The only way I can understand the ridiculous criticism of Zohran Mamdani for calling his mom's cousin his aunt is if this is a secret plot to say something so idiotic that it mobilizes the vote in SUPPORT of Zohran.

"In a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in early October, 41% of likely voters in New York City said Mamdani’s views on Israel aligned closest with their own, compared to 26% for Cuomo."

For one hour a day, while on break from work, he walks the streets around the US Capitol with a simple sign.

He's asking what you think he's asking.

Who are we as Americans?
Who are we as a society?
What is happening to us?

He says that he has only had good conversations.

"Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on #Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to #genocide in #Gaza.

Should Trump rule over Gaza?

Obviously not. But that's what his plan proposes.

I go over the Trump plan for Gaza in @theintercept.com:

"... experts and aid groups have warned for months that Israel’s restrictions of food and aid into Gaza and a relentless military offensive were causing starvation, particularly in children and pregnant women."

"Under the plan, Trump would personally chair an Orwellian “Board of Peace” that would rule over #Gaza, with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair at his side."

ICYMI: Here is the photo released by the White House of Netanyahu apologizing to Qatar's ruler for bombing his country.

The report estimates that nearly 100 million total U.S. jobs could be automated over the next 10 years. 89% of fast food jobs, 64% of accounting roles, and 47% of trucking positions could be replaced.

Two apologies from Van Jones.

For his first apology, he turned public replies off after being flooded with criticism. Then he posted a second apology with no public replies allowed.

In both, he avoids naming who is killing the babies of Gaza that he joked about -- Israel.

Some real backflips to avoid saying the word genocide:

Reporter @anniekarni.bsky.social of the @nytimes.com refers to "the Israeli government's management of the conflict in Gaza."

"Management" of a "conflict"

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum says that “genocide prevention” is a key part of its mission.

But they are silent on Israel's #genocide in #Gaza.

Museum executives have received 60K emails urging @ushmm.bsky.social to end its silence.

Israel does not provide bomb shelters to its Palestinian / Arab citizens.

Israel builds bomb shelters in Jewish communities but ignores Palestinian / Arab communities in Israel.

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already.

Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea.

It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.

On Friday, I asked Gov. Tim Walz about Trump punching down at the weak:

"What would it mean for Democrats to be really good at punching up?"

What do you think of his reply?

Thank you Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and Rep. Davidson for your sober words re the US, Israel, and Iran.

Too many US politicians are too quick to rubber stamp the next Middle East war.

A different world IS possible.

If you are a New Yorker who is tired of Cuomo's broken politics, get out there and VOTE for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

"The survey ... found Mamdani beating Cuomo 35% to 31% ... narrowly within the 4.1% margin of error."
