against.

Power empaths like Zohran Mamdani are capable of playing power narcissists like Donald Trump. Donald seems to have met his match.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Over the last six months some key figures in Trump’s coalition have been “reigning over a part of the online right that is sharply veering toward a wide variety of aggressive anti-Jewish messages,” Yoram Hazony tells Ross Douthat on this episode of “Interesting Times.”
