| The emails say nearly 9 in 10 Social Security beneficiaries won't pay income taxes on their benefits in the future. But the Trump tax law did not directly address Social Security. The Social Security Administration has sent a misleading email to beneficiaries stating that President Donald Trump’s s... |

| I think there's at least as much danger -- and probably much more danger -- of violence from JDL-like pro-Zionist fanatics. After all, they are the ones who would be very upset by a Mamdani victory and would thus have the most likely motive to respond with violence. That group exists and is active ... |

| In the wake of Mamdani’s win there has been a lot reaction such as “How can this happen in a city with the most Jews outside of Israel?”. One major reason it happened because that statement is both true and misleading. That statement is made by people living in the past. In the 1950s Jews represente... |

Repeating an earlier post in this thread “In the OP I opined that if the other candidates stepped aside, Mamdani might lose to S... |

| A personal reflection: This is not the first time the 4th of July that has occurred during a time of division, during a time America was flawed, and during a time of pessimism. There has never been a fourth of July when this was not true in one way or another. I grew up during the Vietnam era an er... |

| I don’t expect a Mamhandi mayoralty to be openly antisemitic or thinly disguised antisemitic. I expect him to show up in support at scenes of antisemitic incidents etc. He will do this without giving up core anti zionist principles. OTOH I do expect some people to interpret his election as a signal ... |
