What happened

Mayor Zohran Mamdani just passed his 100th day in office.

Why it matters

But antisemitism in our city of 1 million Jews flourishes as never before.

Common ground

Tolerance for it is so pervasive that some longtime restaurant customers skipped Passover meals this year for fears of being targeted, according to my friends in the business.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, Appeal to Fear: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
