For those curious, the replies probably have it. Here’s the deets:
Screenshot from The Forward: forward.com Mayor Eric Adams, but ultimately declined to back him. In an open letter to their followers published on Wednesday, the Satmar leadership highlighted Mamdani's gestures that specifically addressed their concerns. They noted that the Democratic nominee has said he would work to protect Hasidic yeshivas that face scrutiny for failing to meet state education standards and promised that Hasidic families would benefit from his proposals to expand affordable housing and establish universal childcare. If Mamdani wins, he would become the first Muslim mayor of New York City, home to the largest concentration of Jews in the U.S.

Note for fans of Doxing definitions: this isn’t one I’d necessarily agree with. It says “the malicious publication of private or identifying information on social media about a particular individual.”
A section of the PROBABLE CAUSE part of the document reads: The Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting a criminal investigation involving ANTHONY PATRICK NOTO for a violation of federal criminal law, specifically violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). 5. Beginning on or around August 20, 2025, an Instagram user by the name of @thatdaneshguy, of Los Angeles, California, unmasked a federal deportation officer with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operation (ERO) by posting two photographs of the detention officer. This malicious publication of private or identifying information on social media about a particular individual is commonly known as "doxing." The photographs were posted on Instagram which is a social media platform which allows users to share photos and short-form videos. Instagram is owned by Meta Platforms and is based in California. The post by @thatdaneshguy was viewable worldwide. The federal deportation officer lived and worked in the Northern District of Georgia.

The same critter continues to hang out on a tire of a parked car. It leers at me, as if mocking my fear of it. I can tell its political preferences are terrible.

#whatisthisthing beetle? Big enough I didn’t want to disturb it. Or get close enough to chat with it. Seen in Philly suburbs.
A friendly looking …insect?… waves its legs, ok actually was absolutely motionless and somehow intimidated me nonetheless. It is tan and brown and grayish with some speckling on the forward portion. It looks sturdy. Closeup of a friendly looking …insect?… as it waves its legs, ok actually was absolutely motionless and somehow intimidated me nonetheless.

Honestly even the layout is a work of art.
A diagram shows as from overhead the displays and special purpose rooms at the Upoer Dublin library in PA. Concentric rings and radiating lines are notable in the arrangement.

Right in the feels.

Here’s to the people, bio dads or no, who were there for us. And to all those making sure people grow up knowing they matter, are loved, count.

And if you didn’t have one of those as your dad, I’m your dad, and I’m proud of you, kiddo. Look how you’ve turned out.

Oof. And I’m not a NYC voter or anything.
Zero candidates support scaling back the (HUGE! and wildly expensive) police force and focus on providing access to public goods instead, my preferred option.

That and worse.
Commenters on the sheriff’s department Facebook page said Harran was behaving like “a Nazi” and making his department part of “the modern-day Gestapo.” Ugly language on Facebook “You sound like a Nazi sympathizer, or collaborator, and you know what happened to them once the forces of good overpowered the forces of evil,” one woman wrote. At a hearing last week on student online safety in Northampton Township, a woman asked Harran if he planned to “round up immigrants,” called him a Nazi, and warned him to stay out of the community, reported NewtownPAnow.com.

@latimes.com has an Immigration tab, right at the top between Politics and Business, and before Entertainment and Sports. And notice the top stories at latines.com/immigration right now:
The top 3 stories are about the deported U.S. child with brain cancer, that dozens of Dominicans were arrested in a raid at a construction site in Puerto Rico, and S Miller’s floating of suspending habeas to deport people.

Just wanna highlight a quote from a Heritage person in there:

The amount of due process that deportable aliens get is, what I would say, excessive,” she said.
The backlog, says Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at the conservative Heritage Foundation, is partly due to the numerous hearings and extensions associated with immigration cases that can drag on for years. The administration is right to fast-track them, she said. “The amount of due process that deportable aliens get is, what I would say, excessive,” she said.
