In the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party, strategists think Project 2029 can shape the future agenda. But are they learning from past mistakes or ignoring the voices of progressives like Mamdani, Sanders, and AOC?

Despite winning an election in the most Jewish city in America, repeatedly speaking about the need to combat antisemitism during his campaign, and cross-endorsing Jewish candidate Brad Lander, pro-Israel politicians and pundits claim that Mamdani’s win makes Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe because he has refused to condemn the phrase “Globalize the Intifada”, a slogan that encourages international support for the Palestinian cause.

Mamdani has never actually used the phrase himself.

Responding to a slew of inaccurate statements from an anti-Palestinian caller on The Brian Lehrer Show, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said that New York Jews were “alarmed” by Mamdani’s positions, “particularly references to global jihad.”

Lehrer pushed back on Gillibrand’s assertion, asking the Senator whether she had any proof that Mamdani supported violence. “Again Brian, I don’t have all the data and information, and I’ve never sat down with Mr. Mamdani,” she responded. “So I’ve asked to have that meeting.”

Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) baselessly claimed that Mamdani has called for violence against Jewish people in the past.

Current New York Mayor Eric Adams told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Mamdani was antisemitic because he praised Hamas. When Tapper questioned the claim, Adams told him that he would be able to find proof by doing a “little research.”

Democratic Party lawmakers are refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani and are spreading lies about him in the

Despite his decisive primary victory and impressive campaign, many Democratic lawmakers are refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani and are spreading baseless lies and smears in the process.

Somehow I had been stuck on Darktable 3.8 for a while, so I finally uninstalled the system package of it, and bumped up to the 5.2 flatpak, and it's amazing! A bit of adjustment, and there we go! King says hi. I hope eventually rhinos can multiply and be less critically endangered.

Thanks for seeing my work!

Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball (2012)

Quante volte ci si chiede se un musicista ormai datato della scena artistica mondiale, con decine e decine di album pubblicati, abbia ancora qualcosa di nuovo da farci sentire? E' molto probabile che, se il musicista non appartiene alla nostra sfera di preferenza, lo si liquidi subito, a volte ancor prima di ascoltarlo, con un bel “niente di nuovo”, “album inutile”, “ormai finito” ecc. ecc.; se invece è un nostro beniamino o ancor meglio apparteniamo alla sfera dei suoi fans incalliti, è molto probabile che il nostro giudizio sia “oscurato” dal classico velo affettivo che, per carità non è “pietoso”, ma senz'altro poco obbiettivo. Ecco, tutta questa premessa per arrivare a dire che, personalmente, pur appartenendo alla seconda sfera, quella dei fan incalliti e non da tempi recenti, serenamente affermo che Wrecking Ball è un buon album e il nostro sessantatreenne “The Boss” riesce a dirci ancora molto!... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/07…

In addition to the recently released Mjölner Warp Titan Build Showcase we wanted to take a minute to showcase a few lesser known builds!

Puffettt is an Incinerate Lich! By making use of the Blackflame Amethyst Ring and a few jewels with Increased Magnitude of Ignite and Increased Magnitude of Ailments Puffettt is able to Incinerate anything they walk near!

has combined the Occult Skill Gems Bone Cage and Bonestorm with the strengths of the Smith of Kitava! By using The Deepest Tower and Trampletoe Uniques in combination with increased damage on low life nodes on the passive tree Jorgen has created a simplistic yet destructive build!

うぉぉーくろくろのまんさぁ is playing a Support Chronomancer, while they wont be able to kill hordes of monsters themselves they will make sure their party members are nice and safe, not only by stopping time and cursing monsters with Temporal Chains and Enfeeble, they're also using the Merit of Service unique to increase their allies Block Chance!

is playing a Glacial Lance Deadeye! The neat interaction between Voltaic Mark, Cast on Freeze and Herald of Thunder provide this build with more than enough map clearing capability! They've even included Wind Serpent's Fury for even more single-target damage.

Build Showcase is a series where we look at interesting builds from the Path of Exile 2 community that have caught our attention.

This Titan was put together by DeadRabbit and uses the latest in slam technology to warp around the map, blow up screens and chunk pinnacle bosses in seconds. Check out the video below.

For more information on this build, check out DeadRabbit's video guide .
