Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

Full-on antisemitic blood libel outside Union Station yesterday. This is disgusting and unacceptable. And it only undermines the fight for Palestinian rights by falsely linking it to this hate.

Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive” - they are symbols of racist and antisemitic hate, violence, and genocide. By no longer classifying them as hate symbols, the Coast Guard is doing nothing less than normalizing violent extremism.

Dean is among the very best public servants. He knows government better than anyone. He cares deeply about New York and puts the public good above politics. I saw this firsthand when I worked with him in City Hall — and we would be so lucky to have him back in this role.
New: Zohran Mamdani's expected to later this morning announce he plans to appoint Dean Fuleihan as his first deputy mayor, per sources.
Fuleihan served in the same role under Bill de Blasio.

I’m genuinely glad some GOP leaders are naming Tucker Carlson’s dangerous antisemitism.
But it’s only words unless they also grapple with the broader normalization of antisemitism — including replacement/invasion conspiracies and the appointment of extremists to key federal roles.

If you’re shocked by the Heritage Foundation defending Tucker Carlson — who’s done more to normalize antisemitism & white nationalism than almost anyone — you haven’t been paying attention. That same extremism is at the core of Project 2025, from mass deportations to gutting core democratic rights.
1. A watershed moment.
The President of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, Kevin Roberts , has announced that the organization is standing by Tucker Carlson in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.
This isn’t Kevin bending his knee to Trump…this is something new

Just blatant bigotry. It’s not hard to call out Mamdani’s positions without resorting to Islamophobia. And yet…

Years ago I got a skull and crossbones tattoo with my buddies in the Marines.
I was appalled to learn it closely resembled a Nazi symbol. I altered it yesterday, into something that isn't deeply offensive to my core beliefs.

As I told the @nytimes.com, over the last decade there’s not only been a normalization of this antisemitic, neo-Nazi extremism by political leaders, but also a desensitization to it — so none of this should be surprising, even if it’s still shocking.
“.. the fact that the nomination got this far illustrates how much antisemitic and hateful rhetoric has been normalized, explained away or rewarded by Republicans in power.”
