They rioted in the 1990s (Giuliani helped egg them on) because they wanted to make them more accountable. It helped Giuliani win the mayoral election.

I’m from there. I love the city. But it’s true it has a very high crime rate.

Well, if NYT can profile Nazis, I guess CBS can profile right-wing cops.

Why aren’t the “genocide Joe” people protesting at ALL Trump administration events like they did when Biden-Harris were in office?

Don’t show me one example of such a protest. Show me the sustained commitment to interrupting all events, as was the case with Biden—and even former VP Harris, still‼️

Sally Jenkins post with a link to whatever awful Atlantic piece about Bari Weiss reading "Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of
@theatlantic.com
is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. "

And I guarantee they are thinking about how they can provoke it.

If they pull a Tiananmen Square - remember, he said that massacre showed “strength” - this coming Saturday on the Mall, U.S. media will question the demonstrators’ judgment and intent.
