Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

What I've been saying.
My loathing for my dead arch nemesis is so intense that I made a fictionalized version of him the villain of THE GHOSTS OF ROSE HILL. 🙃
If you do any amount of historic research you will get a dead arch nemesis.
I have several but the horrifying state of media right now has me wanting to invent a time machine just to get into a barfight with Edward Bernays.
