The Muslims are indoctrinating our children in American schools with Al-Khwarizmi and Al-Jabr!
Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools?
Arabic numerals are simply the digits 0 through 9—the standard number symbols used in every classroom in the United States.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Immigrants are an essential part of every sector of our economy, and this government’s ideological crusade will prove very expensive. It is demonstrably anti-growth and post Brexit we certainly don’t have the luxury to indulge this nonsense

Zohran Mamdani støtter demokrati, skeives rettigheter og religionsfrihet. Han har en kone uten hijab men med en egen karriere.
Han er muslimen som *kremt* "islamkritikerne" sier at de ønsker seg.
Men de hater ham likevel.
Rart det der.

Your reminder that research consistently shows that immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens.

De borgerlige har altså mast så mye om gründerne som kan bli rammet av formuesskatten i tidlig fase, men når det kommer et forslag som vil skjerme dem, viser det seg at gründerne ikke var så viktige likevel. Det var, som det alltid har vært, de aller rikeste som var viktige.
Økt bunnfradrag løser ikke problemene med formuesskatten
Et bunnfradrag på ti millioner kroner betyr at formuesskatt kun for de én til to prosent rikeste. Det er der vi finner bedriftseierne.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
