So the understandable idea that we need leaders of "both sides" to denounce political violence is, I believe, a nonstarter. MAGA's whole rhetorical mode, for 10 yrs, has been advocacy of violence. It'd have to denounce itself. It won't. So what else we can do to slow the rush toward more? 2/3

America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.
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?"
