I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

what garbage is this

"israeli families": means they are the people of israel
versus
"the people of Gaza", without connecting them to their land, not Palestinian, not even Gazan, this is removing the people from their land and making it sound like they just happen to be there

“I did not dare to ask who had lived in the houses before 1948, who had planted the olive trees that grew by the roadside, who was being kept out by the guns & the barbed wire. I couldn’t – or maybe I refused to – imagine that land beneath my feet was also Palestine.”

It’s time for truth telling.

So the argument for sending US troops into cities to be used against Americans is that Antifa has apparently taken over our cities and the troops have to battle them.

The Govt committed publicly to chipping in 42.5% of the cost of public hospitals by 2030.

But we’re now told that that is actually unlikely to happen.

Public hospitals are experiencing huge demand, so it’s frustrating to see the promises but no firm commitment on delivery.
