“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Guest Editorial: Why we must speak up for a ceasefire in Gaza now.
Some village residents are petitioning the Croton Board of Trustees to endorse a call for a ceasefire along the lines of a recent UN resolution, which the U.S. vetoed.

Does he not know about the autistic billionaires?
RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.
Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This is not about fighting antisemitism. This is all about silencing opposing views. Today it’s pro-Palestine, tomorrow it’s pro-Ukraine, and then it’s just deporting whomever they don’t like. And then everyone is silent.

People are saying that abandoning Ukraine could lead to WWIII. Who would be fighting? The US, Russia, China and Israel against Ukraine, the rest of Europe and Iran? This doesn't work because Iran Russia & China are allies.
