This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Farmworkers feed America — often in dangerous conditions for low wages.

Last summer, at a legal clinic we hosted with @ufw.bsky.social, we heard directly from immigrant farmworkers about their experiences working in the field.

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001.

We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid.

We will never forget.

And for now, the Supreme Court has signed off on such dubious practices without an explanation. Every American, including those who want tougher enforcement of our immigration laws, should demand that ICE does its job in a way that protects the rights of all Americans.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence.

You can do both.

No one in this country should have to fear gun violence, whether they're in class in high school or attending an event on a college campus.

I strongly condemn the shooting that killed Charlie Kirk today at Utah Valley University.

May his memory be a blessing.

Wow! Listen to this list of acts of political violence. It’s not even complete, but sobering AF.

Now, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in front of a crowd, and the video is all over social media. This needs to stop.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

What happened today is awful. People who fight against gun violence, people who loathe what Charlie Kirk stood for, must also condemn political violence. It’s a vicious cycle. This is a very dangerous moment.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.
