Fat muslim woman serving in the US armed forces says she will refuse orders if they target Muslims

Councilwoman Alexa Avilés explains her opposition to buffer zones bills: Bills “are a message against dissent, in particular against pro-Palestinian voices, in a moment when free speech is under attack, when New York City should be protecting our rights, not curtailing them.”

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard. Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that. Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it. That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City. If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message. Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.
