Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?
The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.
Read more

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

If your car doesn't have a backseat weight sensor with an alarm and you can't add one, you should put something you can't walk away from the car without next to the car seat when you buckle it in. The easiest and most foolproof thing? Your left shoe.

I have seen very few movies this year so I can't really judge the oscars, but one of the movies I did see was Sinners, and its portrayal of the Jim Crow economy is the film's driving force, even more than its supernatural elements www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

The Jim Crow Economy Is the True Horror in 'Sinners'
The film illustrates the near-impossibility of upward mobility during the segregation era.

A political cartoon. Cecilia Giménez, the artist who "botched" a restoration of a painting of Jesus, died today at the age of 94. The cartoon shows her as a spirit in a blue, cloudy heaven, as Jesus, looking exactly like her "botched" restoration, greets her with an ecstatic "Cecilia!"

Agrivoltaics boost crop yields even when the solar panels aren’t generating power. New research from Canada shows that shading crops with elevated solar panels creates a cooler, wetter microclimate that can lift yields and improve performance across dozens of crops. buff.ly/6eqClf1 #ShareGoodNewsToo
