We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Minneapolis cops got millions for the PTSD they said they got brutalizing and disabling protesters in 2020!
"At least 155 officers have received worker’s compensation settlements totaling nearly $26 million.. Many of those same officers have questionable histories of misconduct."

When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price.
5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler.
