An incredible (deranged Zionist) mind came up with this one. The whole thing is amazing and you should read it to learn how prosecuting the Adams administration will lead to literal pogroms in the streets of NYC, but here are some choice bits:

That’s because being the mayor of a city as big and wealthy and fractious as New York City, which is the second home of pretty much every nationality and subnational group of people on earth, requires that you have working connections to the city’s neighborhoods. The city’s neighborhoods are run by people who get stuff done, which means that being mayor requires at least the pretense of doing favors for the people who do favors for you ... The alternative to this crude political math is to elect billionaires like Michael Bloomberg who are rich enough to bribe the city’s clashing interest groups into submission with their own personal funds.

Prosecuting New York City mayors for their proximity to one form or another of local corruption is like prosecuting bartenders for their proximity to gin.

You can tell he was really proud of this bon mot

What is not politically sensitive, though, is to string up New York City’s Black mayor on charges of minor graft, while letting the big fish swim free. That’s not justice. It’s lawfare—meaning, the weaponization of the law to serve a political agenda.

And whose political agenda would that be? Well, the same people who see Eric Adams’ refusal to welcome unlimited numbers of migrants to New York at the cost of collapsing city services as a moral and political embarrassment, rather than as basic common sense. The same people who can’t stand the sight of a Black ex-cop who knows that the police protect the people far more often than they abuse their powers. The same people who think that preventing “Zionist Jews” from walking across campus or using the library at publicly funded universities like Columbia and NYU is a form of social justice work.

But wait a minute, you may say—what if the accusations are true? What if Hizzoner did receive campaign funds from people close to the Turkish government in return for approving the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan, and illicitly accepted other contributions from people close to foreign governments?

You’re right. I don’t know. But here’s what I do know: I know that Hunter Biden’s laptop

Adams also struggled to fight crime as his party increasingly deemed the very act of policing inherently racist, and he stood for New York’s Jews as his party increasingly snuggled up to their pogromists. The federal government, which has the power to uphold laws and deport foreign students who support terrorism, say, or withdraw funding for universities that coddle antisemitic mobs, many of which appear to have direct links to the foreign terrorist organizations they support, did nothing. Mayor Adams, on the other hand, sprung to action as soon as he could, breaking down the Tentifada encampment at Columbia and repeatedly advocating a zero-tolerance approach to the Hamasniks in our streets.

So because I don’t want to see the weapons of lawfare turned against the Jews; because I don’t want to live in a third-world swamp that prosecutes political enemies and rewards flunkies with impunity; and because I don’t want gangs targeting my wife in Central Park or on the subway or savages chanting “from the river to the sea” outside my children’s day school or my favorite kosher restaurant; because of all that and more, I stand with Mayor Eric L. Adams, a hero to Jews and New Yorkers. When he is reelected, thanks in part to the support of our community, and of all sane New Yorkers, I will proudly pass out squares of Turkish delight.

This is from 2023 but somehow I've only just seen it... My first instinct was to look for Keith Stumer's Azov patch.

Williams has condemned Israel’s defensive military operations in Gaza as a “war crime” and criticized the US Congress for inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak in July.

Williams issued a statement on Oct. 11 of last year, four days after Oct. 7, lamenteing the attacks before calling not to retaliate and shifting attention to oppression of Palestinians.

“We can, we have to be able to, at once grieve the hundreds of innocent lives taken in Israel, and oppose the escalating violence of retaliation, the endless war, the systemic violence and oppression of Palestinians too often ignored, excused, or condoned,” Williams wrote.

Good, at least make Zionchuds seethe

Link to the post

Billboard article for some amazing context.:

The guys arrived in Los Angeles from Israel to work on their debut album on Oct. 6, 2023

The group is composed of... Sadik Dogosh, a Palestinian Bedouin Muslim from Rahat; Palestinian Christian Aseel Farah from Haifa...

A complete psyop.

I know Hasan had Dave 1 from Chromeo atleast a couple times, so that's a good Jewish-Arab music duo to listen to. Other than that, a Palestinian artist I found is Nemahsis through this Lorde cover she did to which Lorde said:

I am so grateful for my Palestinian sister for reminding me why I make art – it speaks when I cannot.

Nemahsis was dropped from her label after October 7 so support her if you can.

Oh, also, I almost forgot. Macklemore did Hind's Halland recently released a sequel, Hind's Hall 2, featuring Palestinian artists. He was recently dropped from his Las Vegas show after he said Fuck America at a Seattle show.

Drop more awesome music recs for people to follow instead of this garbage psyop.

Do you want to speak out against Marcellus' execution before it actually occurs?
Do you think you might be able leverage your political influence to do something to stop it?

No? Okay, well maybe just grandstand and exploit his murder so you can gain clout instead.

Liberals are opposed to every war except the current one, they are opposed to every execution except the pending one

At no point in that half hour is any argument put forward to suggest that Harris will have good climate policy, or any climate policy.
