The absolute irony of a Congressman targeting Muslim Americans as those he says should be deported and denaturalized when he doesn't even live in the district he represents.
Congress has done nothing about Randy Fine celebrating Israel killing Americans.
Or calling Rashida Tlaib and Zohran Mamdani "terrorists."

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Tony Kushner truly is the GOAT.
My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.
See? We just need to talk to each other.
