Last week, I spoke at an annual vigil in honor of victims and survivors of gun violence. Mere days later, families both near and far were shattered again by the acts of violence that have sadly become too routine despite their horror and senselessness.

Armed Parkland police officers ran away
Armed Uvalde police officers refused to act
Unarmed Arab Muslim Ahmed el Ahmed took 2 bullets to protect Jewish neighbors & stopped the mass shooter with his bare hands
Never forget: A good guy w/o a gun had more courage than 100s of cops with unlimited guns

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

President Trump doubled down on vilifying slain director Rob Reiner as deranged and damaging, shrugging off backlash from his own party without remorse. This ego-fueled tyrant poisons civility like acid etching away at shared humanity. #Trump

Heartbreaking news of death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. Rob was not only an award winning creator of amazing movies but also a tireless fighter for America. He had appeared on my SiriusXM show numerous times over the years incl in 2024 talking how comedy/Jon Stewart can impact politics:

BREAKING: Another avoidable American mass shooting.
Early reports indicate 20 people or more may have been shot at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
It’s never too early to politicize this for a safer America. No other country in the world does this happen so often.
