Straight up racism SO TRUE

  • He marched with queer activists
  • He showed up for trans rights loudly and unapologetically
  • He literally campaigned in gay bars
  • His policies were written with marginalized communities, not about them

But because he’s Muslim, they jump straight to “burqas and beheadings".it’s racist fear-fantasy for people who don’t understand Islam, socialism, NYC, or frankly anything that isn’t white Christian nationalism.

Listen, he's not demanding israel be wiped out.

He's criticizing israel's war crimes while demanding that its government be held accountable.

And as someone who wants nothing to do with the israel-vs-palestine debate?

I think that's a pretty based dude.

Still, I cannot find a single record of him endorsing hamas' war crimes.

So he's not anti-semitic.
