It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

THIS is what true leaders sound like.
They don't brag about how great they are or speak nonsense about sharks, batteries, & magnets. They work for ALL the people & the ENTIRE country, focusing on prosperity.
Mostly, they don't attack, maim & kill their own citizens.

The Supreme Court's conservatives appear ready to weaponize the Equal Protection Clause to gut the Voting Rights Act — making a mockery of the law and further eroding their legitimacy. (via Bloomberg Opinion)
The Supreme Court’s ‘Colorblindness’ Would Gut the Voting Rights Act
If the oral arguments are any indication, the Supreme Court may be about to achieve a remarkably bizarre outcome: using the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to overturn a key provision of the Voting Rights Act — a law explicitly designed to achieve racial equality in voting.
