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.

At the risk of getting yelled at, this is part of why I keep saying blue state NIMBYism is a travesty for democracy. When we make it so that low-income immigrants, LGBTQ people and pregnant people can't afford to live where they want, think about what they end up being subject to.
Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen.

This is madness.
