I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

A new study suggests drones are a useful tool to keep livestock safe + more importantly, keep wolves safe. Many states kill wolves if they attack livestock, despite studies that show non-lethal methods (like drones) are more effective at fostering coexistence.
