the tidal wave of racist anti-Muslim sentiment directed at Zohran Mamdani and not to mention the weird & poisonous sectarian posturing by Cuomo’s campaign is truly stunning and worth serious news coverage.
Tweet pointing out Zohran Mamdani has spoken at some 50 Sunni mosques, quote tweeting comments by Cuomo that he divides the Sunni Muslim community Tweet from an NYC reporter about a new TV ad from a big business funded super PAC placing “Jihad on NYC” over Mamdani’s face

Alex Odeh’s murder remains unsolved 40 years later. To many Palestinians and other Arabs in Southern California, his death serves as a grim reminder of the discrimination the community has faced.
