The New York vote was evidence that most people agree with you. New York is a very diverse city that reflects American demographics better than any city. Zohran Mamdani won all the demographics, including, last I looked, the Jewish vote.

The fascists are terrified.

Well, most New Yorkers anyhow. I’m not sure he could have won anywhere south of Mason-Dixon.

I asked a Sikh friend once how he liked living in the South for the spell he was there. He said, “Dude. Have you ever tried living in the South wearing a turban?”

I've never worn one. Do they incorporate sweatbands into modern ones, or would they be permitted to wear one underneath?

I suppose the rules in the Sikh community can be found easily enough, but back then not so much. It was quite awhile ago.

He was a pretty close friend (not the online kind). I always wanted to know more, but I felt like too much of a dumb ass white guy to ask. “Do you wrap a new one every day?” Well, yes, you dumb ass white guy. Don’t you notice the different colors? “Well, do you make a fashion statement with them?” (slaps me in reply). “Why do they always look so new instead of laundered? How many do you have? (slap, slap)

One of my favorite people. Awesome dude.

I am appalled at what old school Dems and the Supreme Court are doing. Our immigration is a nasty mess. It needn't be that way.

Our everything is a nasty fucking mess. Healthcare, disaster relief, veterans, homeless, jobless, corporate greed, government, society. All messes. Hot goddamned ghetto messes all around.

We need a revolution.

First amendment? Freedom of religion? I guess our elected officials never made it to reading the first thing on the bill of rights. Should we be concerned?
