I canโ€™t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

"N.Y.C. Mayoral Candidates Move to Capitalize on Adamsโ€™s Departure
Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa hit the campaign trail on Monday after Eric Adams left the race, while Andrew Cuomo called donors."

Highlighted in blue is "while Andrew Cuomo called donors."

Graduating to a hard top next session.

Itโ€™s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ
