Struggling to imagine the chutzpah it takes to say that someone "doesn't understand New York culture" because they're an immigrant.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art.
They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

Oh btw: the DeepSeek-app isn't the only way to use DeepSeek R1 models. You can f.e. also use ollama (ollama.com) to run them completely locally on your own PC without sending your data anywhere.
