Anyone from WA State remember when Rep. Mary Dye lied that Muslim snipers were plotting an attack on the dam & a bunch of Mosques got raided for nothing & the whole time it was just some white dude hunters all along?
But actual ethnic cleansing plots hatched in a Synagogue... pearl clutching!

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Ventura is "a populist, a guy without culture or ideas. Melo is a mediocre politician who let himself be dragged along by Ventura into this idea of commemorating Nov 25. Luís Montenegro... is a very ignorant person. With little culture, who knows nothing about history. So, he went along with it."

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
