@marisakabas.bsky.social I was reading La Presse this morning, a Montréal French-language newspaper, and I came across an article about Disney losing 1.7 millions subscribers where they credit you for breaking the news. I thought I would share it with you. www.lapresse.ca/arts/televis...
Disney a perdu 1,7 million d’abonnés durant la suspension de Jimmy Kimmel
Le retour en ondes de l’animateur Jimmy Kimmel était-il motivé par l’attachement de Disney à la liberté de la presse ? Ou était-ce une décision économique ? Quoi qu’il en soit, le géant médiatique amé...

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…

@mleclerc-hockey.bsky.social Bonjour Martin, j’ai beaucoup apprécié ton billet de ce matin sur Bob Goodenow en partie parce que j’avais oublié tellement de détails de cette époque. Juste une petite correction, Marty Walsh est l’ancien maire de Boston et non New York.

Merci encore.

My latest: I wrote about the latest unqualified freak to be employed by the Trump administration—a Christian Zionist former baseball executive with an anger problem who believes he can “abolish” child sex trafficking despite no experience other than three failed nonprofits.
