100%. He’s not even the first racist Republican to call for Zohran to be deported.

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

We love it when a march we help organize is so big we make an educated guess via block counts how many people are here 😃

Grocery prices are out of control. 1 in 4 NYC kids isn't getting enough to eat. Local government must act.

Today I'm announcing a major new proposal to lower costs and tackle price gouging: city-owned grocery stores.

Ta-Nehisi Coates wields words like sledgehammers.
A paragraph from Ta-Nehisi Coates' book The Message, which reads: "It may seem strange that people who have already attained a position of power through violence invest so much time in justifying their plunder with words. But even plunderers are human beings whose violent ambitions must contend with the guilt that gnaws at them when they meet the eyes of their victims. And so a story must be told, one that raises a wall between themselves and those they seek to throttle and rob."
