The Right used the charge of antisemitism when it served their interests to pursue the slaughter of Palestinians, and now swerve to antisemitism in excusing Nick Fuentes. Makes my head spin.

And just for the record there has been over a dozen immigrant mayors of New York. It’s an old city, and a city of immigrants.

Cuomo’s plan, like many Democratic Party leaders, is to police the poor and the immigrants while the rich continue to find new ways to suck more money out of the economy. And he was counting on the rich paying him back for his service to them. Good effing riddance.

I started today at the Panamanian Day Parade Breakfast in Brooklyn.

Panama is El Puente Del Mundo—the bridge of the world—and I know how Panamanians have had to fight for every bit of freedom.

When I'm Mayor, Little Panama will finally get the recognition it deserves.

“Goering shouted, ‘This [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.’”

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.
The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

There were two paths for America and Lilith Fair was one of them. Sadly it chose the other | Emma Brockes

The all-female music festival from the 90s was a counterpoint to that era’s misogyny. Trump’s US could do with some of that hope and promise today, says Guardian columnist Emma Brockes

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

The right wing is really struggle to understand why more people want to kill guys whose ideology is "we need a race war to purge the country" than guys whose ideology is "we should have free healthcare".

MSNBC did such a terrible job last night on Charlie Kirk. He was a serious threat to this country, not a defender of free speech or an honest broker. He hated this country and its people and led young people astray. Even in death, journalists need to tell the truth.

Some countries jail journalists, or fire them, or censor them. Other countries, like Israel, murder them. Note to dictators: it never works.
