One of Mayor Mamdani's core political beliefs is that there's no contradiction between opposing antisemitism and supporting anti-Zionism.

That's why he repealed Adams' executive orders mandating the IHRA definition and banning BDS but he's keeping the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

📌Just heard an interview with John Mellencamp.

Jack, in "Jack and Diane" was written as a black dude. They were an interracial couple. Thing is, the music producers didn't like that back then, so it wasn’t sold that way.
Mellencamp was asked why.

"Because America is racist as hell, that’s why ..."

It drives me nuts when a terrible person dies, and we are all supposed to pretend they were great, like telling the truth is somehow uncouth.

Brigette Bardot was a truly despicable racist, homophobe, bigot, and lifelong supporter of fascists. Acknowledge her work, I guess, but don't celebrate her.
