Republican lawmakers are seizing on Sunday’s tragic mass shooting in Bondi Beach to call for Muslims in America to face collective punishment, in yet another example of the right’s ongoing campaign of Islamophobia.

The usual suspects are trying to drag the Overton Window to permit “deport all Muslims” as acceptable rhetoric.

Consider what should be done to those people, and then drag the Overton Window to encourage that.
A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

ICE is thug scum
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

The Heritage Foundation is an authoritarian Christian Nationalist organization.

Treat their people accordingly.
In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.
The US government is now a mafia organization.

Fuck Liam Neeson.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Remember, everything Trump says is projection and an admission. Also if you really think he's personally signed all those pardons in-between naps then I have a bridge to sell you.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Federal judges warn SCOTUS of the dangers of ruling in Trump’s favor in our lawsuit. If presidents can fire independent agency leaders at will, the FTC goes from expert watchdog to political pawn, leaving consumers more vulnerable to scams, monopolies, corporate abuses. More: https://bit.ly/4ifgT6q

A new U.S. Coast Guard policy, set to take effect next month, will no longer classify imagery of swastikas or nooses as hate symbols, downgrading the level of scrutiny needed to order their removal from Coast Guard facilities.
