It’s not a pleasant topic to think about, and hopefully most of us will never experience it, but in the event of a security incident, learn how to keep yourselves and others as safe as possible!
Watch and share with your friends and family

Sure, it may seem like I’ve abandoned all my principles with regard to toxic masculinity and believing domestic assault allegations but you have to understand that I’m maniacally obsessed with a centuries old land dispute 7,000 miles away
Would be nice for these people who discuss savagery to spare one single thought for the Israelis raped, murdered, and kidnapped by Hamas. For my relatives who are bombed by Hezbollah. For any of the Jews around the world being harassed, beaten, and murdered for this conflict.
As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, it was beyond painful to watch individuals who claim to care about human rights celebrate the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust…the genocide perpetrated by the Third Reich.
Do not lecture anyone about human rights if you celebrate the slaughter of grandmothers and treat it as a prize to be showcased on social media; the rape, murder, and abduction of young people at a music festival dedicated to peace; or the starvation and abuse of hostages held in underground tunnels.
It is infuriating. It is morally indefensible. And it is disqualifying.
Today I stand with women who are brave enough to come forward with their stories of abuse and mistreatment.
They deserve to be heard and credible allegations must be investigated. We must believe survivors, not bully them. #BelieveSurvivors
Breaking: A day after the October 7th attack, while bodies of young dead girls were still lining the streets of Israel, DSA candidate @DarializaforNY led a rally in NYC that celebrated the attack https://t.co/9w1N3FzMSh
Brad Lander said he cut ties with DSA for promoting a controversial pro-Palestinian rally the day after Hamas attacked Israel. Darializa Avila Chevalier attended that October 8 rally.

Let’s see how many people who were 100% confident in NYT Opinion Editorial fact-checking a few weeks ago think the same about the News Desk’s fact checking in the next 72 hours
Keith Edwards, another left-wing political commentator and political strategist, says the NYT is about to run a story that Platner sexually assaulted a woman.

A young Jewish woman was hospitalized with a concussion after a reported vicious antisemitic attack on a crowded NYC subway. The attacker allegedly screamed the blood libel that “Jews eat children,” grabbed her by the throat, threw her to the ground, and ripped out her hair.
No one should have to fear for their safety because of their beliefs. We commend the @NYPDNews for making an arrest. The message must be clear: antisemitism will be met with consequences.

Totally agree! Gotta give it to you- it’s impressive how you forced the mayor to break his commitment to leading progressive & chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. He does whatever you want! We haven’t seen this type of raw political power over a NYC mayor since Tweed!
Very funny to flop after spending $10 million on your campaign and then blame "the 7 million dollars of AI, Crypto, and AIPAC money that were put into this race" for your defeat.
Darializa, Claire, & Brad all pledged not to accept corporate PAC $.
Brad even demanded that his opponent sign a pledge not to accept outside PAC spending.
All of them are now silent when a super PAC funded by a car rental tycoon is about to spend $2M to boost their campaigns.
“And he gave $1,000 last year to the Anti-Zionist America PAC, which is run by a former NYU professor, Michael Rectenwald, who published a book, ‘The Jewish Question’ — before it got changed to the ‘The Cabal Question’ by Amazon.”
Antisemitic hate crimes in New York City jumped last month. There were 41 confirmed antisemitic hate crimes in May, a 46% increase over the average for the previous three months, according to NYPD data
When a movement celebrates a deadly antisemitic attack, it shows us exactly who they are. Glorifying a man who firebombed a group of people as they peacefully walked to call attention to the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza is not activism. It's a moral disgrace.
This attack resulted in the death of an 82-year-old grandmother, Karen Diamond z"l, and left others with life-altering injuries, and this SJP chapter chose to celebrate the perpetrator and call for his release.
That should be condemned by anyone who believes in basic human decency.
Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:
* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.
There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

I've long thought about the permanent record of the Internet, and how there's no clear path, or teshuvah, to right our digital footprint.
I do believe people can change their views... But also think, as a society, we need to demand (at least those looking to lead us) clarify how they've changed.
Make a case as to what is different, what specifically you no longer believe and why... Deleting your footprint is clearly not that.
I've had an active and continued Internet presence for 20+ years now. These are things I think about. It's something anyone asking the public to trust them needs to as well.
