Bad, whiny messaging that is demoralizing to read. If I don’t see bold-face phrases like “annihilate funding” and “criminal prosecutions” I want new Dem representatives
ICE is out of control, and we must hold them accountable for their abuses of power.

Eric Adams, a gentile, going after Brad Lander, a Jew, for not investing in Israel because Adams is running on the End Antisemitism party line to try to salvage his own corrupt legacy and hold onto power is really giving the game away in a way that I hope people notice
📨 NYC Mayor Eric Adams is accusing Comptroller Brad Lander of effectively divesting from Israel by choosing not to reinvest in Israeli bonds.
In a letter sent today, First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro is requesting a formal review of that decision to be completed within a week.

Nationalize the Ivies, make them branches of their state university systems (which get their endowment money).
Harvard, aka Resistance U, is taking advantage of the Trumpist NLRB to crush its grad student union by stripping it of 800 members.
