I will be a bummer talking and being angry about genocide until the livestreamed genocide ends. I'd love to be talking about other things but it's hard to think about them much. Free Palestine! He/him

Must admit that I don't really understand what it is about Mamdani that made Schumer deem him essentially persona non grata. (I do get that El Sayed is a *senatorial* candidate, so the stakes for Schumer are more direct).
