Councilwoman Inna Vernikov @InnaVernikov - Just a casual dinner at Gracie with the lovely, private citizen, shy wifey whose fingers could not keep up with liking posts about the MASSACRE of Jews, and the RING LEADER & CHIEF “NEGOTIATOR” of Columbia’s antisemitic encampments where Jewish students were harassed and intimidated, and where they literally glorified convicted terrorists.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor
For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - I lost my brother today.
Saw him at Thanksgiving, he was just fine. 3 months later he was diagnosed with metastatic cancer with "too many tumors in his lungs to count." Two weeks later he was gone.
Please, if you have cancer in your family, get screened. This is the second brother I have lost to the Big C.
I'll link one below to a good comprehensive test for cancer screening.
I'll be on X less for a while. Or maybe more to take my mind off it. I don't know. I'm knackered at the moment.
Thanks for listening.
