If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder. But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

She still faces the threat of deportation, apparently in retaliation for co-authoring a piece for her student newspaper about Gaza.
