Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

EXCLUSIVE: City nixes property tax break for Trump’s NYC apartment

New York City has nixed a $48,000 tax break President Trump was set to receive on his Trump Tower condo following inquiries from the Daily News about whether he is still eligible for the savings. O…

Tracey Chapman is an even better artist when you realize that she was always constantly having to stay one step ahead and outsmart her nemesis, Chasey Trap-Man, while songwriting and performing across the country. A true artist.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

She's not even from New Orleans. And I learned today that her mother isn't even Jewish which in the Jewish faith to a lot of people means you are not actually Jewish so there's that. She's descended from puritans so this is not her family's first colonialism either...

The New Orleans Film Festival is now blocking local filmmakers who called them out for honoring Amy Schumer

stellaforstarfordog
& SunTruth • Free Free Palestine
I've been blocked on all social media (as have some filmmakers with relationships to the festival) for calling out the New Orleans Film Festival for giving an award to Amy Schumer, who is an unabashed Jewish supremacist and virulent Islamophobe who was one of the most prominent US celebrities spreading racist genocidal propaganda at the beginning of the ongoing escalation of the genocide.
Please go to their social media pages and make it clear that they cannot sweep genocide denial and anti-Palestinian racism under the rug, and that Zionism is a form of fascism, and fascists are not welcome in our city.
If you have time, send some emails out:

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

Here I thought Fetterman was Jewish considering how much he's an Israel lobby freak and gets personally offended on their behalf but today I learned that's not true and I'm shocked. Is this widely known??
