And beyond Becka Thompson's racism, I can fact check her dumb punditry: Aisha Chughtai didn't pretend to be anything but who she is. Didn't claim to be the moderate and wasn't perceived that way. She worked hard, won the most votes. Becka doesn't know what that looks like.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

The footage confirms what we knew all along: The Trump administration lied about Mahmoud Khalil's arrest.
His detention is illegal and unjustified. It's time for him to come home.

"There is no fiscal responsibility when you do this. When we take away people's health care, they end up in the emergency department. It costs more money for everyone in the community."
