I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].

California showed up to send a message to Donald Trump and his cronies attempting to steal power through undemocratic redistricting. I'm proud of the message my state sent.

With the possible shortfall of SNAP funding due to the Trump administration's reckless approach to governance, please consider donating to local food banks if you are able to. Food donations are good but $ donations are better. Locally for me, I know the food bank can provide two meals for every $1.

This 1934 NYT article about a group of 75 Nazis in New Jersey getting the crap kicked out of them by 1000 “anti-Nazis” is no laughing matter and the writing is not highly entertaining.

Please do not laugh or smile while reading this as it is a very serious matter and violence is not funny.
t e ! a e T IS Le IS h 1-n! 11 MOB OF 1,000 RAIDS JERSEY NAZI RALLY Although the main disturbance occurred in the street outside the meeting place at 717 Lyons Avenue, another riot started simultaneously within the auditorium when the anti-Nazi group spread through the audience went into action. 15 Hurt in Wild Fighting at Irvington as 75 Hitlerites From Here Arrive. THIRTY-FIVE ARRESTS MADE , Newark Reserves Called to Aid in Quelling Riot Lasting an Hour and a Half. Special to THE NST YORx TENES. IRVINGTON, N. J., May 21.-A vicious attack upon seventy-five members of Friends of 'the New Germany as they arrived dressed in their blue uniforms to attend a Nazi meeting here tonight developed into a riot that lasted an hour and a half. More than fifteen persons were injured, two of them being taken to hospitals. Thirty-five were arrested. The riot eventually involved more than 1,000 persons and was put under control only after three squads of Newark police reserves aug- mented the local forces. The po- lice used their nightsticks and the invading anti-Nazis utilized brick-bats, broomsticks, rocks and stench bombs. Hundreds Greet Arrivals. The trouble started when two buses containing a New York delegation of Nazis dressed in light blue shirts, blue trousers and puttees drove up in front of the hall to attend the meeting being held by the local group of Friends of the New Germany. As the buses ar-rived, several hundred persons were gathered in the street. As soon as the first Nazi alighted a group of men in two automobiles pulled up alongside and launched the attack. This was the cue for a general free-for-all fight and the extra detail of Irvington police were unable to cope with it. As the Nazis piled out of the buses to enter the combat they were pounced upon by the invaders. Fists swung right and left, missiles flew and men, grappling in individual contests, rolled on the street. When the Newark reserves arrived the fighting was at its height. Many of the Nazis had s… g Continued From Page One. n been converted into an arena for the general indoor mêlée. Although the police on the outside were forming their forces into flying wedges in an effort to break through the surging mobs, little impression was made on the uncon- trollable mass of humanity. Those of the Nazis who were not n able to reach the supposed sanctuary within the building were easily recognizable targets, because of the bright hue of their uniforms. for their assailants. Turn on Photographers. As the fighting continued in the ol open, and the Nazis were getting si scarcer by the minute, the enraged mobs turned upon the newspaper men and photographers. Cameras were broken, clothing torn to bits, eyes blackened. Several policemen got in the way of swinging fists were knocked to the ground. Pa- trolmen Frank Dwyer and Morris Kerwan from Newark were severely slugged, but remained on duty 0 e to quell the riot.' After an hour's battle outside the riot was considered under control and most of the police entered the building to curb the intermittent disturbances there. Shortly after the bulk of the police forces were withdrawn from in front of the building the anti-Nazi group took up a strategic position on the opposite side of the street and dis- 2 paced an avalanche of bricks through the second story window. Police rushed out of the building e again to cope with the new situation and it was then that most of the arrests took place. The capacity of the Irvington patrol wagons was taxed so an or- der was sent to Newark for additional transportation. Meanwhile the two bus drivers se-came alarmed, especially after some of the mob saturated their conveyances with stench bombs, and drove away leaving the Nazis stranded. When the riot was over the police had seventy-five New York Nazis on their hands and were wondering how to get them back home. Shortly before midnight the last of the prisoners were taken from the hall to headquarters where they were charged with disorderly co…

It's Saturday night. Many things are bad. But I ate some tacos, drank some beer, and saw a Padres win with my best friend. Then I headed home and watched a silly cooking show with my wife and we laughed and laughed and laughed.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...
Q: So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase “globalize the intifada” and what we've seen as some anti-semitism coming from the left-wing protesters. A: The first thing as you were saying is anti-semitism is a real issue in our city and it's one that can be captured in statistics, the ones that you're citing. It's also one that you will feel in conversations you have with Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And I remember one conversation I had with a friend of mine after the horrific war crime of October 7th. He was telling me that he went for Shabbat services at his temple and he was facing forward when he heard the door open. And he turned back with a chill going up his spine because he didn't know who was coming in. And that's more than a year ago. And then just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a Jewish man in Williamsburg who told me that the same door he would keep unlocked for decades is one that he now locks out of a fear of what could happen in his own neighborhood. And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety. To the question of language that's being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to lead a country. And- Q: Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globalizing intifada. And like the phrase from the river to the sea, does that make you uncomfortable? Or do you think- A: Okay, those are different. Those are super different. Q: They're not really. A: Those are like different genres. Q: I'm sorry, I'm asking so wrong. Then they're not really different to me. And to some people they are not different. A: I know people for whom those things mean very different things. And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what's difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word that means struggle. And as a Muslim man who grew up post-911, I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning. And I think that's where it leaves me with a sense that what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe. And the question of the permissibility of language is something that I haven't ventured.
